This diesel engine provides ample torque for demanding tasks. The TN55D offered several transmission options, including a 12-speed forward and 12-speed reverse synchronized shuttle transmission, providing good speed range and ease of operation. The independent PTO delivers approximately 48 horsepower at 540 RPM, allowing efficient operation of various implements.
