ENGINE DETAIL
The AGCO RT100A features a robust Sisu 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 6.6L, delivering 128hp at a rated RPM of 2200, which is advantageous for high-torque applications such as heavy tillage or large implements. Its dual paper element air cleaner enhances engine longevity and performance by improving filtration, although maintenance can increase operational costs. The moderately high compression ratio of 18.5:1 promotes fuel efficiency, but may also require higher-grade diesel fuels for optimal performance in low-temperature operations.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The AGCO RT100A tractor features a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with a 32-speed partial power shift, providing versatile speed control and enhanced fuel efficiency. This transmission allows for seamless power application across different operational conditions, making it particularly advantageous for tasks requiring precise speed adjustments, such as tillage or planting. However, maintenance of the complex CVT system may present a challenge, necessitating specialized skills and parts to ensure optimal performance over time.

TRANSMISSION 1
The AGCO RT100A features a PowerMaxx continuously variable transmission (CVT), providing seamless shifting with infinite forward and reverse gears, which optimizes engine power and efficiency for various agricultural applications. This design enhances operator comfort by reducing engine noise and improving fuel efficiency during prolonged use. However, the complexity of CVT systems can lead to higher maintenance requirements and initial costs compared to traditional gear transmissions.

| Type | continuously variable transmission |
| Gears | infinite forward and reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The AGCO RT100A features a QuadraShift transmission, enabling smooth gear transitions with its partial power shift mechanism, which enhances productivity during both forward and reverse operations. With 32 total gears, this tractor provides excellent versatility for varying field conditions and tasks, allowing for precise speed and torque optimization. However, the complexity of a partial power shift can lead to increased maintenance requirements compared to simpler transmission systems, so operators should be aware of potential service costs.
