Introduction
Iseki TM215 Compact Utility Tractor
The Iseki TM215 is a compact utility tractor produced between 1994 and 2004. Designed for versatility in agricultural, landscaping, and property maintenance applications, this machine combines a compact chassis with a robust diesel powertrain.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an Iseki E393 liquid-cooled, 3-cylinder diesel engine. With a displacement of 56.6 cubic inches (0.9 liters), the engine produces 15.5 horsepower at a rated speed of 2500 RPM. It features an electric starter system and a dry-type air cleaner to ensure reliable operation across various environments.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Users could select between two transmission configurations: an unsynchronized gear-drive system providing 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, or a hydrostatic transmission offering infinite speed control across two ranges. The standard four-wheel drive system, combined with hydrostatic power steering and mechanical dry shoe brakes, provides high maneuverability in confined spaces.
Hydraulics and PTO
The TM215 utilizes an open-center hydraulic system with a total flow capacity of 4.8 gallons per minute and an operating pressure of 1991 psi. The rear Category I hitch offers a lift capacity of 1,058 pounds. Power take-off options include a continuous rear PTO capable of 540/1000 RPM and a mid-mounted PTO operating at 2000 RPM.
Dimensions and Chassis
Built on a 56.1-inch wheelbase, the tractor features a ground clearance of 9.6 inches, facilitating work over uneven terrain. Its total length is 87.2 inches with a width of 46.9 inches, making it well-suited for narrow passages. It supports various tire configurations, including agricultural and lawn/turf options, to adapt to specific soil conditions.
Conclusion
The Iseki TM215 is a durable and highly adaptable utility tractor. Its combination of multiple transmission options, hydraulic capacity, and compact dimensions makes it an effective tool for small-scale farming, groundskeeping, and residential property management.
