HT704X Heavy-Frame Tractor for Large-Scale Tillage, Hauling, and Hillside Work

When Horsepower Needs Mass to Deliver

Walk onto any large-scale farm and you will see the same problem: a 70HP engine is only as useful as the traction that puts it to the ground. Lightweight tractors spin tires in damp soil, waste fuel, and take twice as long to cover a field. The HT704-X addresses that with a 1980kg chassis that keeps the rear tires planted when you are pulling a 6-foot disc harrow through compacted clay or dragging a loaded grain drill up a 15-degree slope. The 4WD system engages on the move, so you are not stopping to lock hubs when you hit a wet headland or climb out of a drainage swale.

The KM4100ZT2 four-cylinder diesel engine delivers its 70HP through a 1900mm wheelbase that provides stability on side slopes. The 3570mm overall length and 1620mm width are sized for open-field work, yet the tractor fits through standard farm gates and around livestock pens. Hydraulic steering remains responsive even at reduced engine speeds, so you are not wrestling the wheel when you are backing a heavy trailer into a tight loading bay.

Transmission That Keeps Pace with Production Schedules

The 8F+8R synchronized shuttle transmission is a significant productivity upgrade over basic 8+2 gearboxes. You get eight forward speeds and eight reverse speeds, all synchronized, so you can shift through the range without grinding gears. The shuttle function lets you change direction with a single lever, without clutching through every forward-to-reverse transition. If you have ever spent a day pulling a manure spreader or loading grain carts, you will recognize the time savings immediately.

The dual-stage clutch adds another layer of utility for PTO-driven work. Press the clutch pedal halfway down and you disengage the transmission while keeping the PTO running—essential for balers, rotary cutters, and sprayers that must remain spinning while you stop to reposition. Fully depress the pedal and both transmission and PTO disengage for complete stops. This design reduces operator fatigue during long days of tillage and seeding, where you are constantly stopping to check depth or clear plugged implements.

With a top forward speed of 26.93 km/h, you can move between distant fields without slowing down the day’s workflow. The low-end crawl speed gives you precise control when you are backing up to a implement or inching forward during precision seeding operations.

PTO and Hydraulic Performance for Heavy Implements

The dual-speed PTO (540/720 rpm) covers the full range of implements you already own. Run your heavy rotary cutter, baler, or forage harvester at 540 rpm for lower-end torque. Switch to 720 rpm for high-speed mowers or specialized harvest equipment that needs quicker shaft rotation for clean output. The 6-spline shaft accepts the most common driveline yokes, so your existing implements bolt on without adapters.

Two groups of hydraulic output come as standard, with a forced pressure lifter on the three-point hitch. This combination gives you consistent lift capacity and flow for multiple functions simultaneously—think running a front loader while operating a rear implement, or powering a grapple bucket while dragging a rake. The forced pressure lifter prevents heavy rear attachments from drifting down during transport, a critical feature when carrying a loaded bale spear or heavy rotary cutter across uneven ground. Front ballast is included as standard to keep the front wheels planted when you are running heavy rear loads.

Weight Distribution and Tire Options for Variable Conditions

The 1980kg minimum operating weight is a deliberate choice for commercial applications. It gives you the traction to deliver that 15.3KN drawbar pull without being so heavy that you sink into soft ground or compact soil layers. This balance is particularly valuable when you are working across variable field conditions—one corner may be dry and hard, the next may be damp and yielding. The standard front ballast lets you fine-tune weight distribution for specific implement loads, and optional rear ballast (one layer) adds extra stability when you are pulling maximum loads.

Tire size options cover different soil conditions and flotation needs. The standard 6.5-16 front and 11.2-24 rear tires provide a balanced footprint for general field work and road transport. Optional 7.5-16/11.2-28 gives you more ground clearance and a larger rear footprint for softer soils and row-crop applications. The 13.6-24 rear option provides the widest footprint for maximum flotation in wet conditions, sandy ground, or when you are running heavy loads that require extra tire contact area.

Stage II Engine for Simplified Serviceability

The KM4100ZT2 engine meets Stage II emission standards, offering a balance between environmental compliance and field-serviceability. Mechanical fuel injection with straightforward electrical controls means diagnostic work does not require proprietary dealer software—a genuine advantage for operations in regions where dealer support is limited. The 4-cylinder, in-line, water-cooled design provides smooth operation and consistent power delivery across the operating range.

Service points are accessible from ground level: oil dipstick, fuel filter, and coolant overflow are grouped on the left side for quick checks. The engine uses commonly available filters and service parts, so you are not locked into a single parts source for routine maintenance.

Cab and Operator Comfort for Long Days

For operators who spend 10-hour days in the field, the cab options make a visible difference in productivity. The sunshade offers basic protection in warmer climates while maintaining airflow. The fan cab provides shelter with ventilation. The heating cab extends your working season into winter months, keeping defrosted windows and a warm operator station. For buyers who need the tractor to perform year-round, the heating cab is a practical investment.

The swing traction option increases maneuverability in tight yards and around buildings, reducing the turning radius when you are maneuvering around feed bunks or livestock pens. The air compressor option is practical for maintaining implement tires or running pneumatic controls on specialized equipment.

Export and Logistics

For overseas buyers, the tractor is secured in iron frame packaging that protects the chassis during container transit. This frame allows you to inspect for any in-transit damage before accepting delivery. Export documentation, shipping coordination, and tracking updates are managed through the sales team from port departure to final delivery. Spare parts kits covering filters, clutch components, and hydraulic seals can be bundled with the initial order to keep your first 500 operating hours covered without sourcing consumables locally.
