ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Steyr M 9078 tractor is powered by a MWM WD 401.81 turbo diesel engine, offering a good combination of power at 78 hp and decent torque at 220 lb-ft, making it suitable for various agricultural applications. With a displacement of 4.2L and a rated RPM of 2300, it operates efficiently within its power band, though the torque peak at 1500 RPM suggests optimal performance during low to mid-range tasks. A potential challenge may arise when operating at higher RPMs, as it may lead to increased fuel consumption and wear if not managed properly.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Steyr M 9078 is powered by a Sisu 420.81 turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 4.4L, providing 78 hp and a peak torque of 225 lb-ft at 1300 RPM, which enables strong low-end performance suitable for heavy draft work. The bore and stroke dimensions (4.25 x 4.72 inches) suggest a balance of power delivery and efficiency, but may lead to higher wear rates in demanding applications. While its rated RPM of 2300 allows for decent operational speed, operators should consider the torque curve for optimal performance during varied load conditions to avoid potential strain on drivetrain components.
