ENGINE DETAIL

The Square Turn 18-35 tractor features a Climax K gasoline engine with a significant displacement of 510.5 ci (8.4 L), providing robust power delivery suitable for heavy-duty applications. Its 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled configuration offers effective thermal management, potentially enhancing engine longevity and efficiency. However, with a low rated RPM of 850, it may exhibit limited peak power performance compared to higher RPM engines, which could affect its suitability for high-speed operations.

SQUARE TURN 18-35 ENGINE

The Square Turn 18-35 features an 8.4L 4-cylinder Climax gasoline engine, providing robust power for medium to heavy-duty tasks. With a dual 15-gallon fuel tank system totaling 30 gallons, it offers extended operational time, reducing refueling intervals—ideal for large-scale agricultural or landscaping projects. However, the gasoline engine may result in higher operational costs compared to diesel alternatives, impacting budget considerations for long-term use.

TRANSMISSION

The Square Turn 18-35 tractor features a [-|-] friction disc, providing improved torque transfer and smooth engagement, which is advantageous for precision tasks. The infinite forward and reverse gear system enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for diverse agricultural applications. However, the friction disc may require more frequent maintenance compared to traditional systems, especially under heavy load conditions.

MECHANICAL

The Square Turn 18-35 tractor features a 3x2 2WD chassis, making it suitable for flat terrains but limiting its performance in steep or muddy conditions. The bull gear final drives enhance torque delivery, which is beneficial for heavy-duty applications, although they may limit speed due to their design. The open operator station offers better visibility but lacks protection from the elements, impacting operator comfort during prolonged use.

SQUARE TURN 18-35 TIRES

The Square Turn 18-35 tractor features heavy-duty agricultural front tires measuring 61x12 inches, which enhance traction and stability on various terrains, ideal for plowing and tilling. The steel construction offers durability and resistance to wear, though it may increase overall weight and affect maneuverability in tight spaces. Operators should consider soil conditions and intended applications to optimize performance and prevent soil compaction.
