Varies by specific configuration, typically in the 140-170 PTO horsepower range. Manual will detail specific ratings.
Torque Rating:
Varies by specific configuration. Manual will provide detailed torque specifications.
Injection System:
Likely mechanical rotary or inline injection pump, potentially early electronic unit injectors depending on specific build date. Manual will detail.
Transmission Type:
Likely powershift transmission (e.g., 18-speed or 16-speed) or a synchronized constant mesh transmission with a creeper gear option.
Transmission Options:
May include different gear ratios or PTO speeds. Manual will detail all available configurations.
Transmission Control:
Manual shifting, powershift controls (button or lever operated), range selection.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Specific hydraulic fluid and transmission oil grades will be detailed in the manual (e.g., Case IH Hy-Tran, UTF, or specific gear oil).
Overall Length:
Varies with configuration (e.g., with/without front weights, 2WD/MFWD). Manual will provide precise dimensions.
Wheelbase:
Varies by 2WD/MFWD. Manual will specify.
Operating Weight:
Typically in the range of 13,000 - 16,000 lbs (5,897 - 7,257 kg). Manual will list exact weights for configurations.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating:
The manual will specify the GVWR for safe operation and load capacity.
Operator Safety:
Designed with ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) and seatbelts for operator safety. Manual will detail safety precautions.
Braking System:
Hydraulically actuated, wet disc brakes for reliable stopping power. Manual will cover brake inspection and service.
Lighting Systems:
Standard and optional work lights, turn signals, and hazard lights for visibility. Manual includes wiring diagrams.
