The engine is an MTU 8V-199 TE20, a turbocharged V8 diesel producing 530 kW, or 720 hp. Power is transmitted through a hydro-mechanical, infinitely variable transmission of the HMX3000 type. At a length of 6,900 mm, a width of 3,400 mm and a height of 3,400 mm, this is a large tracked vehicle.
Infinitely variable hydro-mechanical transmissions such as the HMX3000 allow power delivery without the interruptions of discrete gear steps, giving smooth acceleration and steering through the drive units of both tracks. At 530 kW, the Hunter AFV ranks among the more powerful vehicles of its size class.
On a tracked vehicle of this power class, checking the running gear matters particularly, especially track tension, road wheels and drive sprockets, along with the operation of the variable transmission, whose servicing calls for specialist expertise. The turbocharged V8 diesel should be checked for boost pressure and cooling system condition, since high continuous output means correspondingly high thermal loads. The steering clutches on both tracks and the seals of the variable transmission should also be carefully checked given the high power being transmitted.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
