| Engine (gross) | 25hp / 18.6kW |
| PTO (claimed) | 22.7hp / 16.9kW |
ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Chery RD250 tractor offers power from two engine options: the Lai Dong 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel, providing balanced torque and fuel efficiency, and the Jiang Dong 1.7L 2-cylinder diesel, which may offer higher power output but typically at the cost of efficiency and emissions. The choice between these engines depends on the intended application—smaller fields may benefit from the more efficient 3-cylinder, whereas larger operations might prefer the higher displacement 2-cylinder for demanding tasks. Key considerations include maintenance ease, fuel consumption rates, and specific power requirements for your agricultural needs.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Chery RD250 tractor features an 8-forward and 2-reverse gear transmission, which provides versatility for various terrains and applications, enhancing productivity in both fieldwork and transport tasks. The 203.2mm dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement and disengagement under load, but may require more maintenance compared to wet clutches in challenging conditions. Overall, the RD250 is suitable for small to medium-scale agricultural operations, balancing efficiency and ease of use, though operators should be mindful of potential clutch wear with frequent PTO engagements.
