ENGINE DETAIL

The Massey Ferguson 1235 features an Iseki E3CD diesel engine with a compact 1.5L displacement, generating 32hp and 71.6 lb-ft of torque at 1800 RPM, which provides adequate power for light to moderate farming tasks. Its indirect fuel injection system contributes to smoother operation, while the 21.8:1 compression ratio ensures efficient combustion but may require high-quality diesel to maintain performance. The dry air cleaner and glow plug pre-heating enhance reliability in colder climates, yet a limited coolant capacity of 7.5 quarts may demand closer attention to cooling needs during prolonged operations.
