It covers the four-cylinder 168hp engine running a rotary hoe in boggy, sandy soil, the ZF six-speed/five-range semi-powershift transmission with 24 gears, and real impressions on auto-shift behavior on road versus field. Useful for buyers wanting a working-conditions look rather than a showroom spec rundown, though it's an overseas test, not US/Canada specific.
Appears to be a farm-equipment review outlet testing the tractor in working conditions on an Australian farm, rather than an owner or dealership channel.
The four-cylinder Tier 4 Final engine pushes out a maximum 168 horsepower, 125 kilowatts, plus a five-horsepower, 3.7 kilowatt boost.
Using a rotary hoe in a very boggy field with quicksand-like conditions after a meter of rain, the tractor plugged along nicely and never complained or made excess noise.
It uses a ZF semi-powershift transmission, a smoother six-speed five-range box with creeper gears giving 24 gears total, with six power shifts per range.
The auto shift suited the field better than the road, with a slight lag between ranges that the testers found a bit niggly.
