Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by the International Harvester D-358, a 5.9-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. It features direct fuel injection and produces a net power output of 105 hp (78.3 kW) at a rated speed of 2300 RPM.

It utilizes a 310mm dry disc clutch, or a cerametallic disc for the power shift version. The drivetrain includes planetary final drives, mechanical rear differential lock, and power steering, with options for either two-wheel or four-wheel drive.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system is an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 42.0 lpm at a pressure of 161.8 bar. The rear Category II hitch is equipped with position and draft control, capable of lifting up to 4159 kg at the ends. The independent rear PTO operates at 540 and 1000 RPM, engaged at engine speeds of 1920 and 2000 RPM respectively.
