VOLVO T31 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Volvo T31 tractor is powered by a robust D4F kerosene engine, featuring a displacement of 3.5L and capable of delivering 36hp at a rated speed of 1500 RPM. This engine design offers relatively high torque at low RPMs, making it advantageous for heavy pulling and fieldwork applications. However, being a 6-volt starter system may present challenges in cold weather performance compared to modern 12V systems, particularly for cold starts or when using electric implements.

VOLVO T31 ENGINE
The Volvo T31 tractor features a robust 3.5L 4-cylinder kerosene engine, offering efficient fuel use with a primary tank capacity of 15.9 gallons (60.2L) and an auxiliary tank of 1 gallon (3.8L) for extended run times. One advantage is its dual fuel storage, which can enhance versatility in operational scenarios. However, the reliance on kerosene may pose challenges in fuel accessibility and availability in some regions.

TRANSMISSION
The Volvo T31 tractor features a 5-speed forward and 1-speed reverse gear configuration, offering versatility for various field tasks. This gearing allows for improved torque transmission and efficiency during operations, particularly in tight spaces or on inclines. However, the limited reverse gear may challenge maneuvers in more confined areas or during complex turning operations.

MECHANICAL
The Volvo T31 tractor, with its 4x2 2WD chassis and manual steering, is suited for straightforward agricultural tasks where terrain is manageable; however, it may struggle with traction on uneven or slippery surfaces. The open operator station provides enhanced visibility and air circulation, but offers limited protection against elements. Its 5-speed gear transmission allows for versatility in speed control, yet lacks the precision of modern hydrostatic systems for variable speed needs in complex operations.

VOLVO T31 TIRES
The Volvo T31 tractor features an agricultural front tire size of 6.00-19, which offers decent traction for light to medium-duty tasks, while the larger rear tires (13-30) enhance stability and load-bearing capacity, ideal for heavier implements. The size combination allows for improved maneuverability in various terrains but may require careful consideration for tire pressure to avoid excessive soil compaction. Ensure that the tractor's power-to-weight ratio is suitable for the intended agricultural applications to maximize operational efficiency.
