ENGINE DETAIL
The Unimog 30 tractor, powered by the Mercedes-Benz OM636 diesel engine, is noted for its compact 1.8 L displacement and 30 hp output, making it suitable for diverse agricultural applications. Its oil-bath air cleaner promotes prolonged engine life, while the high compression ratio of 19:1 enhances fuel efficiency and torque, albeit at the potential risk of engine knocks in lower-grade fuels. With a moderate RPM of 2550, it balances power delivery and engine longevity, but users may need to consider coolant and oil capacities (13.8 qts and 7 qts respectively) for maintenance planning.

UNIMOG 30 ENGINE
The Unimog 30, powered by a Mercedes-Benz 1.8L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offers a robust power-to-weight ratio suitable for various off-road applications. With a 10.88-gallon (41.2 L) fuel tank, it provides extended operational range, reducing downtime during tasks such as farming or utility maintenance. However, its limited engine displacement may result in lower torque compared to larger models, potentially impacting performance in heavy-duty applications.

TRANSMISSION
The Unimog 30 features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gearbox, providing versatility for various terrains and tasks. The dry disc clutch contributes to reduced slippage and improved durability, ideal for heavy-duty applications. However, operators may find gear shifting demands attention, especially in off-road conditions, requiring skilled handling to optimize performance.
| Gears | 8 forward and 2 reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
MECHANICAL
The Unimog 30's 4x4 4WD chassis provides superior traction and maneuverability in challenging terrains, making it ideal for agricultural and off-road applications. Its four-wheel hydraulic brake system enhances safety by offering reliable stopping power, though maintenance may be more complex compared to simpler systems. The 8-speed transmission allows for versatile speed control, but the operator must master gear selection for optimal performance in varying conditions.
