Introduction
Mitsubishi GSK255 Half-Track Tractor
The Mitsubishi GSK255 is a specialized half-track tractor produced between 2013 and 2017. Designed for agricultural environments requiring high traction, this machine integrates a crawler-style rear drive system with the maneuverability of a traditional tractor.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an Isuzu E3CD 3-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters (91.4 ci). Liquid-cooled for thermal stability, this engine produces 26.2 hp (19.5 kW) at a rated speed of 2500 RPM. The unit utilizes an electric starting system with a 12-volt battery.
Transmission and Drive
The GSK255 features a mechanical transmission offering 12 forward and 12 reverse gears. It is equipped with a shuttle shift mechanism across three ranges, allowing for efficient direction changes. The drive system utilizes a half-track configuration, which enhances flotation and grip on soft or uneven terrain compared to standard wheel-based tractors.
Hydraulics and PTO
The machine includes a rear PTO providing a standard 540 RPM speed at 2500 engine RPM. The rear hitch is configured to the JIS0 standard, facilitating compatibility with various agricultural implements. Power steering is standard, reducing operator fatigue during field operations.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The tractor is available with either a two-post ROPS or an optional cab. The ROPS version weighs approximately 1305 kg, while the cab model weighs 1495 kg. With a ground clearance of 41 cm and a width of 143 cm, the machine is designed for stability in tight workspaces. Front tread is fixed at 96 cm, with rear track width at 103 cm.
Conclusion
The Mitsubishi GSK255 is engineered for specialized agricultural tasks where traction and ground pressure are critical. Its combination of a reliable Isuzu engine, half-track drive, and versatile transmission makes it suitable for operations in challenging soil conditions.
