ENGINE DETAIL
The Hesston 90-90 tractor, powered by a Fiat diesel 5-cylinder engine with a displacement of 298ci (4.9L), delivers 90hp (67.1kW), providing robust performance for moderate agricultural tasks. Its liquid cooling system ensures optimal operating temperatures, enhancing engine longevity and reliability in demanding conditions. However, the tractor's relatively lower power output may limit its efficiency in heavy-duty applications, making it more suitable for tasks like haymaking or lighter plowing rather than high-torque scenarios.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Hesston 90-90 tractor features either a 15-speed or a 20-speed transmission system, providing versatility in gear selection for various field operations. The additional speeds in the 20-speed option enhance fine-tuning of engine power for optimal efficiency, particularly in tasks requiring precise speed control, such as planting or tilling. However, more gears may lead to increased complexity in operation and maintenance, which should be considered by operators.
| Description | 15-speed / 20-speed |
TRANSMISSION 1
The Hesston 90-90 tractor features a transmission with 15 forward and 3 reverse gears, providing versatility for various field operations and allowing for precise speed control in both forward and reverse directions. This wide gear range enhances productivity, making it suitable for diverse tasks such as tilling, plowing, and hauling. However, the complexity of the transmission may require more maintenance and operator skill to navigate effectively.
| Gears | 15 forward and 3 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Hesston 90-90 tractor features a transmission with 20 forward and 8 reverse gears, providing exceptional versatility for various tasks. This wide gear range allows for precise speed control, making it ideal for applications requiring both power and finesse, such as plowing or transporting heavy loads. However, managing the gear shifts may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-speed systems, especially in complex terrains.
| Gears | 20 forward and 8 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Hesston 90-90 tractor offers 2WD or 4WD configurations, providing versatility in various terrains, with the 4WD option enhancing traction and stability on challenging surfaces. Its 15-speed or optional 20-speed transmission allows for precise speed control and adaptability to different field conditions, which is advantageous for both heavy tillage and transport applications. However, the complexity of a 20-speed transmission may pose maintenance challenges and require operator training to optimize performance.
