AGCO RT135 ENGINE
The AGCO RT135 is powered by a robust Cummins 6.7L 6-cylinder diesel engine, offering reliable performance and durability. With a substantial 100-gallon (378.5L) fuel tank, this tractor is well-suited for extended operations in the field, minimizing downtime for refueling. However, the large engine displacement may lead to higher emissions and fuel consumption compared to smaller engines, making it essential to evaluate operational costs in relation to workload.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The AGCO RT135 features a continuously variable transmission (CVT) which provides seamless power delivery and optimal fuel efficiency, allowing for smooth operation across various speeds and conditions. The 32-speed partial power shift enhances versatility, enabling precise control during different tasks like plowing or mowing. However, maintenance of such advanced transmission systems can be more complex and costly compared to traditional gear systems, requiring specialized knowledge.
