ENGINE DETAIL
The County 654 tractor features a Ford 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing robust torque for heavy-duty applications due to its 256 ci (4.2 L) displacement and a high compression ratio of 16.5:1. The bore and stroke dimensions of 4.40 x 4.20 inches allow for an efficient power delivery at a rated RPM of 2100, making it suitable for agricultural tasks requiring sustained load. Key considerations include potential advantages in fuel efficiency and torque output, but operators should be aware of higher maintenance needs typical of liquid-cooled diesel systems.
