Introduction
Solis S26 Compact Utility Tractor
The Solis S26 is a compact utility tractor manufactured in India by Solis, a division of Sonalika. Introduced in 2019, this machine is designed for light agricultural, landscaping, and maintenance tasks, offering a balance of maneuverability and functional power in a small-frame package.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, 3-cylinder Mitsubishi S3L2 diesel engine with a displacement of 1.3 liters (80.4 cubic inches). It produces 26 horsepower (19.4 kW) at a rated engine speed of 2500 RPM, delivering 56.3 lb-ft (76.3 Nm) of torque. The engine utilizes a dry-type air cleaner and a 12-volt electric starter system.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The S26 features a four-wheel-drive system to improve traction on varied terrain. Operators can choose between two transmission configurations: a standard gear-based transmission offering 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, or a shuttle transmission providing 9 forward and 9 reverse gears for more efficient directional changes. Steering is assisted by a power steering system, and braking is handled by wet disc brakes.
Hydraulics and Implements
The hydraulic system features a pump flow rate of 3.6 gpm (13.6 lpm). The rear hitch is a category-standard system capable of lifting 1323 lbs (600 kg), with an optional capacity of up to 1709 lbs (775 kg). A rear power take-off (PTO) operating at 540 RPM is provided to drive various implements.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The tractor is equipped with a two-post folding Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS), with an optional cab available for enhanced operator protection. It rests on a 61.4-inch wheelbase with a ground clearance of 9.5 inches, providing stability for its size. The operating weight ranges from 2359 lbs for the ROPS model up to 2789 lbs for the cab version.
