Primary Engine Details:
The Agroplus series typically features Deutz inline 3-cylinder or 4-cylinder diesel engines. Specific engine models vary by Agroplus variant (75, 85, 95, 100). Engines are known for their reliability, fuel efficiency, and compliance with emission standards. Features commonly include turbocharged and intercooled induction, direct injection, and robust cooling systems.
Engine Cooling System:
Liquid-cooled system utilizing a radiator, fan, water pump, and thermostat for maintaining optimal operating temperatures. Regular checks of coolant level and condition are critical.
Engine Lubrication System:
Pressurized lubrication system employing an oil pump, oil filter, and oil passages to ensure all moving parts are adequately lubricated. Oil pressure monitoring is a key diagnostic parameter.
Engine Horsepower Range:
Approximate rated power output ranging from 75 HP (Agroplus 75) to 100 HP (Agroplus 100), with potential variations based on specific engine tunes and models.
Fuel System Type:
High-pressure common rail (HPCR) fuel injection system is common on later models, ensuring precise fuel delivery, improved combustion efficiency, and reduced emissions. Older models may feature mechanical or electronic unit injection systems.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically 500 hours, but always consult the specific manual for precise intervals based on operating conditions and fluid type. Includes checks for oil level, oil filter, and fuel filter replacement.
Transmission Oil Change Interval:
Recommended at intervals specified by Deutz-Fahr, often around 1200 hours, including changing the transmission and hydraulic filters. Specific intervals for hydrostatic drive components may differ.
Engine Oil Specification:
Commonly requires API CG-4 or higher, SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 engine oil, depending on ambient temperature. Transmission and hydraulic fluid specifications will also be detailed, often requiring specific AGROPLUS fluid or equivalent.
Hydraulic Fluid Specification:
Requires specialized tractor hydraulic fluid (UTF - Universal Tractor Transmission fluid) or specific Deutz-Fahr approved fluids, often with viscosity grades like UTTO SAE 10W-30 or 80W-90 depending on the system requirements and ambient temperature.
Common Issues:
While generally reliable, common wear items might include clutch components, brake pads/discs, and hydraulic seals. Electrical system connections and sensor accuracy can sometimes require attention. Regular maintenance as per the manual is key to preventing major issues.
