FIAT 400 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Fiat 400 tractor features a robust 3-cylinder, 2.2L diesel engine with a displacement of 136.62 ci, providing a rated power output of 38 hp at 2200 RPM, which is suitable for light to medium-duty agricultural tasks. Its liquid-cooled system enhances engine longevity and reliability during prolonged operations, while the 12-volt starter ensures consistent starting performance in various conditions. However, with a relatively low power rating, it may struggle with more demanding applications, making it ideal for small farm operations or lighter implements rather than heavy-duty tasks.
