APOLLO 454 ENGINE
The Apollo 454 tractor, equipped with a 2.5L 4-cylinder Changfa diesel engine, offers a balance of power and efficiency suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. Its 9.5-gallon (36.0 L) fuel tank provides a decent operating range, reducing downtime for refueling during extended jobs. However, while adequate for light to medium-duty tasks, the smaller fuel capacity may require more frequent stops for larger-scale operations, potentially impacting productivity.

TRANSMISSION
The Apollo 454 tractor features an 8-speed transmission with shuttle shifting, allowing for efficient operation in both forward and reverse within various working conditions. The 228.6mm dry disc clutch provides durability and smooth engagement, but may require more effort in frequent start-stop scenarios. Ideal for tasks requiring quick directional changes, such as loader work or transporting loads across uneven terrain, this setup enhances maneuverability while maintaining power delivery.

APOLLO 454 TIRES
The Apollo 454 tractor is equipped with standard agricultural tires (6.5x16 front, 12.4x24 rear), optimizing traction and stability for field operations. Alternatively, industrial tires (10x16.5 front, 16.5x22.5 rear) provide enhanced durability and load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for construction and heavy-duty applications. Considerations include the trade-off between agricultural efficiency and industrial strength, depending on the primary usage scenario.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Apollo 454 tractor, with a weight of 4365 lbs (1979 kg), exhibits a balanced weight-to-power ratio, enhancing its stability and traction during agricultural tasks. The front tires measuring 6.5x16 and rear tires at 12.4x24 indicate suitability for both tillage and transportation over moderate terrain. However, the smaller front tires might pose challenges in handling heavy loads on uneven surfaces, necessitating careful operational management in rugged conditions.
