ENGINE DETAIL

The Apollo 354 tractor, powered by a 35 hp diesel Changfa CF3B28T engine, features a 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled design that optimally balances fuel efficiency and power output at a rated 2600 RPM. Its direct injection fuel system enhances combustion efficiency, yielding better torque delivery for farming applications, although it may require more precise fuel management to prevent injector fouling. With a 12-volt electric starter, this tractor is well-suited for agricultural tasks in moderate terrains, but potential challenges may arise in extremely cold environments where the engine may need preheating.

APOLLO 354 ENGINE

The Apollo 354 tractor is powered by a Changfa 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing efficient torque and fuel economy for moderate agricultural tasks. With a 9.2-gallon (34.8 L) fuel tank, it offers extended operational time before refueling, making it suitable for long hours in the field. However, the smaller engine size may limit its performance in heavy-duty applications, requiring assessment of power requirements based on specific farming needs.

TRANSMISSION

The Apollo 354 tractor features an 8-speed transmission with shuttle shifting, allowing for efficient direction changes, making it ideal for tasks requiring frequent forward and reverse motions, such as loader work. The 228.6mm dry disc clutch provides reliable power transfer but may require more maintenance in dusty environments compared to wet clutches. Overall, the dual-range gear system enhances versatility across various applications, balancing speed and torque as needed.

Gears 8 forward and reverse
Clutch 228.6mm dry disc
Description Four gears (1-4) in two ranges (low/high) with shuttle shifting.

SPEEDS

Description Reverse speeds are about 7% slower than forward./

MECHANICAL

The Apollo 354's 4x4 MFWD provides excellent traction and stability on uneven terrain, making it ideal for agricultural operations. Its dual plate wet disc brakes enhance stopping power and improve safety under heavy loads. The 8-speed shuttle transmission allows for smooth direction changes and speed adjustments, optimizing efficiency during field work while the foldable ROPS offers protection without sacrificing visibility.

APOLLO 354 TIRES

The Apollo 354 tractor features a versatile tire configuration, with standard agricultural tires (front: 6.00x16, rear: 11.2x24) suitable for fieldwork, providing excellent traction and flotation. The option for industrial tires (front: 9.0x15, rear: 15x19.5) enhances maneuverability and load-bearing capability, making it ideal for construction and material handling applications. However, switching between tire types may require additional adjustments to maintain optimal performance and stability in different operational scenarios.
