Introduction
AGCO RT180A Row-Crop Tractor
The AGCO RT180A is a row-crop tractor produced between 2009 and 2011 at the manufacturing facility in Beauvais, France. As part of the RT165A series, this machine shares its technical platform with the Massey-Ferguson 6499, offering a high-capacity solution for agricultural operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a SisuDiesel 74CTA, a 7.4-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. It utilizes a turbocharged and intercooled induction system with an electronic common rail fuel injection. The engine is rated at 215 hp (160.3 kW) at 2200 RPM, with a maximum power output reaching 245 hp (182.7 kW). It produces a peak torque of 715.4 lb-ft (970.1 Nm) at 1400 RPM.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Two transmission options were available: a 24-speed partial power shift 'Auto-6' system, which features six power shift gears across four synchromesh ranges and automatic load-matching capabilities, or the 'Powermaxx' continuously variable transmission (CVT) for infinite speed control. The drivetrain is available in either two- or four-wheel drive configurations and includes electro-hydraulic differential locks on both axles.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, pressure flow compensated (PFC) setup, delivering a standard flow of 29 gpm (109.8 lpm) with an optional 39 gpm (147.6 lpm) configuration, operating at a pressure of 2900 psi (200 bar). The rear hitch is a category 3/3N type with electronic position and draft control, capable of lifting up to 15,700 lbs (7,121 kg). An optional front hitch and PTO system are available, with the front lift capacity rated at 8,800 lbs (3,991 kg).
Operator Environment
The tractor features a standard cab designed for operator comfort, with optional upgrades including an Airmaxx pneumatic cab suspension and automatic climate control. Braking is handled by hydraulic wet disc brakes, and steering is power-assisted to improve maneuverability.
Conclusion
With its robust engine, dual transmission options, and significant hydraulic lift capacities, the AGCO RT180A is engineered for heavy-duty row-crop applications. Its combination of electronic control systems and configurable options makes it suitable for diverse agricultural tasks requiring precision and high power output.
