RENAULT 68-12 RS POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Renault 68-12 RS features a MWM D227-4 diesel engine with a displacement of 3.8L, offering a balance of power (68hp) and efficient torque delivery (169.6 lb-ft at 1500 RPM), making it suitable for mid-range agricultural tasks. Its bore/stroke ratio suggests a focus on torque, which can enhance soil tillage or heavy pulling applications. However, with a rated RPM of 2350, users must ensure proper gear selection to maintain optimal performance without over-revving the engine.
