ENGINE DETAIL

The Foton 704 tractor features a robust LRC4105T70 diesel engine with a displacement of 4.3L, delivering 69.1hp at a rated RPM of 2200, which is optimal for moderate agricultural tasks. With a torque rating of 189.6 lb-ft at 1400 RPM, it provides significant pulling power, making it suitable for heavy implement work. However, the relatively high compression ratio of 17:1 may require higher-grade fuel, and the oil and coolant capacities should be monitored to ensure engine longevity and performance.

FOTON 704 ENGINE

The Foton 704 features a 4.3L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering a balance of power and fuel efficiency suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks. An advantage of this engine size is its torque delivery at low RPMs, enhancing its capability for plowing and towing. However, operators should be mindful of maintenance requirements, as higher cubic capacity can sometimes lead to increased wear if not properly serviced.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Foton 704 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gearbox, allowing for versatile speed control and efficient power management in various field conditions. This gear configuration is advantageous for maximizing torque during tasks requiring power, such as tilling and plowing, while the reverse gear enhances maneuverability in tight spaces. However, the relatively limited gear options may challenge fine speed adjustments during operations requiring precise control.

Gears 8 forward and 2 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Foton 704 tractor features an 8 forward and 4 reverse gear configuration, providing versatile speed options suitable for various agricultural tasks. The advantage of having multiple gears allows for better maneuverability and precise control in different field conditions, enhancing productivity. However, operators may need to familiarize themselves with the gear pattern for optimal performance, particularly in tight spaces or when reversing.

Gears 8 forward and 4 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Foton 704 features a 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction and maneuverability, particularly in challenging terrain. Its power steering improves handling and reduces operator fatigue, while the 8-speed transmission allows for efficient speed adjustments across various applications. However, the reliance on disc brakes may require more frequent maintenance compared to drum brakes, especially in heavy-duty operations.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Foton 704 tractor features a relatively short wheelbase of 87.2 inches, which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces but may reduce stability during high-speed operations. Weighing 7,617 lbs, it offers a solid base for handling heavier implements, although this weight may limit transportability across certain terrains. The tire sizes (front: 8.30-24 and rear: 16.9-28) suggest a capability for improved traction and flotation, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks, particularly in softer soils.
