What type of engine does the 5E Series use?
Power and efficiency walk hand in hand with these utility tractors, and it all starts in the heart of the tractor. In each model offered, you’ll find the John Deere PowerTech turbocharged diesel engine to be the true mastermind.
With features like the automatic regeneration system, you’ll find it easier to maintain than most comparable engines. The engine runs at standard operating speeds for both the 3- and 4-cylinder tractors, and it works hard to reduce noise, vibration, and wear. Sounds like it’s in it for the long-haul.
What is the difference between a 3-cylinder and a 4-cylinder tractor?
Apart from the obvious, the number of cylinders indicates how often power is generated in terms of degree measurements. There are a couple of advantages of both that could help you narrow down your decision. A 3-cylinder engine uses less material and optimizes fuel more efficiently than a 4-cylinder does, however, a 4-cylinder is able to spread out power more effectively and is typically lighter on the pocket.
