SWARAJ 978FE POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Swaraj 978FE tractor features a robust 4-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 4.2 L, delivering 72 hp at 2200 RPM and a peak torque of 189 lb-ft at just 1200 RPM, providing excellent pulling power for heavy-duty applications. Its dual dry air cleaner enhances engine life by minimizing dust intake, making it suitable for diverse agricultural environments. However, consider that the relatively high bore-to-stroke ratio may impact engine smoothness at higher RPMs, which could be a factor for operations requiring prolonged running at increased speeds.

TRANSMISSION
The Swaraj 978FE features a synchromesh transmission system, which allows for smooth gear shifting and reduces the likelihood of grinding, enhancing operator comfort. With 12 forward and reverse gears, this tractor offers superior control over speed and torque allocation for varying agricultural tasks, from plowing to hauling. However, the complexity of the synchromesh design may result in higher maintenance demands compared to simpler transmission systems.
