Unleash Agricultural Power: The Versatile 985 Tractor

Step into the field with the 985 tractor, a robust and reliable machine engineered to tackle a wide array of agricultural demands. This powerhouse, part of the respected 885 and 985 4x4 series, combines formidable strength with intelligent design for peak performance.

Heart of the Machine: The MWM TD229 Engine

At its core, the 985 boasts a formidable MWM TD229 engine. This 4-cylinder, turbocharged diesel powerhouse, cooled by liquid, displaces 239.3 cubic inches (3.9 L) and delivers a commanding presence. With a rated RPM of 2300 and generating a substantial 274 lb-ft (371.5 Nm) of torque at 1500 RPM, it's built to conquer demanding tasks with unwavering resolve.

Seamless Power Delivery: Transmission and PTO

Experience fluid control with the 985's synchronized transmission, featuring a versatile 8 forward and 4 reverse gear configuration. This setup, coupled with a planetary final drive, ensures smooth power transfer and precise maneuverability across any terrain. The independent 540 RPM rear PTO is ready to engage with a variety of implements, boosting your operational efficiency.

Hydraulic Prowess for Demanding Implements

The open center hydraulic system is engineered for serious work, providing a pump flow of 13.7 GPM (51.9 lpm) and operating at a robust 2560 psi (176.5 bar). With 2 valves available, the 985 is well-equipped to handle a wide range of hydraulic-dependent implements, ensuring you have the power and precision needed for every job.

Built for Durability and Operator Comfort

The 985 is designed for the long haul, featuring a two-wheel drive chassis with power steering for effortless control. Hydraulic wet disc brakes ensure reliable stopping power, while the mechanical rear differential lock provides enhanced traction when conditions get tough. For operator comfort, a four-post ROPS is standard, with an available cab option complete with air-conditioning for those extended working days.

Ready for Any Task: Hitch and Dimensions

With a Category II rear hitch capable of lifting 5710 lbs (2590 kg) and featuring position and draft control, the 985 is prepared for serious fieldwork. Its substantial dimensions, including a 93.3-inch (236 cm) wheelbase and a weight of 7340 lbs (3329 kg), contribute to its stability, while standard agricultural tires (9.00-16 front, 18.4-34 rear) offer excellent grip.

Conclusion

Whether for tillage, transport, or specialized tasks, the 985 delivers performance and reliability that agricultural professionals can count on."
