BIG BUD 450/50 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Big Bud 450/50 tractor is powered by a robust Cummins turbocharged diesel engine with a significant displacement of 18.8L, allowing for substantial torque and horsepower (450hp) optimal for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its 6.25x6.25-inch bore and stroke configuration enhances engine efficiency, while the rated RPM of 2100 aligns with optimal operational speeds in field conditions. However, consider the weight and fuel consumption of a tractor of this size when planning for maneuvers in more compact or varied terrain scenarios.
