ENGINE DETAIL
The New Holland T8.300, powered by a 6-cylinder FPT turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 8.7L, delivers a robust rated power of 257hp and can achieve up to 298hp with EPM boost, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. The use of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) for emissions control aligns with Interim Tier 4 standards, ensuring lower environmental impact while maintaining performance. Key considerations include the necessity for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to operate the SCR system, which can add complexity and ongoing maintenance requirements for operators.
