INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER DF-25 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The International Harvester DF-25 tractor features a robust 2.0L diesel engine with a high compression ratio of 19:1, delivering 25hp at a rated RPM of 1800, which enhances fuel efficiency and torque at lower speeds for optimal performance in agricultural tasks. Its liquid-cooled system, with a coolant capacity of 16.4qts, ensures efficient temperature management, critical for prolonged operations. However, the relatively low horsepower may limit its usage for very large-scale operations, making it ideal for small to medium farms or specific applications like vineyard maintenance or smaller plot cultivation.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER DF-25 ENGINE
The International Harvester DF-25 features a compact 2.0L 4-cylinder diesel engine, enabling efficient fuel consumption and torque output suitable for light agricultural tasks. With an 11.4-gallon (43.1L) fuel tank, the tractor provides decent operational range for extended fieldwork, though its size may limit long-duration tasks without refueling. Key advantages include better fuel efficiency and lower emissions typical of diesel engines, but potential challenges include higher maintenance costs associated with diesel components.

TRANSMISSION
The International Harvester DF-25 features a straightforward gear transmission with 4 forward and 1 reverse gear, offering basic operational flexibility suitable for light agricultural tasks. The limited gear range may challenge performance in varied terrain, as it lacks advanced speed options for more efficient fieldwork. Ideal for small farms or gardens, the DF-25 is best suited for users needing reliable, uncomplicated operation without the complexity of modern multi-speed transmissions.

MECHANICAL
The International Harvester DF-25 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides adequate traction for light to medium-duty agricultural tasks but limits off-road capabilities compared to 4WD alternatives. The open operator station enhances operator visibility and comfort in moderate climates, although it exposes the operator to the elements. The 4-speed gear transmission offers versatility in speed control, yet may lack the fine-tuning required for extremely varied farming conditions.
