JOHN DEERE 5215 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The John Deere 5215 features a turbocharged 3-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2.9L, producing 56hp at 2300 RPM and notable peak torque of 164.5 lb-ft at 1600 RPM, providing substantial low-end power for various field operations. The 17.2:1 compression ratio enhances fuel efficiency and engine performance, while the compact design supports versatility in tight spaces. A cooling system with a 10qt capacity (or 11qt with cab) ensures optimal thermal management, essential for sustained heavy-duty tasks; however, regular maintenance of valve clearances (0.014in for intake and 0.018in for exhaust) will be crucial to maintain performance and longevity.
