ENGINES OVERVIEW
The CO-OP E4 tractor is available with a Buda 3.8L 6-cylinder engine, offering both gasoline and diesel options. The gasoline variant provides quicker starts and lower initial costs, while the diesel model boasts better fuel efficiency and higher torque for demanding tasks. Be mindful of the potential higher maintenance costs and emissions regulations associated with the diesel engine option.

ENGINE DETAIL 1
The CO-OP E4 tractor features a Buda 6B230 gasoline engine with a displacement of 3.8L, providing ample torque for agricultural tasks. With a relatively low compression ratio of 6.2:1, this engine is optimized for using lower quality fuels, which can be advantageous in rural settings with limited fuel options. However, the lower RPM rating of 1650 may limit its speed and operational efficiency compared to more modern tractors, making it better suited for tasks requiring steady power rather than high-speed applications.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The CO-OP E4 tractor features a robust Buda 6BD230 diesel engine with a displacement of 3.8L, providing good torque for heavy-duty applications. The oil bath air cleaner enhances engine protection by effectively removing particulates, which can extend engine life and reduce maintenance frequency. However, the larger displacement may result in higher fuel consumption compared to smaller engines, making it less ideal for operation in scenarios demanding optimal fuel efficiency.

TRANSMISSION
The CO-OP E4 tractor features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gear system, allowing for versatile speed control in various terrains, enhancing maneuverability. The dry disc clutch provides a reliable engagement and disengagement of the transmission, but may require more operator skill for smooth operation compared to a hydraulic clutch. In scenarios such as heavy hauling or confined spaces, the gearing allows for effective power management while the dry clutch may present challenges during prolonged use due to potential wear and required maintenance.

MECHANICAL
The CO-OP E4 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, making it suitable for lighter tasks on firm terrain but limiting its traction in muddy or uneven conditions. The manual steering provides direct feedback but may require greater operator effort during tight maneuvers. Its 6-speed gear transmission allows for versatile speed control, beneficial for both transport and fieldwork, although it may lack the ease of use found in hydrostatic transmissions.
