ENGINE DETAIL

The Deutz D 4506 is powered by a robust F3L 912 air-cooled diesel engine, providing 40 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque at 1660 RPM, ideal for applications requiring moderate power in off-road scenarios. Its 2.8 L displacement and torsional characteristics favor fuel efficiency and lower emissions, although air cooling may yield limitations in extremely hot conditions. With a compact design, this tractor excels in smaller fields and tight spaces but may struggle in high-load situations due to its relatively low power output.
