Introduction
Renault 951 Agricultural Tractor
The Renault 951 is a four-wheel-drive agricultural tractor produced between 1974 and 1977. Designed for mid-to-large scale farming operations, it combines a robust six-cylinder powertrain with a versatile transmission system.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an MWM D227-6 diesel engine. This 5.7-liter, six-cylinder unit produces a rated power of 95 hp (70.8 kW) at 2350 RPM. It delivers a maximum torque of 246.4 lb-ft (334.1 Nm) at 1500 RPM, providing consistent lugging ability for field operations.
Transmission and Handling
The drivetrain features 12 forward and 12 reverse gears, allowing for precise speed selection during various cultivation tasks. Maneuverability is supported by a hydrostatic power steering system, while braking is managed by dry disc brakes to ensure control in different operating conditions.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system provides a total flow rate of 8.3 gpm (31.4 lpm). The rear three-point hitch is rated for a lift capacity of 6,836 lbs (3100 kg), enabling the use of heavy implements. The rear power take-off (PTO) offers dual speeds of 540 and 1000 RPM, accommodating a wide range of PTO-driven machinery.
