ENGINE DETAIL

The Foton 224 tractor, equipped with a 2-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine, delivers 21.5 hp at a rated RPM of 2200, suitable for light agricultural tasks. Its compact size, with a displacement of 1.5 L, and oil capacity of 3.7 qts, make it advantageous for small farms with space constraints. However, the limited power output may challenge its ability to handle heavier implements or larger land areas, thus it is ideal for small to medium plots or specialized tasks.

FOTON 224 ENGINE

The Foton 224 tractor is powered by a 1.5L, 2-cylinder diesel engine, offering compact efficiency ideal for small to medium agricultural tasks. The two-cylinder design enhances fuel economy but may generate higher vibration levels compared to multi-cylinder engines, potentially affecting operator comfort during extended use. This tractor is particularly advantageous in tight spaces and for lighter applications, but users should consider its power limitations for heavier-duty operations.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Foton 224 tractor features a 6-speed or optional 8-speed transmission, providing flexibility for various agricultural tasks. The advantage of the additional gear is enhanced torque management and operational efficiency across different terrains. However, the complexity of an 8-speed system may increase maintenance challenges and training requirements for operators.

Description 6-speed/8-speed

TRANSMISSION 1

The Foton 224 tractor features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, which allows for versatile speed control and improved maneuverability in various field conditions. This multi-gear setup enhances operational efficiency for tasks like tilling and hauling, particularly in tight spaces or during obstacle navigation. However, the limited reverse gears may pose challenges during complex maneuvering scenarios, so operators should consider this when planning tasks in confined areas.

Gears 6 forward and 2 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Foton 224 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, providing versatility for varying field conditions and tasks. This configuration allows for efficient speed adjustments, enhancing productivity during tillage, transport, and other operations; however, navigating tight spaces may present challenges due to the limited reverse choices. Overall, its gear ratio optimization supports both power and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for small to medium-sized agricultural applications.

Gears 8 forward and 2 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Foton 224 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD (Manual Front Wheel Drive) chassis, which enhances traction in diverse terrains, making it suitable for agricultural applications in various conditions. Its manual steering may limit ease of use compared to power steering systems, especially in tight maneuvering scenarios, and the drum brakes can be less effective under heavy loads compared to disc brakes. The 6-speed/8-speed transmission options allow for versatile speed selection, providing flexibility for both fieldwork and transport tasks.

FOTON 224 TIRES

The Foton 224 tractor features Ag tires sized 6.00-12 at the front and 8.3-24 at the rear, providing a balance between traction and stability for various agricultural tasks. The front tire size aids in maneuverability, while the rear size enhances load-bearing capability, making it suitable for smaller fields or tight spaces. However, the limited horsepower and smaller tire sizes may challenge performance in heavy-duty applications or when operating on uneven terrains.
