LUOYANG, China — Luoyang Lutong Agricultural Equipment Co., Ltd. has introduced the LTS2604, a 260-horsepower four-wheel-drive tractor engineered for large-scale arable farming, heavy tillage, and high-productivity field operations. Positioned as the flagship of the company's high-horsepower lineup, the LTS2604 brings together robust powertrain technology, a wide gear range, and a climate-controlled operator station in a package designed to meet the demands of modern commercial agriculture.
Powertrain and Performance
At the heart of the LTS2604 is a Shangchai (SDEC) six-cylinder high-pressure common-rail diesel engine delivering a rated power output of 191.5 kW (approximately 260 HP) at 2,200 r/min. The engine's common-rail fuel system supports clean combustion and responsive torque delivery across the working rev range, while the 4×4 drivetrain ensures traction in demanding soil conditions.
Power is routed through a modular shuttle-type transmission offering 32 forward and 32 reverse gears with synchronized shifting. This wide ratio span gives operators a theoretical forward speed range from 0.26 km/h for ultra-low-speed precision work up to 30.72 km/h for road travel and rapid field-to-field transfers. The power take-off supports 540/1000 r/min speeds, enabling compatibility with a broad range of rear-mounted implements including plows, harrows, seeders, and balers.
Chassis and Dimensions
The LTS2604 measures 5,840 mm in length, 3,465 mm in width, and 3,220 mm in height, with a minimum operating weight of 8,500 kg. Its 3,000 mm wheelbase and 445 mm minimum ground clearance provide stable footing on uneven terrain while preserving clearance over row crops and field ridges. Front and rear wheel tracks are set at 2,030 mm and 2,330 mm respectively, offering a balanced footprint for heavy draft loads.
Hydraulic power steering comes as standard, reducing operator effort during long working days, while the machine's large fuel capacity supports extended operation between refuels.
Operator Environment
The LTS2604 is fitted with a fully enclosed, air-conditioned cabin designed to reduce fatigue during long shifts. An air-suspension seat, adjustable steering column, and clearly laid-out instrument cluster provide a comfortable and informative workspace. LED working lights and a rotary warning light extend safe operation into low-light conditions, while the cabin's sound-dampening construction helps maintain a quieter working environment.
Market Positioning
With its 260 HP rating, heavy-duty chassis, and comprehensive feature set, the LTS2604 is targeted at large farms, agricultural cooperatives, and contractors seeking a high-horsepower tractor capable of handling deep plowing, combined seeding, and heavy implement work at competitive operating costs. The model extends Luoyang Lutong's presence in the high-horsepower segment alongside the LTS2204 and LTS2404, reinforcing the company's commitment to serving both domestic and international agricultural markets.
Luoyang Lutong Agricultural Equipment Co., Ltd., based in Luoyang, Henan Province, manufactures a full range of wheeled tractors and agricultural machinery, with products exported to markets across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
