In introducing the new 900 Series engines, Perkins has blended high technology with experience to produce a quality product designed to give clean, quiet, trouble free operation, delivering high performance over a long engine life.
The Perkins 903-27 is an environment and operation friendly, naturally aspirated diesel engine, ideal for tractors and general agricultural applications.
As the protection of our environment moves closer to the top of the international agenda, 900 Series complete with stage 1 off-highway emissions capability now, delivers the benefits expected of a world leading diesel engine manufacturer.

Reliable power

• Perkins's high manufacturing standards and quality procedures are customer approved and internationally recognized to ISO 9000.

• With over 4.5 million 3 cylinder predecessors sold, 900 Series has an excellent pedigree of reliability.  Now a completely new cylinder head and cylinder block with a high efficiency cooling system, stronger structure and total containment of fluids makes this engine the new benchmark of reliability.

Durable Power

• Legendary is how market describes the exceptionally long service life of a Perkins' 3 cylinder engine.  Building upon this reputation, the average 900 Series engine is designed to give at least 10,000 very productive hours before needing a basic overhaul.

Clean and quiet power

• Retaining all the cost and packaging benefits of natural aspiration, the 903-27 is also operator and environmentally protective, meeting stage 1 off-highway emissions legislation proposals today, well in advance of likely implementation dates.

• 900 Series engines have a rigid acoustically tuned structure which has enabled a 50 per cent reduction in noise when compared to their predecessors.  Now, with noise manufacturers and farmers alike, Perkins has provided a cost effective solution for both.

Cost efficient power

• Significantly lowering the cost of operation is a design objective fulfilled, with service intervals for oil and filters doubled to 500 hours, 00 Series brings more cost benefits to the farmer.

• Thanks to Perkins' mastery of air control and Fastram direct injection, clean combustion has not been at the expense of fuel consumption.  900 Series engines will provide up to 10 per cent more power and 10 per cent more torque yet consume 5 per cent less fuel than those of the previous generation.

• The new cylinder block design plus closely matched pistons and ring pack provide exceptionally tight oil control.  This maintains emissions performance and minimises between service oil top up.

Power of technology

• The Perkins' 3.152 has a proud history and although long regarded as the benchmark heavy duty 3 cylinder diesel, it has been completely redesigned.  As the 900 Series, the Perkins' three cylinder engine takes a quantum leap forward ready for the challenge of a new millennium.

• Without resort to pressure charging, 900 Series is ahead of emissions regulations and free of visible smoke--benefits brought about by the power of Perkins' own technology.  Leading edge design tools, skills in air management and combustion chamber design have brought to market truly turbocharged performance, in an engine without the turbocharger.
