RENAULT 496 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Renault 496 tractor is powered by a MWM D226-4 diesel engine, featuring a displacement of 4.2L and a robust 82hp at 2500 RPM. Its bore and stroke dimensions (4.134x4.724 inches) indicate a well-balanced engine design that promotes torque delivery, enhancing its performance for medium-duty agricultural tasks. While the tractor's power output is sufficient for many applications, potential challenges could arise during heavy load operations at elevated RPMs, which may impact engine longevity.
