ENGINE DETAIL
The Hinomoto C174 is powered by a Toyosha CS100 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering a compact 20 hp at 2500 RPM, which makes it suitable for light agricultural tasks and small-scale operations. Its torque characteristics, peaking at 40.5 lb-ft at 1800 RPM, suggest strong pulling capabilities for tilling and plowing, but it may struggle under heavier loads compared to higher-horsepower tractors. Maintenance considerations include a modest oil capacity of 2.3 quarts and coolant capacity of 3.2 quarts, which can lead to more frequent servicing intervals, particularly for high-utilization scenarios.

HINOMOTO C174 ENGINE
The Hinomoto C174, powered by a Toyosha 1.0L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers a balance of power and fuel efficiency suitable for small to medium agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 3.7 gallons (14.0 liters), it allows for extended operating time before refueling, making it advantageous for longer fieldwork. However, the relatively small engine size may limit its performance in heavy-duty applications or on steep terrains, necessitating careful consideration of operational scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The Hinomoto C174 features a synchronized transmission with 9 forward and 3 reverse gears, allowing for smooth shifting and improved efficiency during operation. Its dry disc clutch enhances durability and reduces maintenance needs but may require more effort during engagement compared to wet clutches. With an oil capacity of 18 quarts (17.0 L), it supports adequate lubrication for optimal performance, but ensure regular oil checks to prevent overheating or wear.

MECHANICAL
The Hinomoto C174's 4x4 MFWD drivetrain provides enhanced traction in varied terrain, making it suitable for both agricultural and utility tasks. Its 9-speed synchronized transmission allows for smooth gear transitions, optimizing power delivery for different workloads, although the manual steering may require more operator effort, especially in tight turns. The open operator station enhances visibility and maneuverability, but may expose the operator to environmental elements, necessitating proper gear for comfort.
