Introduction

AGCO DT180 Row-Crop Tractor

The AGCO DT180 is a heavy-duty row-crop tractor manufactured in Beauvais, France, between 2002 and 2004. Designed for demanding agricultural applications, this machine combines a high-torque engine with a robust chassis to provide consistent performance in field operations.

Engine and Powertrain

The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder, 8.3-liter Cummins C8.3L turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine. It delivers 215 hp at a rated speed of 2200 RPM, with a peak torque of 633 lb-ft (858.3 Nm) reached at 1300 RPM. The engine cooling system is liquid-cooled, and the intake air is filtered through a two-element paper filter system.

Transmission and Drive

Equipped with a full power shift transmission, the DT180 offers 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, allowing for seamless gear changes under load. The drivetrain includes an electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch and four-wheel drive as standard, providing traction across varied terrain. Stopping power is managed by hydraulic wet disc brakes.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center pressure flow compensated (PFC) design, which adjusts output based on demand. It features a primary pump flow of 29 gpm (109.8 lpm), with an optional capacity of up to 39 gpm (147.6 lpm), operating at a system pressure of 2900 psi. Four valves are provided for implement control. The rear hitch is a category 3/3N configuration with a lift capacity of 18,000 lbs (8164 kg) measured at 24 inches behind the hitch point.

Dimensions and Operator Environment

The DT180 features a 121-inch wheelbase and a shipping weight of 18,500 lbs (8391 kg). The machine is equipped with a standard factory cab and power steering to reduce operator fatigue during long work cycles. The electrical system operates on 12 volts with a negative ground and an alternator-based charging system.

Conclusion

With its significant lift capacity, high-torque engine, and power shift transmission, the AGCO DT180 is engineered for professional-grade row-crop farming. Its stable weight distribution and precise hydraulic control make it suitable for intensive tillage and heavy draft tasks.
