ENGINE DETAIL
The CaseIH STX480QT tractor features a robust Cummins QSX15 engine, delivering 480 hp at a rated RPM of 2000, which is suitable for high-demand agricultural duties. Its 14.9L displacement and 6-cylinder layout provide substantial torque and power for heavy-duty applications, making it ideal for tasks requiring sustained output such as plowing or hauling. However, the 24-volt starter system may require careful consideration for compatibility with existing equipment; ensure appropriate electrical systems are in place to handle the startup demands.
