RENAULT 55 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Renault 55 is equipped with a 3-cylinder, 2.2 L Alfa engine that delivers 35 hp at a low operating speed of 2,000 RPM, making it efficient for light agricultural tasks. With a maximum torque of 104 lb-ft available at these RPMs, it provides adequate pulling power for implements such as plows and cultivators, offering an advantage in fuel efficiency and reduced wear on the engine. However, its limited power may pose challenges when handling heavier loads or navigating more demanding terrains, necessitating consideration of field conditions before deployment.
