ENGINE DETAIL
The M?ller TM17 tractor, powered by the robust Mercedes-Benz OM 355 engine, delivers an impressive torque of 444.8 lb-ft at a low 1600 RPM, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications and demanding tasks such as plowing or towing. The 9.6 L engine's efficient 173 hp output at rated 2000 RPM supports high productivity, while the substantial coolant and oil capacities (56 qts and 15.85 qts respectively) enhance operational longevity and reliability. However, the 24V electric starter may require specialized maintenance, and potential limitations in fuel efficiency at full load should be considered for long-term operational costs.

M?LLER TM17 TIRES
The M?ller TM17 tractor utilizes large Ag tires, specifically 23.1/18x26 at the front and combined sizes of 23.1/18x26 and 23.1/18x30 at the rear, which enhances traction and stability on varied terrains. This tire configuration is advantageous for heavy-duty tasks and can improve soil compaction management during agricultural operations. However, the larger tire sizes may limit maneuverability in tight spaces and increase soil disturbance if not properly managed.
