ENGINE DETAIL
The Muller TM16 tractor is powered by a robust Cummins 6BT5.9 turbocharged diesel engine, delivering 152 hp at 2500 RPM with a substantial torque of 410.1 lb-ft at 1600 RPM, suitable for heavy-duty applications. Key advantages include its efficient direct injection fuel system for better fuel economy and lower emissions, as well as a significant coolant capacity of 39.1 quarts for improved thermal management during prolonged operations. However, the tractor's 12V electric starting system may require careful maintenance to ensure reliable starting in cold conditions, particularly given its maximum torque usage scenario at lower RPM.
