Dongfeng – other models: the collective page of Chinese tractors outside the named ranges, from the DF-200 to the DF-904, 15 to 66 kW, YTO and Changchai diesel engines

This page gathers the Dongfeng tractors the register could not assign to a named range – from the DF-200, DF-250 and DF-300 through the DF-354 and its DF-354G2 and DF-354a (Dragon) versions to the DF-500C, DF-554, DF-654, DF-804 and DF-904. Dongfeng is a Chinese state-owned group headquartered in Wuhan with a large farm-equipment division that uses the Dong Feng brand for tractors alongside commercial vehicles and engines. The type number roughly tracks the power class in hp, as the register's span of 20 to 90 hp against the DF-200 and DF-904 designations shows. The tractors are powered by diesel engines from the Chinese makers YTO and Changchai.

The register lists here 14 versions with 15 to 66 kW (20 to 90 hp) from three- and four-cylinders, all with diesel engines.

Dongfeng is among the large Chinese tractor makers for the home market and for export to developing countries in Asia and Africa, where simple engineering, low purchase price and rugged construction weigh more than against western brands. The Dongfeng group is also one of China's largest makers of commercial vehicles and drivetrain components, which eases the parts supply for this product line.

On used examples, the condition of the clutch and mechanical gearbox, the tightness of the YTO or Changchai diesel engine, rust on bodywork and mudguards, and the availability of parts outside China count; parts run through importers and independent farm-machinery dealers.
