Typically 3 or 4 cylinders for models in this range.
Displacement:
Varies by model, generally in the range of 3.0L to 4.5L.
Transmission Type:
Manual gearbox, typically with synchronized or unsynchronized gears.
Gear Configurations:
Often features multiple speed ranges (e.g., 2 main ranges) and multiple gears within each range, potentially including a creeper gear or high-low splitter.
Pto Options:
Standard PTO speeds (e.g., 540, 1000 RPM) and potentially ground-speed PTO.
Clutch:
Dry single or dual-stage clutch.
Differential Lock:
Usually equipped with a rear differential lock for improved traction.
Wheelbase:
Varies by model, designed for stability and maneuverability in agricultural settings.
Track Width Front:
Adjustable or fixed, depending on the specific configuration.

Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, or annually, whichever comes first. Specific interval dependent on engine model and operating conditions.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 250-500 operating hours or if fuel quality is suspect.
Air Filter Service:
Check and clean/replace based on operating environment, typically every 100-250 hours. Dry type filters usually replaced, oil bath types cleaned.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Generally recommended every 500-1000 operating hours or every 2 years.
Engine Oil Type:
API CD/CE or higher specification diesel engine oil, typically SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on climate.
