Specific values vary by model, typically exceeding 2000 lb-ft. Fuel System Fuel System: High-pressure common rail (HPCR) fuel injection system Emissions Emissions Standard: Tier 4B Final (U.S. EPA and CARB) / Stage IV (EU), utilizing Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injection. Torque Curve Torque Curve Characteristics: Designed for broad torque curve, delivering maximum torque at lower RPM for sustained pulling power under load. Air Intake Air Intake System: Typically features an over-hood intake system designed to draw cleaner air for improved engine performance and component longevity. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Powershift (e.g., Powershift 16x2) Optional Transmission Optional: CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) may be available on certain configurations or later models, but the manual specifically mentions 'Quadtrac,' strongly implying powershift for this generation. Features Transmission Features: Automated shifting, speed matching, power management for optimal efficiency and performance. Gear Ratios Gear Ratio Information: Specific gear ratios for forward and reverse gears would be detailed in the manual for optimal speed and torque application in field operations. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Overall Length: Varies significantly by configuration and hitch options, but typically in the range of 20-25 feet. Track Width: Standard track widths are common, but optional wider tracks are available for specific applications. 30-inch and 36-inch are typical. Weights Operating Weight: Ranges from approximately 30,000 lbs to over 40,000 lbs, depending on configuration, ballast, and hitch type. Maximum Ballast: Significant ballast capacity for achieving desired traction and weight distribution. Track Dimensions Track Dimensions: Track length, width, and contact area are critical for traction and compaction; manual will detail specifications relevant to operation and maintenance. Wheelbase Wheelbase Articulation Point: Not a traditional wheelbase due to articulation. The articulation center is a key design element for maneuverability. 🛡️...
