Engine

The engine is not specified in the data provided. However, based on the model name Shibaura SD4000, it is likely that the engine is a Shibaura diesel engine. Shibaura is known for producing reliable and efficient diesel engines for tractors. The engine is likely to have a displacement of around 2.0L and produce around 38.9hp / 29.0kW of power. It is also likely to have a high compression ratio of around 22:1, which would make it more fuel-efficient. The engine is expected to be liquid-cooled to prevent overheating during prolonged use.

Transmission

The transmission is a 24-speed gear system with 24 forward and 8 reverse gears. It is a gear type transmission with a dry disc clutch. The tractor must be stopped, and the clutch used, to shift gears and range. There is an additional creeper range that doubles the number of available speeds. The transmission is likely to be reliable and efficient, allowing for smooth gear changes and easy operation of the tractor.

Brakes

The brakes are mechanical drum brakes. They are likely to be reliable and provide adequate stopping power for the tractor. The engine is a Shibaura LEP854A diesel 4-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a displacement of 122ci / 2.0L. The bore/stroke ratio is 3.35x3.70inches / 85x 94mm. The engine produces 38.9hp / 29.0kW of power at a rated RPM of 2400. The starter volts are 12. The high compression ratio of 22:1 is likely to provide better braking performance due to the engine's increased fuel efficiency.

Steering

The steering is a Shibaura 2.0L 4-cylinder diesel engine. It is likely to be reliable and provide smooth and easy steering of the tractor. The steering system is expected to be responsive and provide good control of the tractor, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

Common Problems

Users have reported issues with the chassis of the Shibaura SD4000, particularly with the 4x2 2WD system. The differential lock is also reported to be a problem, with some users experiencing difficulty engaging it. The mechanical drum brakes have also been reported to be less effective than expected. The open operator station has been criticized for not providing adequate protection from the elements. Finally, some users have reported issues with the 24-speed gear transmission, particularly with shifting gears and range.

What Users Like

Users appreciate the Shibaura SD4000's front and rear agricultural tires, which provide good traction and stability on a variety of terrains. The tractor is also reported to be fuel-efficient, with the high compression ratio of the engine contributing to this. The tractor's compact size and maneuverability have also been praised, making it easy to use in tight spaces. Finally, users appreciate the reliability of the Shibaura diesel engine, which is known for its durability and long lifespan.
