TAFE 5040 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The TAFE 5040 tractor features a robust SJ327E diesel engine with a displacement of 2.7L, producing 50hp at a rated RPM of 2250, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks. A notable torque of 132.8 lb-ft at 1200 RPM enhances its performance in heavy-duty applications, but the dry air cleaner may require more frequent maintenance compared to a wet type. With an oil capacity of 6 quarts and a coolant capacity of 10.4 quarts, ensure proper fluid levels are maintained for optimal performance and longevity.

TRANSMISSION
The TAFE 5040 features a sliding mesh transmission, providing robust gear engagement but requiring a skillful operator for seamless shifting, particularly under load. With 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, it offers flexibility for various applications, enabling efficient maneuverability in tight spaces. However, the mechanical complexity may increase maintenance needs, making operator familiarity with manual transmissions beneficial.

MECHANICAL
The TAFE 5040 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering good maneuverability in flat terrains but limited traction in challenging conditions such as muddy or hilly landscapes. Its hydrostatic power steering enhances operator comfort and control, particularly during prolonged use, while the drum brakes provide reliable stopping power but may require more maintenance than disc brakes. The 8-speed transmission allows for versatility in speed management, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks, although it may lack the precision of a synchro transmission for more demanding applications.

TAFE 5040 TIRES
The TAFE 5040 tractor features a front tire size of 6.00x16 and rear tire size of 13.6x28, providing a balanced load distribution and good traction in various agricultural terrains. The relatively smaller front tires enhance maneuverability, while the larger rear tires improve stability and power transfer during field operations. This configuration is advantageous for diverse tasks such as tilling and hauling, but may present challenges in very muddy or uneven conditions where deeper treads are beneficial.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The TAFE 5040 tractor, with a wheelbase of 77 inches, offers stability while operating on uneven terrain, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces. Weighing 4,100 lbs provides a solid ground grip but may present challenges such as increased fuel consumption during transport. The tire specifications (6.00x16 front and 13.6x28 rear) indicate suitability for moderate agricultural tasks, though tire selection may need adjustment for heavy-duty applications or varied soil conditions.
