The machine is powered by a 350-horsepower John Deere 8.1-liter six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine meeting Tier II emissions standards, paired with a three-speed Hydrostat transmission for responsive ground speed control. The chassis shows 2,876 operating hours while the fan motor has recorded 2,093 hours, indicating the machine remains in active use.
