ENGINE DETAIL
The Branson 5530R tractor is powered by a Kukje A2300T2-ATC turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 2.3L, delivering 55hp at 2600 RPM, which provides sufficient power for various agricultural tasks. The dual dry element air cleaner enhances filtration efficiency, contributing to engine longevity, while the optional block heater aids in cold weather starts. However, the relatively high compression ratio (21.3:1) may lead to increased wear if not properly maintained, making regular servicing critical in high-load scenarios.
