ENGINE DETAIL

The East Wind DF254 tractor features a Y385T 3-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 1.5 L and a compression ratio of 22:1, delivering 24 hp at a rated RPM of 2400, advantageous for small to medium agricultural tasks. Its compact design (bore/stroke of 85 x 90 mm) enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, while the moderate oil (6.34 qts) and coolant (10.6 qts) capacities suggest easier maintenance intervals. However, the relatively low horsepower may limit performance for heavy-duty applications, so it's best suited for lighter fieldwork or gardening scenarios.

EAST WIND DF254 ENGINE

The East Wind DF254 tractor features a compact 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, which enhances fuel efficiency while providing adequate torque for light to moderate agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 6.6 gallons (25.0 liters), it offers decent operational range, though frequent refueling may be necessary for extended use. Suitable for small farms or gardens, its size and power may limit performance in larger, heavy-duty applications.

TRANSMISSION 1

The East Wind DF254 tractor features an 8-speed transmission with both forward and reverse gears, providing flexibility for various agricultural tasks and maneuverability in tight spaces. The availability of multiple gear ratios can enhance power and efficiency for different operational requirements, but may require more skill to shift effectively for optimal torque management. Ideal scenarios include field tilling or driving on inclines, where precise gear selection is critical for maintaining traction and reducing engine strain.

Gears 8 forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The East Wind DF254 tractor features an 8 forward and 2 reverse gear configuration, providing versatility in various agricultural tasks. Its 4/1 transmission system enhances operational efficiency through high and low ranges, allowing for tailored power application depending on the load and terrain. However, with an oil capacity of 21.1 quarts (20.0 L), regular maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the transmission system.

MECHANICAL

The East Wind DF254 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD configuration, offering enhanced traction and stability on uneven terrain, which is ideal for agricultural tasks in challenging environments. The hydraulic power steering system provides improved maneuverability and reduces operator fatigue during prolonged use. However, while the 8-speed transmission allows for versatile speed options, it may require more skill to operate effectively in varying field conditions.

EAST WIND DF254 TIRES

The East Wind DF254 tractor features versatile tire options, allowing for specialized applications in agricultural and turf operations. The ag front tires (6.00-12) and rear tires (8.3-24 or 9.5-24) provide enhanced traction and stability for fieldwork, while the lawn/turf configuration (8.5x12 front and 14x17.5 rear) minimizes soil compaction, making it ideal for landscaping and maintenance. A key consideration is the need to switch tire configurations depending on operational requirements, which may involve challenges in storage and maintenance of different tire sets.
