VST VT224 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The VST VT224 tractor is powered by a Mitsubishi V3D diesel engine with a 1.0 L displacement, delivering a modest 22 hp at 3000 RPM and impressive torque of 39.8 lb-ft at 2200 RPM, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks. Key advantages include its oil bath air cleaner and glow plug pre-heating, which enhance reliability in various operating conditions. However, with a compression ratio of 23:1, careful maintenance is essential to avoid potential overheating issues, particularly when operating in demanding, high-load scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The VST VT224 tractor features a synchronized gear transmission with 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, enhancing its operational versatility for various agricultural tasks. This gear configuration allows for smooth speed transitions and better control, particularly in tight maneuvering scenarios. However, the limited number of gears may present challenges in very hilly terrains or for specific applications requiring precise speed adjustments.

MECHANICAL
The VST VT224 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD chassis, providing enhanced traction and stability, particularly in challenging terrains. Its shoe braking system may offer simple maintenance but can be less effective under heavy loads compared to disc brakes. With a 6-speed gear transmission, it allows for versatile speed control, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks; however, operators may require more skill for optimal performance.
