ENGINE DETAIL
The Renault 55-14 LB tractor features a Deutz F3 L 912 engine, known for its durability and efficient air-cooling system, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks. With a moderate power output of 51 hp at 2350 RPM and a torque peak of 130.5 lb-ft at 1600 RPM, it provides adequate performance for tasks like tilling and hauling. However, its displacement of 2.8 L may limit fuel efficiency and torque under heavier loads compared to higher-displacement engines; thus, optimizing load management is essential for maximizing its capabilities.
