ENGINE DETAIL
The Iseki TF243 tractor features a 1.5L E3CF-B diesel engine with a compact 3-cylinder design, providing efficient power output of 23.7hp at 2500 RPM. Its relatively high torque at lower RPMs is advantageous for tasks like plowing and tilling, yet the displacement may limit performance in heavy-duty applications. The electric starter system enhances convenience, although reliance on a 12-volt system may necessitate attention to battery maintenance in demanding conditions.
