FAHR D12 POWER

Engine 12 hp/8.9 kW

ENGINE DETAIL

The Fahr D12 tractor features a Guldner 1DA single-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with a modest displacement of 0.8 L, producing 12 hp (8.9 kW). This power output makes it suitable for light agricultural tasks or small-scale operations where maneuverability is advantageous. However, potential challenges include limited power for heavy implements and slower operational speeds, making it less ideal for larger farming activities or intensive applications.

FAHR D12 ENGINE

The Fahr D12 tractor is powered by a Guldner 0.8L single-cylinder diesel engine, offering a compact powertrain suitable for small-scale farming tasks. Its minimal engine displacement can result in lower fuel consumption and operational costs, but may limit power output under heavy loads. Ideal for small plots or specialized tasks, the D12 excels in maneuverability but may face challenges in terms of power and speed compared to larger tractors.

TRANSMISSION

The Fahr D12 features a ZF A8B gear transmission with 5 forward speeds and 1 reverse, allowing for versatile operation and adequate speed control in various field conditions. A gear-type transmission provides direct power transfer and typically results in better durability compared to hydrostatic systems but may require more skill to operate efficiently. It's particularly advantageous in applications needing consistent power output, like plowing or heavy towing, although the limited reverse capability could hinder maneuverability in tight spaces.

MECHANICAL

The Fahr D12 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which offers lower initial costs and simplicity in design, but may limit traction and stability on uneven terrain. The manual steering can provide direct feedback, but requires more effort and skill from the operator, particularly in tight maneuvers. With a 5-speed transmission, the tractor allows for a reasonable range of speeds, making it suitable for general field tasks, though the lack of advanced features may hinder efficiency in larger, more demanding agricultural operations.
