Injection System:
Inline injection pump (e.g., CAV, Lucas/Delphi) or Electronic Unit Pump (EUP) on later models.
Transmission Type Standard:
18-speed Powershift (e.g., Massey Ferguson's 'Autotronic' or 'AGCO All-Shift')
Transmission Type Optional:
Fully Synchronized Manual Transmission (potentially available on some configurations or lower horsepower models)
Powershift Features:
Gear splitting, clutchless shifting through ranges and gears, often with automatic shifting modes.
Roll Over Protection:
ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) compliant cab or frame, as standard for tractors of this era.
Braking System Type:
Power hydraulic, multi-plate wet disc brakes on rear axle, often with independent braking.
Cab Safety:
Seat belts, safety glass, emergency stop switches, integrated lighting.
Instrumentation Panel:
Analog gauges for speed, RPM, fuel, temperature, hydraulic pressure. Digital displays for hours, warning lights, and potentially PTO speed or gear selection.
Cruise Control:
Optional feature on some models for maintaining engine RPM or ground speed.
Telemetry Options:
Not a primary feature of this generation; later AGCO tractors introduced advanced telematics.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, depending on operating conditions and oil specification.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Every 1000-1200 operating hours for powershift and hydraulic fluid.
Air Filter Replacement:
Check at 250 hours, replace as needed or at 500 hours/annually.
Engine Oil Spec:
API CE/CF or ACEA E2/E3, viscosity grade SAE 15W-40.
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid Spec:
Massey Ferguson M-1135 or M-1145 (UTTO - Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) or equivalent. Check manual for specific recommendation.
Coolant Spec:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors. 50/50 mix with distilled water for freeze protection and optimal performance.
Powershift Transmission Issues:
Potential for wear on clutch packs and torque converter in high-hour units; control valve issues causing erratic shifting.
