RENAULT 489 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Renault 489 tractor is powered by the MWM D226-3, a 3-cylinder, 3.1L diesel engine producing 60hp, which enables efficient performance for mid-range agricultural tasks. Its bore and stroke specifications (4.134x4.724 inches) indicate a well-balanced design that can provide a good torque curve at the rated RPM of 2500, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. However, potential challenges include a narrower power band due to the limited RPM, meaning optimal performance may be constrained to a specific operational range, which could affect versatility.

RENAULT 489 ENGINE
The Renault 489 is powered by a MWM 3.1L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of power and fuel efficiency suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks. With an 18.5-gallon (70.0L) fuel tank, it offers extended operational capacity, reducing downtime during fieldwork. However, the relatively smaller engine displacement may limit high-torque applications, making it less ideal for heavy tillage scenarios compared to larger models.

TRANSMISSION
The Renault 489 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, providing versatile gearing options for various tasks, from plowing to transport. This configuration allows for optimal torque management and efficient fuel consumption, especially useful in diverse agricultural scenarios. However, the limited reverse gearing may pose challenges in tight maneuvering situations, necessitating careful planning while operating in confined spaces.

MECHANICAL
The Renault 489 features a 4x4 MFWD configuration, providing superior traction in diverse terrains, making it suitable for both agricultural and off-road applications. Its hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, especially in tight spaces, while the 8-speed transmission allows for optimized speed control across implements. However, the dry disc brakes may require regular maintenance compared to wet braking systems, potentially impacting long-term operational costs.

RENAULT 489 TIRES
The Renault 489 tractor features a front tire size of 9.3-24 and a rear tire size of 16.9-28, which provides a balanced ground pressure and stability in various soil conditions. The larger rear tires enhance traction and improve pulling capabilities, making it suitable for plowing and heavy-duty field operations. A potential challenge may arise in tight maneuverability due to the overall footprint, which should be considered for small-scale farms or orchards.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Renault 489 tractor has a wheelbase of 81.5 inches (207 cm), which offers a balance between stability and maneuverability, making it suitable for both fieldwork and tighter spaces. Weighing 6,119 lbs (2,775 kg) provides solid traction yet may limit mobility on softer terrains. The front and rear tire sizes (9.3-24 and 16.9-28) enhance load-bearing capacity and assist with depth in plowing, though narrower front tires can lead to reduced flotation in wet conditions.
