ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey-Harris No. 3 features a Waukesha DU-10A 4-cylinder engine with a robust displacement of 398 ci (6.5L), offering substantial torque for agricultural applications. Its bore and stroke configuration (4.50x6.25 inches) enables efficient power delivery at lower RPMs (1000), leading to increased fuel efficiency and reduced wear on engine components. However, limited RPMs may restrict operating speed under heavy load, necessitating appropriate gearing for optimal performance in varied field conditions.
