ENGINE DETAIL
The Simplicity 9528 tractor features a robust Toyosha S148 engine with a 28 hp output at a rated RPM of 2500, providing sufficient power for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its high compression ratio of 23:1 contributes to fuel efficiency and torque, while the dry element air cleaner enhances engine protection. Challenges may include potential overheating due to its compact design and limited coolant capacity of 5.3 qts, especially under continuous heavy load conditions.

ENGINE OIL
The Simplicity 9528 tractor has an oil capacity of 5 quarts (4.7 liters) and requires an oil change every 50 hours of operation. This relatively low oil capacity can be advantageous for small tasks but may pose a challenge for prolonged heavy-duty use, necessitating more frequent maintenance. Regular adherence to oil change intervals is crucial for maintaining engine performance and extending the tractor's lifespan.

SIMPLICITY 9528 ENGINE
The Simplicity 9528 tractor features a Toyosha 1.5L 2-cylinder diesel engine, providing efficient fuel consumption and reliable torque, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks. However, its compact size limits power output compared to larger tractors, which could affect performance in heavy-duty applications. This model is best utilized for small to medium-scale operations, offering ease of maneuverability in confined spaces.

TRANSMISSION
The Simplicity 9528 tractor features an unsynchronized gear transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, necessitating a complete stop and clutch engagement for shifting. While this design simplifies construction and enhances reliability, it can be a limitation for tasks requiring rapid gear changes. The 215mm dry disc clutch and 26.8 qts oil capacity facilitate maintenance, but operators should consider potential downtime due to clutch wear from frequent stops during operation.
| Type | unsynchronized gear |
| Gears | 8 forward and 2 reverse |
| Clutch | 215mm dry disc |
| Oil capacity | 26.8 qts/25.4 L |
| Description | Four gears (1-4) in two ranges (low/high). Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift gears or range. |

MECHANICAL
The Simplicity 9528, with its 4x2 2WD chassis and standard rear differential lock, provides reliable traction suited for light to moderate agricultural tasks. The open operator station enhances visibility but may expose the operator to elements; consider the optional ROPS and canopy for safety. The 8-speed unsynchronized transmission allows for versatile speed control, but operators may require more skill for smooth gear shifting compared to synchronized systems.
