BIG BUD 400 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Big Bud 400 is powered by a robust Caterpillar 3406B turbocharged diesel engine, with a substantial displacement of 14.6 L that provides a power output of 400 hp at 2100 RPM, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural applications. Its large bore and stroke (5.400x6.50 inches) enhance torque delivery, essential for efficient plowing or cultivating of large fields. However, the significant size and weight may limit maneuverability in tighter spaces, making it ideal for expansive farming operations rather than smaller, precision work.
