DEUTZ-FAHR DX 85 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Deutz-Fahr DX 85 is powered by a robust Deutz F5L 912 diesel engine, providing 80 hp at a rated RPM of 2300, ideal for moderate agricultural operations requiring consistent power output. Its 5-cylinder air-cooled design ensures efficient thermal management, reducing the risk of overheating during prolonged use, though air cooling may limit efficiency in extreme cold climates. The 4.7L displacement coupled with the 3.94x4.72-inch bore/stroke ratio contributes to a good balance of torque and power for plowing, tilling, or hauling tasks commonly found in small to medium-sized farms.

DEUTZ-FAHR DX 85 ENGINE
The Deutz-Fahr DX 85 features a powerful 4.7L 5-cylinder diesel engine, which provides ample torque for field operations, enhancing productivity during heavy-duty tasks. Its substantial 31.7-gallon (120 liters) fuel tank minimizes downtime by extending operation between refuels, making it ideal for lengthy agricultural assignments. However, the relatively larger engine may result in increased maintenance requirements and fuel consumption compared to smaller models, necessitating careful operational planning.
