NEW HOLLAND T8.320 ENGINE
The New Holland T8.320 is powered by a robust FPT 8.7L 6-cylinder diesel engine, offering efficient power delivery suited for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its extensive fuel capacities (163 gallons for CVT and 179 gallons for FPS) provide prolonged operational time with reduced refueling frequency, while the 26 gallons DEF tank ensures compliance with emission standards. However, its weight and size may challenge maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for open-field applications rather than in confined areas.
