Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by a 7.5-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled inline engine. It generates 170 hp (126.8 kW) at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. The engine features a 17.5:1 compression ratio and uses a 1-5-3-6-2-4 firing order. Maintenance requirements include specific cold valve clearances of 0.356 mm for intake and 0.432 mm for exhaust valves.

The drivetrain supports two- or four-wheel drive operation.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is a closed-center load-sensing type with a system capacity of 117 liters and an operating pressure of 189.6 bar. Standard pump flow is 90.8 lpm, with an optional MegaFlow system increasing total output to 208.2 lpm. The rear PTO is independent, featuring electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch engagement, and offers both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds.
