ENGINE DETAIL
The AGCO RT180A features a robust SisuDiesel 6-cylinder engine with a substantial torque output of 715.4 lb-ft available at 1400 RPM, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring high pulling power. The electronic common rail fuel injection system enhances fuel efficiency and optimizes emissions, though its Tier III compliance may limit usage in regions with stricter emission regulations. A potential drawback is the engine's relatively low rated RPM of 2200, which may impact its performance in high-speed field operations.
