TAFE 3840 ENGINE
The TAFE 3840 tractor features a 2.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of power and efficiency suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks. With an 11.6-gallon (43.9L) fuel tank, it offers reasonable operational range, reducing the frequency of refueling during long work sessions. However, the smaller engine displacement may limit its performance in heavy towing scenarios compared to larger tractors, necessitating careful selection of applications.

TRANSMISSION
The TAFE 3840 tractor features a sliding mesh transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, allowing for versatile operation across different terrains. This transmission type offers direct power transfer but can result in higher operational noise and gear wear compared to constant mesh systems. Ideal for agricultural tasks requiring frequent gear changes, the tractor's configuration enables better speed control when maneuvering implement attachments.

MECHANICAL
The TAFE 3840 tractor features hydrostatic power steering, enhancing maneuverability and operator comfort during precision tasks in tight spaces. Its drum brakes offer reliable stopping power but may require more maintenance compared to disc brakes, especially under heavy load conditions. The 8-speed transmission provides versatile speed options, enabling effective performance across various field operations, though shifting may require more operator skill in challenging terrains.

TAFE 3840 TIRES
The TAFE 3840 tractor is equipped with 6.00x16 front and 12.4x28 rear agricultural tires, providing a good balance between traction and stability for moderate agricultural tasks. The smaller front tires enhance maneuverability, while the larger rear tires support heavier loads, making it ideal for small to medium-sized farming operations. However, users may face challenges with soil compaction when operating on softer terrains, so monitoring field conditions is crucial.
