ENGINE DETAIL
The TAFE 3600 tractor features a 4-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 1.8 L, generating 36 hp at a rated RPM of 2700, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. Its dry air cleaner system aids in dust prevention, but could be a challenge in extremely dusty conditions, requiring more frequent maintenance. With an oil capacity of 4.8 quarts and a coolant capacity of 2.8 quarts, it offers manageable servicing intervals but operators should monitor fluid levels closely to ensure optimal engine performance in varied operating scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The hydrostatic transmission in the TAFE 3600 tractor allows for smooth and precise speed adjustments without the need for manual gear shifting, enhancing operator comfort and reducing fatigue. The 3-range infinite forward and reverse gear system provides excellent versatility for varied agricultural tasks, allowing operators to adapt the power output efficiently based on terrain and implement requirements. However, hydrostatic systems may have higher maintenance costs and reduced efficiency at maximum loads compared to traditional gear-driven transmissions.

MECHANICAL
The TAFE 3600 features a robust 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front Wheel Drive) chassis, providing enhanced traction and stability on varying terrains, ideal for agricultural and heavy-duty applications. Its hydrostatic power steering ensures easy maneuverability, reducing operator fatigue during long hours of use. The independent wet disc brakes offer reliable stopping power and prolonged lifespan, though maintenance may be slightly more complex compared to traditional systems.

TAFE 3600 TIRES
The TAFE 3600 tractor features Ag front tires (8.0-16) and Ag rear tires (12.4-24), which provide a balanced ground contact area for improved traction and stability on various terrains. The larger rear tires facilitate better weight distribution and enhance lifting capabilities, making it suitable for both agricultural applications and light-duty tasks. However, the tire size may limit maneuverability in tighter spaces and may require adjustments to field row spacing for optimal performance.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The TAFE 3600 tractor has a weight of 2,954 lbs (1,339 kg), providing a stable base for various agricultural tasks but may limit mobility on uneven terrain. The front tire size of 8.0-16 offers good maneuverability, while the larger rear tires (12.4-24) enhance traction and stability during heavy-duty work. Ideal for medium-scale farming operations, the tractor balances power and compactness, but operators should be cautious of its total weight when navigating soft soils to avoid sinking.
