Engine 41.4hp / 30.9kW

ENGINE DETAIL

The Yanmar EF342J tractor, powered by a 4TNV88 diesel engine, delivers 41.4 horsepower at a rated RPM of 2700, ideal for mid-range agricultural tasks. The compact 2.2L displacement, along with a bore and stroke ratio designed for balance, enhances fuel efficiency while maintaining sufficient torque output for challenging terrains. However, potential challenges may include limited power for heavy-duty applications; thus, it excels in lighter tasks such as tilling or mowing in smaller farms or gardens.

YANMAR EF342J ENGINE

The Yanmar EF342J features a robust 2.2L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing efficient power for various agricultural tasks. Its 9.5-gallon fuel tank ensures extended operation between refueling, which is advantageous for larger plots. However, the limited fuel capacity relative to its size may necessitate careful planning for extended usage scenarios.

TRANSMISSION

The Yanmar EF342J tractor features a four-speed power shift transmission with 20 forward and reverse gears, enhancing versatility in various agricultural applications. The four power shift gears across five ranges, coupled with a shuttle function, allow for precise control during tasks requiring constant changes in direction, such as loader work or plowing. However, the complexity of this transmission may present a learning curve for operators not accustomed to power shift systems.

Gears 20 forward and reverse
Description Four power shift gears in five ranges, with shuttle

SPEEDS

Description Reverse speeds are 5% slower than forward

MECHANICAL

The Yanmar EF342J features a robust 4x4 MFWD (mechanical front-wheel drive) chassis, enhancing traction and stability in diverse soil conditions, making it ideal for agricultural applications. Its 20-speed, four-speed power shift transmission provides excellent torque management and speed versatility, allowing operators to adapt to varying terrain and workload seamlessly. However, while the complex transmission may require a steeper learning curve for new users, its efficiency can significantly improve productivity once mastered.
