The R8.270 is powered by a water-cooled six-cylinder diesel engine of 7,146 cc, producing 269 hp (198 kW) at 2,350 rpm and able to run on either diesel or biodiesel. At a kerb weight of 9,430 kg it measures 5,268 mm in length, 2,750 mm in width and 3,270 mm in height, on a 3,095 mm wheelbase; hydraulic lift capacity is 10,500 kg, and top speed is 50 km/h.
A six-cylinder producing almost 270 hp at over 9 tonnes kerb weight belongs in the class of the heaviest field tractors, for ploughing and cultivating with the largest mounted implements and for haulage with full trailers over long distances. Approval for biodiesel allows running on plant-based fuel, which for an engine of this class places particular demands on filters and seals in the fuel system.
When buying a used R8.270 of this weight, the hydraulic system with its high lift capacity, the fuel-system seals where biodiesel has been used, and the condition of the rear axle are among the most important checks. Electronics, cooling system and tyres should be checked with particular care given the vehicle's weight. Parts for this class of engine and drivetrain are available through dealers specialising in heavy Lamborghini tractors.
