ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey Ferguson 8170 is powered by a Valmet turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel engine with a substantial displacement of 8.4L, providing robust power output for various agricultural applications. Its dual paper air cleaner enhances engine longevity by effectively managing particulate intake, while a high compression ratio of 16.5:1 allows for efficient fuel combustion, optimizing performance at a rated RPM of 2200. However, the relatively large coolant capacity of 30.3L necessitates careful monitoring to prevent overheating during prolonged operation, particularly in high-load farming scenarios.
