The tractor is powered by a 7.5 L (456 ci) New Holland Genesis 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It features liquid cooling, electronic fuel injection, and a compression ratio of 17.5:1. The engine produces 225 hp (167.8 kW) at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. Air intake is managed by a dual paper element filter system.

The hydraulic system is a closed-center load-sensing type, providing a standard total flow of 30 gpm (113.6 lpm), with an optional HydraFlow upgrade increasing output to 55 gpm (208.2 lpm). It operates at 2900 psi (200.0 bar) and supports 3 or 4 valves. The rear hitch is a Category III system equipped with electronic draft sensing, capable of lifting 12,500 lbs (5,670 kg).
