Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this machine combines heavy-duty mechanical components with advanced powertrain technology to handle demanding field tasks.
Engine and Emissions
The tractor is powered by an 8.7-liter (531 ci) FPT 6-cylinder, 24-valve turbocharged diesel engine. It features liquid cooling and utilizes Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology to meet Tier 4A emission standards. The engine is rated at 284 hp (211.8 kW) at 2000 RPM, with a maximum power output of 317 hp (236.4 kW).

All models are equipped with a four-wheel-drive system and power steering.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a pressure-flow compensating design with a standard total flow of 44 gpm (166.5 lpm), which can be upgraded to an optional 75 gpm (283.9 lpm). The rear hitch is a 3/3N category system with a maximum rear lift capacity of up to 19,400 lbs (8,799 kg) depending on the link configuration.
