Features:
N/A (Tractor of this era lacks modern driver assistance systems)
Features:
N/A (No electronic connectivity features)
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically 100-250 hours or annually (Refer to specific manual for exact recommendation based on oil type)
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically every 250-500 hours or annually
Air Filter Maintenance:
Check and clean/replace as needed based on operating conditions (e.g., dusty environments).
Engine Oil Type:
API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 depending on temperature range (Consult manual for specific viscosity)
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
