CAMECO 305-B POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Cameco 305-B tractor is powered by a Caterpillar 3304T turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 425 ci (7.0 L), delivering 165 hp (123.0 kW) at a rated RPM of 2200. This 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine offers robust torque for heavy-duty operations, making it suitable for agricultural and industrial applications. However, the engine's weight and size may pose challenges in terms of maneuverability and fuel efficiency in lighter applications; thus, it excels in scenarios requiring consistent power output over extended periods.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Cameco 305-B tractor, with a weight of 22,000 lbs (9979 kg), provides a robust base for stability and traction in demanding agricultural or industrial applications. Its heavyweight can enhance ground contact, reducing soil compaction but may present challenges in maneuverability on softer terrains. Optimal scenarios include heavy-duty plowing or towing where its significant mass benefits performance, but operators should be mindful of fuel efficiency and potential wear on softer surfaces.
