Phoenix Other models

The register lists here 5 versions with 160 to 310 kW, or 210 to 410 hp, and 6 to 12 cylinders.

With over 200 hp and up to twelve cylinders, Phoenix sits well above the usual field-tractor segment and matches heavy pulling machines for special tasks, where the rugged Mercedes-Benz industrial engine technology provides the durability needed under continuous load.

Buying used, on these powerful machines the turbocharger, cooling system and operating-hours history matter most, since Mercedes-Benz industrial engines are durable but costly to maintain; parts for engine and drivetrain run through the industrial-engine trade.

The MB421 to MB424 engine family stems from Mercedes-Benz's V-diesel range for heavy trucks, standby generators and marine propulsion, designed for low speed and high torque rather than high revs – which explains the notably uniform rated speed of 2,100 rpm across all cylinder counts in the register.
