ENGINE DETAIL

The Hesston 1380 tractor is powered by a Fiat 8065-24 turbocharged diesel engine, delivering robust torque and efficient fuel combustion due to its high compression ratio of 15.7:1. Its 335ci (5.5L) displacement with a bore and stroke of 4.05x4.33 inches suggests potential for high power output, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. The 12V starter system is standard, simplifying electrics for reliable starting, though operators should consider part availability for specific components given its niche demographic.
