MASSEY-HARRIS 201 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey-Harris 201 is equipped with a Chrysler gasoline 6-cylinder engine, featuring a 4.0L displacement that offers a balance between power and efficiency. Its long stroke of 4.50 inches potentially enhances torque output, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications such as plowing or hauling. However, the relatively moderate rated RPM of 1700-2000 may limit its speed capabilities compared to other models, impacting performance-specific tasks that require higher revolutions.
