ENGINE DETAIL
The Foton 304 tractor is equipped with a TY395T diesel engine, providing a robust 29.6hp at 2200 RPM, and a torque of 78.2 lb-ft at 1725 RPM, making it suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks. With a compression ratio of 18:1, it offers efficient fuel combustion, but users should ensure appropriate maintenance given the relatively small oil (7.4 quarts) and coolant (8.9 quarts) capacities, which could lead to overheating or oil degradation if not monitored. Overall, its compact size and power deliver an excellent balance for small-scale operations such as row crop farming or garden tilling, though limited power may pose a challenge for heavier farming applications.
