VALMET 605 ENGINE

The Valmet 605 tractor features a 3.3L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering a balance of power and fuel efficiency suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks. The 47.55-gallon (180L) fuel tank capacity provides extended operational time, minimizing downtime for refueling during long hours of work. However, the 3-cylinder configuration may lead to reduced torque compared to multi-cylinder engines, which could impact performance in heavy pulling or demanding applications.
