Engine 55hp / 41.0kW

ENGINE DETAIL

The Dongfeng DF-554 tractor features a robust LR4105T diesel engine with a compression ratio of 17:1, providing 55 hp at a rated RPM of 2300, which is ideal for efficient agricultural tasks. Its liquid-cooled system, coupled with a displacement of 4.3L, enhances performance longevity, but the relatively high oil and coolant capacities (12.68 qts and 7.9 qts) necessitate regular maintenance and monitoring. This tractor is well-suited for medium-scale farming applications, though potential challenges may arise in fuel efficiency under heavier loads.
