Introduction
Big Bud KT360: Technical Specifications and Overview
The Big Bud KT360 is a heavy-duty four-wheel drive tractor introduced in 1977. Designed for high-acreage agricultural operations, this machine represents the specialized engineering typical of large-scale American equipment during the late 1970s.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder Cummins diesel engine with a displacement of 855 cubic inches (14.0 liters). It utilizes liquid cooling to maintain thermal stability during heavy-load operations. The engine produces a rated power of 360 hp (268.5 kW), with a bore and stroke configuration of 5.50 by 6.00 inches.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The KT360 features a 4x4 four-wheel drive system, providing traction necessary for heavy tillage and pulling implements. The transmission provides 12 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, allowing the operator to select the appropriate speed for specific field conditions.
Weight and Construction
Built for high-draft applications, the tractor has a substantial operating weight of 39,500 lbs (17,917 kg). This weight is critical for transferring engine power to the ground effectively, minimizing slippage during intensive cultivation tasks.
Conclusion
The Big Bud KT360 is a specialized machine engineered for heavy-duty agricultural traction. Its combination of high engine output, 4WD capability, and significant ballast makes it suited for large-scale soil preparation and heavy implement operation.
