BIG BUD KT450 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Big Bud KT450 features a robust Cummins turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel engine with a significant displacement of 18.8L, providing high torque and power delivery ideal for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its design with a 6.25-inch bore and stroke promotes optimal thermal efficiency and durability, supporting a strong output of 450 hp at a rated RPM of 2100. While its electric starter enhances reliability, operators must consider the weight and fuel consumption associated with such high-displacement engines, making it more suited for large-scale farming operations rather than smaller applications.
