Lighting:
Headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals (depending on configuration).
Infotainment Features:
Basic dashboard instrumentation (hour meter, temperature gauge, oil pressure light, battery light). No advanced infotainment systems.
Driver Assistance Features:
Limited to the inherent ease of operation provided by the hydrostatic transmission and power steering (if equipped).
Connectivity Features:
N/A. Primarily mechanical and basic electrical systems.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 50-100 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first. Specific interval found in manual.
Air Filter Cleaning Replacement:
Check regularly, replace as needed based on operating conditions (e.g., dusty environments).
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended replacement at specified intervals (e.g., annually or every 200-300 hours).
Transmission Fluid Change:
Critical maintenance, typically around 200-500 hours, or annually. Specific fluid type and procedure detailed in the manual.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Similar to transmission fluid intervals, depends on usage and fluid condition.
Hydraulic Fluid Filter Replacement:
Typically replaced concurrently with hydraulic fluid changes.
Engine Oil Type:
API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 recommended (check manual for specific grade).
Engine Oil Capacity:
Approximately 3.5 - 4.5 liters (check dipstick and manual for exact capacity).
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
Iseki recommends their genuine tractor fluid or a high-quality universal tractor transmission fluid (UTTF) / hydraulic fluid meeting specific Iseki specifications (refer to manual).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze/coolant mixture (50/50 with distilled water recommended).
Common Issues:
Typical for compact tractors: potential for hydraulic leaks with age, wear on PTO components with heavy use, starter or alternator issues, general wear and tear on linkages and pivots. The manual will guide on diagnosing and addressing these.
Oil Filter Example:
Example: Part numbers for filters (oil, fuel, air) and common wear items are critical and will be detailed in the manual. Specific part numbers vary by engine variant and year.
