Fuel Type:
Gasoline or Diesel (depending on specific D12 variant).
Type:
Manual transmission with multiple forward and reverse gears. Likely a constant mesh or sliding gear transmission.
Gear Configurations:
Typically 4, 5, or 6 forward speeds and 1-2 reverse speeds.
Clutch:
Single or dual-clutch system for transmission and PTO engagement.
Power Take Off Pto:
Standard PTO with speed options (e.g., 540 RPM).
Differential Lock:
Likely includes a mechanical differential lock for enhanced traction.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 50-100 operating hours, or annually.
Transmission Oil Change:
Typically every 500-1000 operating hours.
Grease Points:
Daily or weekly, depending on usage, as specified in the manual.
Engine Oil:
Refer to manual for specific SAE viscosity grade (e.g., SAE 30, 10W-30) and API service classification.
