ENGINE DETAIL
The TAFE 45 tractor features a robust 3-cylinder Simpson diesel engine with a displacement of 152 ci (2.5 L), ensuring efficient torque delivery for various agricultural tasks. Its liquid-cooling system provides consistent engine performance and helps prevent overheating during extended operations. However, the 3-cylinder configuration may result in higher vibrations compared to 4-cylinder models, potentially affecting operator comfort and long-duration use.
