The Dongfeng DF-254 is a compact agricultural tractor manufactured in Changzhou, Jiangsu, China. Designed for versatility in small-to-medium scale farming operations, this four-wheel-drive machine provides a balance of maneuverability and mechanical utility.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Y380T 3-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. With a displacement of 83.9 cubic inches (1.4 L) and a rated engine speed of 2400 RPM, it produces 20 horsepower (14.9 kW).
