ENGINE DETAIL
The Apollo 254 tractor features a Changfa CF3B25T engine, which is a 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 93.5 ci (1.5 L) and a gross power output of 25 hp (18.6 kW) at 2400 RPM. Its direct injection fuel system enhances fuel efficiency and combustion efficiency, making it suitable for agricultural tasks in moderate load scenarios. The electric starter with a 12V system provides reliable ignition in various conditions, though the limited horsepower may pose challenges for heavy-duty applications or demanding terrains.

APOLLO 254 ENGINE
The Apollo 254 tractor is equipped with a Changfa 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering moderate power for small to medium farming tasks. Its 6.6-gallon (25.0 L) fuel tank provides extended operational time between refuels, making it suitable for longer use on larger plots. However, the relatively small engine may face challenges in heavier workloads or steep terrains, potentially limiting its versatility compared to more powerful models.

TRANSMISSION
The Apollo 254 tractor features a 9 forward and 3 reverse gear configuration with a 203mm dry disc clutch, facilitating smooth and efficient operation across various terrains. The three-speed transmission across low, medium, high ranges enhances versatility for different applications, making it suitable for both heavy-duty tasks and lighter operations. A potential challenge may be the need for operator skill to effectively manage the gear transitions and maximize productivity in differing field conditions.

MECHANICAL
The Apollo 254 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD, ensuring enhanced traction and stability across various terrains, making it ideal for both agricultural and construction applications. The dual plate wet disc brakes offer superior stopping power and reduced maintenance compared to traditional brakes, although they may be more costly to replace. The 9-speed transmission enables operators to optimize power delivery and efficiency, but it may require skill to select the appropriate gear for diverse operating conditions.

APOLLO 254 TIRES
The Apollo 254 tractor features standard agricultural tires with a front size of 6.00x16 and a rear size of 9.5x24, providing balanced traction and stability for various farming operations. The tire configuration enhances maneuverability in tight spaces while maintaining weight distribution for optimized soil compaction. However, the limited size may restrict performance in very rough terrain or heavy load applications, making it ideal for moderate tasks such as tilling and planting rather than for extensive field hauling.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Apollo 254 tractor's weight of 3649 lbs (1655 kg) allows for decent stability and traction on various terrains, though it may pose challenges in overly muddy conditions due to its lower weight class compared to heavier tractors. The front tire size of 6.00x16 offers enhanced maneuverability but may compromise load handling under heavy-duty tasks, while the rear tire size of 9.5x24 provides a good balance of flotation and grip. Overall, its design is apt for small to medium-scale farming operations, particularly in dry or moderately wet conditions.
