Fuel Injection:
Direct injection, likely with mechanical or common rail systems depending on the era of the Rubin models.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Detailed in maintenance schedules within the manual.
Cooling Type:
Liquid-cooled
Oil Type:
Refer to manual for specific SAE viscosity grade and API classification (e.g., SAE 15W-40, API CG-4 or higher).
Oil Capacity:
Refer to manual for exact capacity, typically 12-20 liters depending on engine configuration.
Transmission Type:
Synchromesh gearbox, likely with multiple ranges (e.g., 16 forward, 16 reverse). Powershift or creeper gears might be optional.
Powershift:
Potentially available on higher-spec models or as an option, allowing on-the-go gear changes without clutching.
Pto Speeds:
Standard PTO speeds (e.g., 540/1000 RPM) covered, with engagement procedures.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Refer to manual for specific specifications (e.g., UTF - Universal Tractor Fluid, or specific hydraulic/transmission oil).
Overall Length:
Highly variable based on specific configuration (e.g., 2WD/4WD, tire size, front loader attachment). Refer to manual for detailed specifications.
Wheelbase:
Varies by configuration. Detailed in manual.
Operating Weight:
Typically ranges from 5,000 kg to 7,000 kg (11,000 lbs to 15,400 lbs) depending on configuration. Specifics in manual.
Max Gross Weight:
Refer to manual for laden weight limits and axle load capacities.
Rollover Protection:
ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) is a standard safety feature. Manual would detail inspection and maintenance.
Braking System:
Hydraulically actuated disc brakes, potentially with wet brake configuration for enhanced durability and performance. Manual covers adjustment and repair.
Seatbelts:
Standard on operator's seat. Manual covers seat and restraint system checks.
Operator Interface:
Basic analog gauges for engine speed, temperature, oil pressure, fuel level. Controls for hydraulics, PTO, and transmission. Minimal electronic infotainment features typical for this era of tractor.
Cruise Control:
Not a standard feature on most tractors of this type, though some advanced models might have engine speed memory functions.
Diagnostics Ports:
Limited to basic electrical connections for diagnostic testing of key components. Not OBD-II equivalent.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, but refer to manual for exact interval based on operating conditions.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Usually every 1000-1200 operating hours. Manual will specify filter replacement intervals as well.
Air Filter Maintenance:
Regular inspection and cleaning/replacement, frequency dependent on dust levels in the operating environment.
Engine Coolant:
Specify a coolant meeting international standards (e.g., G11 or G12 type antifreeze/coolant, 50/50 mix with distilled water). Manual will provide exact specifications.
Transmission Oil Viscosity:
Refer to manual, common for agricultural tractors is SAE 80W-90 or SAE 85W-140 for gearboxes, and UTF for hydraulic systems.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, hydraulic pump wear, PTO clutch engagement issues, alternator and starter motor wear are common across heavy-duty tractors.
Electrical Gremlins:
Wiring harness degradation due to vibration and age can lead to intermittent electrical faults. Manual's wiring diagrams are crucial here.
Manufacturer History:
SAME (Società Accomandita Meccanica) is an Italian agricultural machinery manufacturer with a long history dating back to 1927, known for its tractors and other farm equipment.
Rubin Series:
The Rubin series represents a range of powerful, versatile tractors designed for heavy-duty agricultural and industrial applications, typically from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. These tractors were known for their robust construction and reliable performance.
Manufacturing Location:
Primarily Italy, though SAME tractors have been produced or assembled in various locations under different agreements.
