ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Oliver 880 tractor is equipped with either a Waukesha-Oliver 4.3L 6-cylinder gasoline engine or a diesel variant, providing versatile fuel options for different operational needs. The gasoline engine offers higher RPM and smoother operation, ideal for lighter tasks, while the diesel engine delivers better torque at lower RPMs, making it suitable for heavier agricultural applications. Key considerations include fuel efficiency and maintenance requirements, as diesel engines typically have higher initial costs but lower operational costs compared to gasoline engines.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Oliver 880 tractor, equipped with a Waukesha-Oliver 6-cylinder diesel engine, offers efficient power delivery due to its 265.1 ci (4.3L) displacement and a compression ratio of 16:1, making it suitable for demanding agricultural tasks. With a bore/stroke ratio of 3.75x4.00 inches, it emphasizes torque production at lower RPMs, beneficial for pulling heavy loads. However, the oil bath air cleaner may require more maintenance compared to dry filter systems, posing a challenge for operators prioritizing convenience.
