ENGINE DETAIL

The Renault 681S tractor is powered by a reliable MWM D227-4 diesel engine, delivering a moderate 68 hp with a torque peak of 169.6 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, which makes it suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks. With a bore/stroke of 3.875 x 4.724 inches and a high compression ratio of 17.8:1, this engine offers efficiency and durability, although it may demand higher quality diesel to optimize performance. The 12-volt starter system is conventional, ensuring easy ignition, but be aware of potential challenges in cold weather starting due to the engine's relatively high compression.
