Hydrostatic Transmission (HST)
Speed Control:
Variable speed control via a foot pedal, allowing for smooth acceleration and deceleration without clutch operation.
Drive Modes:
2WD (Two-Wheel Drive) or 4WD (Four-Wheel Drive) configurations are common for this model.
Pto Speed:
Standard 540 RPM rear PTO, and a 2000 or 2500 RPM mid-PTO for mower decks.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Kubota UDT (Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid) or equivalent approved hydraulic/transmission fluid.
Overall Length:
Approximately 2500-2600 mm (98-102 inches) without attachments.
Overall Width:
Approximately 1100-1300 mm (43-51 inches) depending on tire configuration.
Wheelbase:
Approximately 1500-1600 mm (59-63 inches).
Operating Weight:
Around 800-1000 kg (1760-2200 lbs) without operator and attachments.
Drawbar Pull Capacity:
Typical drawbar capacity for this class is in the range of 800-1200 kg (1760-2650 lbs).
Rollover Protection:
ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) is a standard safety feature. A foldable ROPS may be fitted. Operator must use seatbelt when ROPS is in place.
Safety Interlocks:
Features safety interlocks to prevent operation if the operator is not seated, or if PTO is engaged inappropriately.
Lighting:
Includes headlights, taillights, and brake lights for visibility during operation, especially in low-light conditions.
Dashboard Controls:
Features a functional dashboard with essential gauges for engine RPM, temperature, fuel level, and indicator lights for system status. No advanced infotainment systems present.
Cruise Control:
Not typically equipped with cruise control. Operation relies on hydrostatic pedal control.
Auxiliary Power:
May include a 12V auxiliary power outlet for charging small devices, though this is not a primary focus for tractor operation.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100 or 200 operating hours, or annually, whichever comes first. Refer to manual for precise interval and oil type.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Recommended every 500 or 1000 operating hours, depending on operating conditions. Fluid filter should be changed more frequently.
