ENGINE DETAIL

The New Holland T6.120 features a robust FPT turbocharged diesel engine that provides reliable performance with a maximum output of 121 hp at 2200 RPM, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its compliant Interim Tier IV emissions system utilizing selective catalytic reduction (SCR) optimizes fuel efficiency while reducing environmental impact, but may require additional maintenance for the SCR components. The 4-cylinder configuration delivers a strong balance of power and durability; however, operators should be aware of the engine's relatively high displacement (4.5L) which could contribute to increased operational costs compared to smaller models.
