ENGINE DETAIL
The Shibaura ST329 tractor features a compact 3-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 1.3L, delivering 29hp at a rated RPM of 2800, making it suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks. Its 12-volt starter system ensures reliable ignition, which can be advantageous for use in colder climates. However, the relatively low power may limit its effectiveness in heavy-duty applications, so it’s best suited for smaller farms or specialized tasks.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Shibaura ST329 tractor features a 9-speed forward and 3-speed reverse transmission, providing flexibility and control for various agricultural tasks. The extensive gear range enhances operability in different terrains and conditions, allowing the operator to optimize power delivery based on load and speed requirements. However, the complexity of a 9-speed transmission may require more operator training to efficiently utilize its capabilities, especially in intricate fieldwork scenarios.
| Gears | 9 forward and 3 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Shibaura ST329 features infinite hydrostatic transmission, offering seamless speed control for varied applications, such as mowing or tilling, without the shifting interruptions of traditional gear systems. This design enhances ease of operation and reduces driver fatigue, particularly in tight spaces or complex jobs. However, hydrostatic systems may require more maintenance and can be less efficient in heavily loaded conditions compared to mechanical transmissions.

| Gears | infinite forward and reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Shibaura ST329 features a 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front-Wheel Drive) system, providing enhanced traction on various terrains, ideal for agricultural applications requiring stability in wet or uneven fields. Its power steering facilitates ease of maneuverability, reducing operator fatigue during prolonged use. The 9-speed transmission offers versatility in speed selection, catering to both high-torque tasks such as tillage and faster operations like transport, though it may require skill to efficiently navigate the range for optimal performance.
