UTB/UNIVERSAL 524 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The UTB/Universal 524 tractor features a 3-cylinder diesel engine with a 2.8L displacement, offering 52hp at a rated RPM of 2400, which enhances its torque characteristics for heavier agricultural tasks. The bore and stroke dimensions (102x110 mm) indicate a long stroke design, providing good low-end torque but potentially limiting high RPM performance. As a 12-volt starter system, it facilitates easier starting under various conditions, making it suitable for a range of farming applications, though owners should consider the engine's cooling needs and maintenance for prolonged efficiency.

TRANSMISSION
The UTB/Universal 524 tractor's 12 forward and 3 reverse gears provide a versatile range of speed and torque settings, making it suitable for various agricultural applications. However, the relatively limited reverse gear options may present challenges when maneuvering in tight spaces or during specific fieldwork scenarios. Overall, the wide forward gear selection enhances its adaptability, but operators should be mindful of its constraints in reverse operations.

MECHANICAL
The UTB/Universal 524 tractor offers a versatile 4x2 or optional 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction and stability in varied terrains. Its 12-speed transmission provides a balance between speed and torque control, suitable for diverse agricultural tasks. However, the 4WD option may increase maintenance complexity and cost in some scenarios where 2WD suffices.
