ENGINE DETAIL
The CaseIH 265 is powered by a Mitsubishi 3-cylinder diesel engine with a relatively small displacement of 1.3 L, which produces a modest 27 hp, ideal for light-duty agricultural tasks and small farm operations. It features a dry cyclone air cleaner, aiding in improved engine efficiency by reducing particle ingress, but its rated RPM of 2700 limits higher-speed applications. Pros include lower fuel consumption and maintenance costs, while challenges could arise in terms of power output for heavier implements, making it best suited for smaller-scale farming scenarios.
