Introduction

AGCO RT165A Row-Crop Tractor

The AGCO RT165A is a row-crop tractor produced between 2007 and 2011. Manufactured in Beauvais, France, this model is part of the AGCO RT series and shares its platform with the Massey Ferguson 6497, positioning it as a versatile machine for demanding agricultural operations.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 7.4-liter SisuDiesel 74CTA, a 6-cylinder, 24-valve liquid-cooled engine. It utilizes an electronic common rail fuel injection system and a turbocharger with an intercooler to reach a maximum power of 230 hp (171.5 kW), with a rated power of 200 hp (149.1 kW) at 2200 RPM. The engine produces 684.5 lb-ft (928.2 Nm) of torque at 1400 RPM.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Two transmission options were available: the Auto-6, a 24-speed partial power shift transmission with automatic load-matching capabilities, and the Powermaxx CVT, which offers infinite forward and reverse speeds. The tractor features a four-wheel-drive configuration, power steering, and electro-hydraulic differential locks on both the front and rear axles for improved traction.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center pressure flow compensated (PFC) design, providing a total flow of 29 gpm (109.8 lpm) at 2900 psi. It supports 3 to 5 valves. The rear hitch is a Category 3/3N type with electronic position and lower-link draft control, offering a lift capacity of 15,700 lbs (7121 kg). An optional front hitch with an 8,800 lbs (3991 kg) capacity is also available.

PTO and Operator Environment

The rear PTO is independent and offers three speeds: 540, 540E, and 1000 RPM. An optional 1000 RPM front PTO can be equipped for additional implement versatility. The standard cab can be upgraded with optional Airmaxx pneumatic suspension and automatic climate control to enhance operator comfort during extended work periods.

Conclusion

The AGCO RT165A is a robust, high-capacity tractor engineered for heavy-duty row-crop applications. With its combination of SisuDiesel power, multiple transmission configurations, and significant hydraulic lift capabilities, it remains a reliable choice for professional agricultural tasks requiring efficiency and durability.
