BIG BUD 400/30 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Big Bud 400/30, powered by a Detroit Diesel 8V-92T, delivers a robust 400 hp at 2100 RPM, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural and construction tasks. Its substantial displacement of 736 ci (12.1 L) and turbocharged system enhance torque and efficiency, but the high compression ratio of 19:1 can lead to increased stress and potential maintenance challenges. The 24-volt electric starter ensures reliable ignition, which is critical in cold operating conditions, though it may require compatible equipment for optimal performance.

TRANSMISSION
The Big Bud 400/30 tractor's Twin Disc TD-61-1154 power shift transmission enables seamless gear changes, enhancing productivity during heavy-duty tasks. With 6 forward and 1 reverse gear, it provides a good balance of speed and torque for diverse agricultural applications. However, the reliance on a single reverse gear may limit maneuverability in tight spaces, making it less ideal for operations requiring frequent directional changes.
