A Heart of Power: The Renault 591 Alfa Engine

Under the hood, the Renault 385 boasts the formidable Renault 591 Alfa engine. This 4-cylinder powerhouse delivers a solid 55 horsepower [41.0 kW], stemming from its 3.0 L displacement.

The transmission is equally impressive, featuring 10 forward and 2 reverse gears, allowing you to perfectly match your speed to the task at hand, whether plowing fields or transporting goods.

Hydraulic Might and Lifting Capability

This tractor is a true workhorse thanks to its robust hydraulic system, providing a total flow of 7.1 gpm [26.9 lpm]. This ample hydraulic power, combined with a rear lift capacity of 3528 lbs [1600 kg], means the Renault 385 can effortlessly handle a wide array of implements, from loaders to plows, making it an indispensable asset on any farm.

Built to Last: Dimensions and Drivetrain

The Renault 385 stands firm with its sturdy construction. Its two-wheel drive configuration ensures efficient power delivery, while the dimensions speak to its stability: a wheelbase of 87.4 inches [221 cm], a length of 151.2 inches [384 cm], and a height of 74.8 inches [189 cm]. Weighing in at 6,092 lbs [2763 kg] and equipped with agricultural tires (6.50-20 front, 14.9-28 rear), it's built for traction and longevity in the field.
