YANMAR AC-18 POWER

Engine 18 hp/13.4 kW

ENGINE DETAIL

The Yanmar AC-18, powered by a 3-cylinder 1.0L diesel engine, delivers 18 hp at 2600 RPM, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks and small-scale operations. Its liquid-cooled system ensures efficient thermal management, reducing overheating risks during extended use. However, the modest power output may limit performance in larger applications, so it is ideal for homeowners or small farms requiring maneuverability over raw horsepower.

YANMAR AC-18 ENGINE

The Yanmar AC-18, featuring a robust 1.0L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers excellent fuel efficiency with a 4.8-gallon (18.2 L) fuel tank which enhances operational duration, making it suitable for extended agricultural tasks. However, the small engine capacity may limit its power for heavy-duty applications compared to larger tractors. Its compact size and efficient fuel system make it ideal for smaller farms or landscaping projects, where maneuverability and economy are prioritized.

TRANSMISSION

The Yanmar AC-18 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, providing infinite speed control which enhances maneuverability and reduces operator fatigue during prolonged use. The two-range forward and reverse gears offer versatility for various tasks, allowing efficient operation in both low-power and high-speed scenarios. A potential challenge is that hydrostatic systems can be more complex and may require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance over time.

MECHANICAL

The Yanmar AC-18 tractor features a crawler chassis, providing improved traction and stability on uneven terrain, making it ideal for agricultural and construction applications. Its hydrostatic transmission allows for smooth speed control and effortless operation, although it may require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. The two-post ROPS enhances operator safety, but operators should be aware of potential visibility limitations compared to a full cab design.
