DAEDONG DK80 ENGINE

The Daedong DK80 is powered by a robust Perkins 4.2L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering a reliable power-to-weight ratio suitable for various agricultural tasks. Its 22.7-gallon fuel tank enables extended operational periods without frequent refueling, enhancing productivity in the field. However, the vehicle's weight and dimensions should be considered for maneuverability in tighter spaces or hilly terrains.

TRANSMISSION

The Daedong DK80 tractor features a 12-speed transmission, offering enhanced versatility for various agricultural tasks through optimal gear selection. This allows for efficient operation across different terrains and load conditions, but the complexity of shifting can pose a challenge for less experienced operators. When used in high-demand scenarios, such as plowing or heavy tilling, the availability of multiple gears can improve fuel efficiency and reduce engine strain.

Gears 12 forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Daedong DK80 features a 4x4 MFWD configuration, providing enhanced traction and stability across various terrains, which is ideal for agricultural and heavy-duty applications. Its hydrostatic power steering offers improved maneuverability, reducing operator fatigue during extended use. However, while the 12-speed transmission allows for versatility in speed control, managing gear shifts may require initial acclimatization for optimal performance.

DAEDONG DK80 TIRES

The Daedong DK80 tractor features a robust tire combination with 12.4-24 front tires promoting maneuverability and 18.4-34 rear tires enhancing traction, which is advantageous for heavier field operations. However, the larger rear tires may limit turning radius in tight spaces, presenting challenges in precision farming. Optimal scenarios include plowing and tilling, where the enhanced grip can effectively handle diverse soil conditions.
