New Holland TG 230 specs: hp, weight, years
CUMMINS 6 TAA-830 six-cylinder diesel or Consolidated Diesel 6TAA-830. The manufacturer claimed 227.8 horsepower. The only laboratory test on record is of one version: OECD Test 2185 measured 216.3 hp at the PTO of the TG 230 (4 WD). Compared at the engine's rated speed, where the brochure figure is quoted, the shaft gave 193.4 hp — 15.1% below the claim.
