ENGINE DETAIL

The Volvo 2204 tractor is equipped with a robust D39T 4-cylinder diesel engine, featuring a displacement of 3.9 liters and delivering 56 hp at 2200 RPM with a peak torque of 160.8 lb-ft at 1400 RPM. The direct injection fuel system enhances fuel efficiency and power delivery, while the 16:1 compression ratio contributes to cold start reliability when paired with the thermostart pre-heating system. Ideal for moderate agricultural tasks, its liquid-cooled engine ensures optimal operating temperatures, but operators should consider the potential challenges of maintenance and fuel availability in remote areas.

VOLVO 2204 ENGINE

The Volvo 2204 tractor is powered by a robust 3.9L 4-cylinder diesel engine, which provides reliable torque for various agricultural tasks. With a substantial fuel tank capacity of 23.2 gallons (87.8 liters), it can operate longer between refuels, maximizing productivity during extended fieldwork. However, the engine's performance may be limited in high-demand scenarios, such as heavy plowing or towing, requiring close attention to load management.

TRANSMISSION

The Volvo 2204 tractor features a synchromesh transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, facilitating smooth gear shifts and improved operational efficiency. The 279.4mm dry disc clutch provides durability and consistent performance under load, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks. However, the complexity of the synchromesh system may require specialized maintenance, and operators should be trained to maximize the benefits of the multi-range gearing.

Type synchromesh
Gears 8 forward and 4 reverse
Clutch 279.4mm dry disc
Description Four gears in two ranges, plus reverse.

MECHANICAL

The Volvo 2204 tractor's 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front Wheel Drive) offers enhanced traction and stability, making it suitable for diverse terrains. Its hydrostatic power steering provides ease of maneuverability, while the hydraulic wet disc brakes ensure effective stopping power, particularly during heavy-duty operations. The 8-speed synchromesh transmission allows for smooth gear transitions, ideal for varying speeds in farming tasks; however, operators should be proficient in gear management to optimize performance.

VOLVO 2204 TIRES

The Volvo 2204 tractor features Ag front tires (11.2-24) and Ag rear tires (13.6-38), providing a balanced traction and stability for various agricultural tasks. The larger rear tire size can enhance pulling power and weight distribution, making it suitable for plowing or heavy towing scenarios. However, the narrower front tire may lead to reduced flotation in soft soil conditions, potentially causing compaction issues.
