The PowerStar™ family of tractors provides unprecedented power, comfort and performance in a utility tractor. With a choice of models up to 117 engine horsepower with 2WD or 4WD, they have power to easily tackle haying applications like raking, tedding, mowing or baling in the field, to rotary cutting the back acreage, or stacking bales or handling other material with the front end loader. PowerStar™ tractors now have a 207 cubic-inch, 3.4 liter engine producing 50 to 100 PTO horsepower. Coupled with four-cylinders and turbo charged, these Tier4 diesel engines rise to the challenging conditions with smooth lugging power. Since these engines meet emissions regulations without requiring regeneration, you get the non-stop power you need for field PTO (power take off) work, tough roadside mowing or heavy loader work all day long.

In short production windows, you’ll have the power to bale more — even at higher moisture levels. The heavy-duty pickup features stronger, more durable components to increase the wear life of the pick up. The “premium laced” and “endless” belt are designed with higher tensile strength for improved durability and better belt tracking. Redesigned net wrap system has an independent up-cut knife system to create less stress on components which results in a more reliable wrapping system.
