The tractor is powered by a 6.9-liter, 6-cylinder, 24-valve turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine. It provides a rated net power of 180 hp (134.2 kW) and a maximum net power of 198 hp (147.6 kW) at 2150 RPM. The engine generates 608.5 lb-ft (825.1 Nm) of torque at 1400 RPM, providing consistent lugging ability for demanding field tasks.
