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.

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.
