ENGINE DETAIL
The UTB/Universal 530 tractor features a robust 3-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 2.7L, providing 53 hp at 2400 RPM and delivering a significant torque of 131 lb-ft at 1400 RPM, advantageous for low-speed applications like plowing and towing. The direct injection fuel system and a high compression ratio of 17:1 enhance fuel efficiency and power output, though it may require higher quality fuel to prevent knocking. While its liquid cooling system can improve engine longevity, the 12V starter system necessitates regular battery maintenance to ensure reliable starts, particularly in colder climates.
