AGCO RT180A

Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The AGCO RT180A is a robust row-crop tractor designed for demanding farming tasks. It comes equipped with a 215 hp SisuDiesel 74CTA six-cylinder turbocharged intercooled engine, capable of reaching up to 245 hp at peak power. The engine displacement is notable at 449.4 cubic inches, with a 4.252-inch bore and 5.276-inch stroke, operating efficiently at a rated RPM of 2200. When it comes to transmission, users have the option of two types: a 24-speed partial power shift or an infinite-gear Powermaxx CVT, suitable for versatile agricultural operations. Its dry cartridge air cleaner, an electronic common rail fuel system coupled with an air-intake grid heater, ensures reliable starts and optimal engine performance. The tractor's thoughtful design extends to a weighting system that supports both operation at 17,460 lbs and a ballasted maximum of 23,920 lbs for improved traction. Given its dimensions, extending up to 210 inches in length and having a minimum width of 79.1 inches, it caters well to row-crop work. Steering is eased via a power steering system, and its 4x2 2WD chassis is designed to maneuver through fields with ease while the cab height reaches 122 inches, providing ample visibility for the operator. While operational specifics like PTO speeds, hitch lift capacity, and manufacture years are unavailable, the AGCO RT180A's specifications speak to its capability in the field.
