Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4.5-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine from FPT. It utilizes a common rail fuel system and meets Stage IV emission standards through a combination of Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). The engine delivers a rated power of 135 hp (100.7 kW) at 2200 RPM, with a maximum gross power of 140 hp (104.4 kW) and a peak torque of 570.1 Nm at 1400 RPM.

The Arion 460 is equipped with the Quadrishift transmission, providing 16 forward and 16 reverse gears. This system features four power shift gears across four hydraulically shifted ranges, managed by a power shuttle. An optional Quadractiv automatic shifting system is available to assist the operator. The drivetrain includes a standard four-wheel drive system and an electro-hydraulic differential lock to ensure traction in varied field conditions.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is of the open-center type, delivering a pump flow of 15.85 gpm (60.0 lpm) at a pressure of 2756 psi. Optional configurations include a load-sensing system providing up to 29.1 gpm (110.1 lpm). The rear PTO is independent, offering speeds of 540/540E/1000, while an optional independent front PTO provides 1000 RPM. A wet disc clutch is utilized for smooth engagement.
Hitch and Capacity
The tractor is fitted with a Category III rear hitch, capable of lifting up to 9,259 lbs (4,199 kg) at the ends. The optional front hitch provides a lift capacity of 6,173 lbs (2,800 kg). With a wheelbase of 99.4 inches and an operating weight of 11,240 lbs, the machine is designed to handle a variety of heavy implements while maintaining stability.
