ENGINE DETAIL
The Claas 85E tractor features a robust 6-cylinder turbocharged intercooled diesel engine with a displacement of 11.9 L, providing significant power output of 375 hp at a rated RPM of 2100, suitable for heavy-duty agricultural operations. The dual paper element air cleaner enhances engine longevity by effectively filtering contaminants, while the impressive compression ratio of 16:1 contributes to fuel efficiency and performance. However, the large coolant capacity of 80 qts should be noted for potential weight considerations and maintenance requirements in high-performance scenarios.

CLAAS 85E ENGINE
The Claas 85E tractor, equipped with a Caterpillar 11.9L 6-cylinder diesel engine, delivers robust performance suitable for heavy-duty agricultural applications. Its substantial fuel tank capacity of 280 gallons (1059.8 L) allows for extended operation periods, reducing the frequency of refueling during long tasks. However, the large size and weight may challenge maneuverability in confined spaces or on softer terrains, requiring careful planning for field operations.

TRANSMISSION
The Claas 85E tractor features a full power shift transmission with 10 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing enhanced efficiency and smooth gear changes without interrupting power delivery. This transmission type is advantageous for tasks requiring precise speed adjustments, like tilling or transporting loads on varying terrains, though it may present a learning curve for operators unaccustomed to power shift systems. Users should also consider the potential increased maintenance needs associated with more complex gear systems compared to a standard transmission.

MECHANICAL
The Claas 85E crawler tractor features hydrostatic differential steering, providing excellent maneuverability in tight spaces, which is advantageous for precision tasks in agriculture or construction. Its 10-speed full power shift transmission allows seamless gear changes under load, enhancing operational efficiency during varied field conditions; however, operators may need training to maximize its capabilities. The hydraulic caliper disc brakes offer reliable stopping power, but regular maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance and safety throughout its lifespan.
