CAMECO 505 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Cameco 505 tractor, featuring a Caterpillar 3406T turbocharged diesel engine with a substantial displacement of 14.6 L, delivers 325 hp at a rated RPM of 2100 and peak torque of 1015 lb-ft at 1200 RPM, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. The engine's liquid-cooled system ensures optimal performance even under continuous load, though the high torque may present challenges in maintaining traction on uneven terrain. With a robust oil capacity of 39.7 qts, it facilitates extended operation intervals, but regular monitoring of fluid levels is essential to prevent overheating.

CAMECO 505 ENGINE
The Cameco 505 tractor is powered by a robust Caterpillar 14.6L 6-cylinder diesel engine, providing significant torque for heavy-duty applications and enhanced fuel efficiency, which is critical for prolonged operational periods. The 130-gallon fuel tank capacity minimizes downtime by extending working intervals between refuels, making it ideal for large agricultural or construction projects. However, the weight and dimensions of the tractor may limit maneuverability in tight spaces, which should be considered depending on the operational environment.

TRANSMISSION
The Cameco 505 tractor features a robust Allison HT 754 power shift transmission with 10 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing smooth power delivery and versatility in operation, crucial for tasks requiring immediate responsiveness. The total oil capacity of 26.1 qts (24.7 L) across the gearbox and transfer case ensures optimal lubrication, minimizing wear and enhancing longevity but may necessitate regular checks to prevent overheating. In scenarios involving frequent gear changes or varying terrain, this combination supports effective traction management, though potential challenges might include complex maintenance due to the advanced transmission system.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Cameco 505 tractor, weighing 28,050 lbs (12,723 kg), is well-suited for heavy-duty agricultural tasks, thanks to its robust weight distribution which enhances stability during operation. The 24.5x32 tire specification provides excellent traction and flotation, minimizing soil compaction — crucial for sensitive farming practices. However, the substantial weight may also pose challenges in terms of transport and maneuverability in more confined areas or on unpaved surfaces.
