Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4.5-liter, liquid-cooled engine. It delivers 88 hp (65.6 kW) at a rated speed of 2300 RPM, with a peak torque of 250 lb-ft (339.0 Nm) achieved at 1500 RPM. The engine features a 1-3-4-2 firing order and meets Stage II emission standards.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 5820 offers multiple transmission configurations, including the PowrQuad and PowrQuad Plus systems, with or without underdrive. These options provide either 16 forward and reverse gears or 32 forward and reverse gears, allowing for precise speed control. The drivetrain is supported by hydrostatic power steering and wet disc brakes for reliable maneuverability and stopping performance.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a load-sensing, pressure-compensated design with a standard total flow of 14.8 gpm (56.0 lpm), which can be optionally increased to 17.2 gpm (65.1 lpm). Operating at a pressure of 2900 psi (200.0 bar), it supports up to three valves. The rear Category II hitch provides a lift capacity of 8,319 lbs (3773 kg), with an optional front hitch available for additional implement versatility.
PTO and Electrical System
The rear power take-off (PTO) offers 540, 540E, and 1000 RPM speeds to accommodate various implements. An optional front PTO is also available. The electrical system is powered by a 12-volt battery with a 110 AH capacity and is supported by a 90-amp alternator, with higher-capacity options available.
