Introduction
Hinomoto E230 Compact Utility Tractor
The Hinomoto E230 is a compact utility tractor produced in Japan between 1979 and 1982. As part of the E180 and E280 series, this model was designed to provide reliable mechanical performance for small-scale agricultural operations and property maintenance tasks.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is equipped with a Toyosha P-126 liquid-cooled, 2-cylinder diesel engine. With a displacement of 1.3 liters (77.1 cubic inches), it produces 22.7 horsepower (16.9 kW) at a rated speed of 2500 RPM. The engine utilizes an indirect injection fuel system, glow plugs for cold-start reliability, and a dry-type air cleaner to ensure operational longevity.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The E230 features a manual gear-type transmission providing 12 forward speeds and 3 reverse speeds, organized across three ranges. This configuration allows the operator to select the appropriate gear ratio for varying load requirements. The tractor utilizes a two-wheel drive system with manual steering, housed within an open operator station.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is an open-center design operating at a pressure of 1700 psi (117.2 bar), delivering a pump flow of 5.44 gallons per minute (20.6 liters per minute). The rear hitch is a Category I three-point linkage featuring position control, capable of a lift capacity of 1467 lbs (665 kg) at the ends. The rear PTO operates at a standard speed of 540 RPM.
Dimensions and Weight
The machine has a wheelbase of 60 inches (152 cm) and an overall length of 107.9 inches (274 cm). Its compact footprint, characterized by a width of 50 inches (127 cm), facilitates maneuverability in confined spaces. The tractor has a base weight of 1868 lbs (847 kg) and is typically configured with 4.00-15 front and 11.2/10-24 rear agricultural tires.
Conclusion
The Hinomoto E230 is a straightforward, mechanically driven tractor designed for versatility in light to medium agricultural duties. Its combination of a 22-horsepower diesel engine, multi-range transmission, and standard Category I hitch makes it a functional tool for small farm management.
