ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey Ferguson 4355 features a Perkins turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering improved power delivery and efficiency thanks to a high compression ratio of 17.3:1, which is ideal for heavy-duty applications. With a displacement of 4.0L and a rated RPM of 2200, it provides robust torque characteristics for demanding tasks such as plowing or hauling. However, the dual paper element air cleaner could require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance in dusty conditions, and the implementation of correct coolant capacity at 18.4 quarts is crucial for maintaining engine temperature and preventing overheating.
