FORD 3055 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Ford 3055 tractor is powered by a robust 3-cylinder diesel engine with a relatively modest displacement of 183ci (3.0L), producing 55hp at a rated RPM of 2200, suitable for mid-range agricultural tasks. Its direct injection fuel system enhances efficiency and provides better fuel atomization, which can lead to improved performance under load. While the oil capacity of 8 quarts (7.6L) is standard for tractors in this class, optimal coolant capacity (14 quarts) ensures effective thermal management, making it suitable for extended operation in varying conditions.
