BIG BUD 500 POWER

Engine 500hp / 372.9kW

ENGINES OVERVIEW

The Big Bud 500 is powered by a robust Komatsu 6-cylinder diesel engine or an option for a Deutz 19.1L 12-cylinder diesel, offering significant torque for heavy-duty applications. The choice of engines allows for flexibility in maintenance and fuel efficiency, with the Deutz variant providing higher horsepower for demanding tasks. However, the larger engine may increase operational costs and weight, potentially impacting maneuverability in tighter fields.
