ENGINE DETAIL

The Dongfeng DF-250, powered by a Y385T 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers a displacement of 1.5L and a robust compression ratio of 22:1, delivering 25 hp at 2400 RPM. Its liquid-cooled system effectively manages operating temperatures, optimizing engine performance and lifespan. While suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks, the relatively low power may limit its ability to handle heavy-duty applications, making it ideal for small farms or as a secondary tractor for specific tasks.

DONGFENG DF-250 ENGINE

The Dongfeng DF-250 tractor features a 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, which offers a balance of power and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks. With a 6.6-gallon (25.0 L) fuel tank, it provides reasonable operational time between refuels, enhancing productivity in the field. However, the smaller engine capacity may limit its performance in heavy-duty applications, so it's best suited for smaller-scale farming operations or light-duty tasks.
