ENGINE DETAIL
The Kioti DK65’s Perkins 903.27T engine provides a robust 64.4hp at 2250 RPM, making it suitable for medium-duty tasks like plowing, hauling, and mowing. The turbocharged 3-cylinder layout offers efficient power delivery and reduced emissions, but the lower displacement may limit its torque under heavy load conditions. Overall, this tractor is advantageous for operations requiring a balance between power and fuel efficiency, though it may face challenges in demanding tasks compared to higher torque engines.
