MERLIN TDX75 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Merlin TDX75 tractor is powered by a Perkins 1004-4TR turbo diesel engine, offering a robust 75 hp at a rated RPM of 2400, which is well-suited for medium-duty agricultural tasks. With a torque of 221.3 lb-ft at a favorable 300.1 Nm, it provides substantial low-end power for plowing and towing operations. However, its displacement of 4.0 L and bore/stroke ratio indicate a lower RPM torque curve, which may limit high-speed performance in more demanding applications.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Merlin TDX75 tractor features an 8-speed or optional 16-speed transmission, providing flexibility for varying field conditions and operational tasks. The 16-speed option enhances torque management and fuel efficiency, facilitating smoother transitions between speeds for optimal implement control. However, the complexity of additional gears may lead to increased maintenance challenges and a steeper learning curve for operators unfamiliar with advanced transmission systems.
