DONGFENG DF-304 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Dongfeng DF-304 features a ZN390T diesel engine with a displacement of 1.8 L, offering 30 hp at 2500 RPM, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks. Its 3-cylinder configuration and liquid-cooling system enhance fuel efficiency and engine longevity under moderate workloads; however, it may struggle with heavy-duty applications. Optimal for small to medium farms, it provides a balance of power and low operating costs, but may lack the torque needed for tougher terrains.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Dongfeng DF-304 features a 1.8 L, 3-cylinder diesel engine with a high compression ratio of 22:1, promoting better fuel efficiency and torque output, particularly at its rated RPM of 2400. The liquid-cooled system ensures optimal operating temperatures, although the relatively low oil capacity of 4.76 qts may necessitate more frequent maintenance checks in heavy-duty applications. This tractor is well-suited for small to medium agricultural tasks, balancing power and efficiency but may struggle with sustained heavy loads due to its modest displacement.
