ROME 475C POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Rome 475C tractor is powered by a robust Caterpillar 3408 diesel engine, which features a sizable 18.0 L displacement and delivers 475 hp at 2100 RPM, ensuring high torque and reliability for heavy-duty applications. Its 8-cylinder configuration contributes to smooth operation and reduced vibrations, ideal for extended use in demanding environments. However, the tractor's large engine size may lead to higher fuel consumption and maintenance costs, making it more suitable for operations requiring consistent heavy loads rather than lighter agricultural tasks.
