Under these extreme conditions, our engines 
prove what they can do. Thoroughly field tested 
and proven, with engine management that reli-
ably protects against overload and damage, 
these engines make it possible for modern, high-
performance harvesters to take full advantage 
of their performance potential.

Engines for Forage Harvesters 
With us you can cut 
anything down to size.
Forage harvesters take on the hardest jobs. Powered by our 
proven and tested engines they can be used in any weather, 
even on difficult wet surfaces. Regardless of how much 
power the harvester requires, our engines are able to provide 
it. Due to electronically controlled fuel injection and high 
performance, our engines produce high torque even at low 
engine speeds. If the forage harvesters are running at full 
power, the throughput can become a real challenge even for 
the best transport logistics. They can cover a large amount 
of area in a short time.
Our engines provide extraordinary power with great efficien-
cy. The low consumption of fuel and long service intervals 
are exemplary. Even the noise emission levels are low – an 
advantage whenever the equipment needs to be used near 
residential areas. 
Furthermore, the engine design makes quick and uncom-
plicated maintenance possible – expensive downtimes are 
reduced to a minimum.

Engines for Sugar Cane, Potato, Straw and Beet Harvesters
Harvesting success.
Harvesting potatoes, beets and other vegetables is a 
special challenge: In order to bring in the harvest as 
quickly as possible, the harvesting equipment must 
work well into the dark of night, sometimes under 
severe conditions. Rain, cold and problematic ground 
conditions call for reliable high-power technology with 
sensitive controls. 
Our engines are the first choice for these applications. 
Because of their compact dimensions, they are compa-
ratively light and need little installation space. At the 
same time, they provide high amounts of torque.
