The GT 1304, GT 1404, GT 1504 and GT 1604 bring the American brand’s highest power range yet to large-scale farming, heavy tillage and agricultural services
GROWER Tractor, the American agricultural machinery brand, has extended its lineup with a new high-horsepower series aimed at operations that measure their work in hectares rather than acres. The GROWER Range 130-160 HP — comprising the GT 1304, GT 1404, GT 1504 and GT 1604 — is built, according to the company’s own technical documentation, to deliver maximum productivity, durability and efficiency for high-demand agricultural applications, with continuous and reliable performance designed to hold up over long working days.
The GROWER Range 130-160 HP
Where GROWER’s mid-power lines are aimed at specialty crops and moderate-scale operations, the 130-160 HP series targets a different kind of customer: extensive farming operations, agricultural service providers, and any operation that needs high traction capacity, powerful performance and consistent output regardless of working conditions. The range is designed to operate hectare after hectare without a drop-off in reliability, a positioning that places it squarely in competition with the mid-to-high horsepower tractors that large-scale row-crop and service operations depend on.
High Power for Large-Scale Operations
The four models share a common engineering foundation, though not an identical one. All are built around inline, water-cooled, four-stroke, direct-injection engines with turbocharging and intercooling — the GT 1304 uses a 4-cylinder configuration, while the GT 1404, GT 1504 and GT 1604 move up to 6-cylinder blocks. Across the range, GROWER lists rated output running from 128 hp to 157.84 hp, positioning the series to deliver strength and fast response while keeping fuel consumption in check during extended field work.
PTO speed options vary by model, with the range as a whole offering 540/760, 540/1000, or 760/850 rpm configurations. That spread gives operators the flexibility to match PTO speed precisely to demanding implements, from heavy tillage tools to specialized agricultural equipment, without sacrificing precision or productivity.
Technology, Traction and PTO Versatility
Beyond raw horsepower, GROWER positions this range around traction and hydraulic capability. Every model is built on a 4WD/4×4 platform, paired with a rear three-point hitch rated Category I and II (Category II and III on the flagship GT 1604), and a hydraulic system engineered to integrate with the brand’s full line of implements. The standard configuration includes two pairs of hydraulic outlets with height and float control, with a three-pair configuration available as an upgrade across the series.
That hydraulic capacity, combined with each model’s traction and lifting figures, is what determines how the range performs under load — whether that means heavy tillage, transport work, or specialized field operations that call for sustained pulling power rather than short bursts of output.
Operator Comfort and Long Working Hours
GROWER’s documentation places a notable emphasis on the operator experience across this range, a detail that matters for any tractor expected to run long shifts during planting or harvest windows. The GT 1304, GT 1404, GT 1504 and GT 1604 all feature ergonomic cabins with enhanced interior insulation, along with additional comfort options intended to reduce operator fatigue over extended days in the seat. LED daytime running lights are standard across the series, improving visibility during both road transport and field operations, while GROWER describes the overall build as a robust, reliable construction meant to withstand the demands of modern agricultural work.
The Four Models: GT 1304, GT 1404, GT 1504 and GT 1604
GT 1304. The entry point to the range, powered by a 4.4-liter, 4-cylinder GROWER GE-LD254 engine rated at 95.6 kW (128 hp) at 2,300 rpm, with a PTO output of 75 kW (100.58 hp). It runs a 12-speed forward, 12-speed reverse (F12+R12) gearbox with a top speed of 38 km/h (24 mph), a 130-liter fuel tank, and a minimum operating weight with cab of 5,510 kg. Its maximum lifting force is rated at 21.192 kN (4,764.15 lbf).
GT 1404. Moving up to a 6.5-liter, 6-cylinder GROWER GT-LR6A3LR22/1030 engine, the GT 1404 is rated at 103 kW (138.13 hp) at 2,300 rpm, with a PTO output of 87.55 kW (117.41 hp). It switches to a 24-speed forward, 8-speed reverse (F24+R8) transmission and a larger 210-liter fuel tank, with a maximum lifting force of 24.72 kN (5,557.28 lbf) and an operating weight with cab of 4,850 kg.
GT 1504. Built around a 6.75-liter, 6-cylinder GE-LD1504 engine, the GT 1504 delivers 110.3 kW (148 hp) at 2,300 rpm, with the same 87.55 kW (117.41 hp) PTO rating as the GT 1404. It shares the F24+R8 transmission and carries the largest fuel tank in the mid-pack of the range at 228 liters, with an operating weight with cab of 5,700 kg.
GT 1604. The flagship of the series, powered by a 6.75-liter, 6-cylinder GT-LR6A3LR22/1177 engine rated at 117.7 kW (157.84 hp) at 2,200 rpm — the highest output in the range — with a PTO rating of 100.045 kW (134.16 hp). It carries the largest fuel tank in the series at 260 liters and posts the range’s highest maximum traction force, at 38.514 kN (8,658.29 lbf), along with a Category II/III three-point hitch, one step up from the other three models.
Read together, the four models trace a clear progression: the GT 1304 serves as the accessible entry point into high-horsepower territory, while the GT 1404 and GT 1504 add cylinder count, fuel capacity and pulling power, and the GT 1604 caps the range as the tool built for the heaviest, most sustained field work.
A Competitive Agricultural Tractor Market
GROWER’s move into the 130-160 HP segment places it in a category long occupied by some of the most established names in agricultural equipment. Case IH and New Holland Agriculture, both under CNH Industrial, field extensive lineups in this horsepower range aimed at row-crop and livestock operations. John Deere remains a dominant volume player across much of North America’s mid-to-high horsepower categories, while Massey Ferguson and Valtra, both AGCO brands, along with Kubota and DEUTZ-FAHR, round out a field of manufacturers with decades of dealer infrastructure and product history behind them.
For producers and agricultural contractors evaluating a purchase in this range, the decision typically comes down to a familiar set of factors: power, efficiency, reliability, versatility, operator comfort and productivity, weighed against dealer proximity and after-sale support. GROWER enters that conversation with a specification sheet that stands on its own, rather than with claims measured against any single competitor.
GROWER Tractor in the U.S. Market
GROWER Tractor operates with a presence in Florida and Texas, positioning the brand within the U.S. agricultural equipment market and close to some of the country’s largest farming regions. That domestic footprint underlies the company’s broader identity as an American manufacturer building equipment for producers, dealers and agricultural service operations across the country.
The GROWER Range 130-160 HP — GT 1304, GT 1404, GT 1504 and GT 1604 — gives the brand its highest-horsepower offering to date, built around a shared foundation of turbocharged, intercooled engines, 4WD drivetrains and hydraulic systems designed for GROWER’s full implement lineup, while differentiating each model through cylinder count, transmission, fuel capacity and traction rating. Aimed at large-scale farming, heavy tillage and agricultural services, the range enters a segment where Case IH, New Holland, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Valtra, Kubota and DEUTZ-FAHR have long-established positions. As with any tractor purchase in this horsepower class, dealer support, parts availability and field performance over time will ultimately shape how the range is received by U.S. producers and contractors.
