ENGINE DETAIL
The Branson 8050 features a turbocharged Kukje D3400T5 engine with a displacement of 3.4L, delivering 78hp at 2500 RPM, making it suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks and utility applications. Its high 18.5:1 compression ratio enhances fuel efficiency and torque, though it may require higher-quality diesel fuel to prevent knocking. The dry air cleaner system is low-maintenance, but a pre-heating air heater indicates a design consideration for cold-start reliability in adverse conditions, which can be advantageous in variable climates.
