Engine Manufacturer:
SAME (likely Sonalika or LS in later models, but the manual should specify the exact engines used in these Explorer series)
Horsepower Range:
Approximately 75 HP to 100 HP, depending on the specific model designation (e.g., 75, 85, 95, 100).
Engine Configuration:
Likely naturally aspirated or turbocharged, 3 or 4-cylinder diesel engines (specifics vary by model and should be detailed in the manual).
Transmission Type:
Mechanical Synchromesh gearbox with various speed options (e.g., 12+4, 16+8, etc., depending on the specific model variant).
Optional Transmission Features:
Likely includes creeper gears and/or power shuttle options on certain higher-spec models (TB variants often indicate enhanced transmission features).
Pto Options:
Standard 540/1000 RPM PTO configurations, with potential for ground-speed PTO on some models.
Instrumentation:
Analog and/or digital gauges for engine RPM, speed, fuel level, temperature, and warning lights. Hour meter is standard.
Traction Control:
Mechanical differential lock for both front and rear axles (lever operated).
Electrical Connections:
Standard 12V electrical system with alternator/generator and battery. May include external power outlets or lighting connections.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, or annually. Specific interval detailed in manual.
Hydraulic Oil Change:
Generally every 1000-1500 operating hours, or bi-annually. Manual will specify exact interval and filter change requirements.
Engine Oil Type:
API CG-4 or higher, SAE 15W-40 or 10W-40 (depending on ambient temperature). Refer to manual for precise OEM specification.
Hydraulic Oil Type:
Tractor hydraulic fluid (e.g., UTTO - Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) meeting specific OEM specifications (e.g., AGROPLUS 10W-30 or equivalent). Manual will list exact specification and capacity.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, PTO clutch engagement, hydraulic pump performance, front axle pivot wear, electrical connector corrosion.
Engine Issues:
Potential for injector pump calibration drift or turbocharger issues (if equipped) on higher-mileage units. Overheating due to radiator or cooling fan issues.
Brand Origin:
SAME (Società Accomandita per Azioni Elettromeccanica) is an Italian manufacturer of tractors and agricultural machinery, now part of the SDF Group (Same Deutz-Fahr).
Explorer Series:
The Explorer series represented a range of versatile utility tractors designed for a broad spectrum of agricultural tasks, evolving over various generations to incorporate improved technology and operator comfort.
Production Period:
The Explorer series, including the II generation, was produced from the late 1990s through the early 2000s, with specific model years varying.
