CLAAS 696 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Claas 696 tractor features a DPS 6068 TRT turbocharged 6-cylinder engine with a robust displacement of 6.8L, delivering a rated power of 146hp at 2000 RPM and a high torque of 431.5 lb-ft at 1650 RPM. Its bore/stroke dimensions (107x127 mm) suggest a well-balanced design that favors low-end torque, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications such as plowing and hauling. However, the reliance on turbocharging may pose challenges in maintenance and can complicate engine tuning, requiring careful attention in demanding scenarios.
