Diagrams And Illustrations:
Includes detailed exploded views, schematics, and wiring diagrams essential for accurate repairs.
Specifications And Tolerances:
Provides precise torque values, clearances, fluid capacities, and wear tolerances for all components.
Transmission Type Standard:
Deutz-Fahr TTV (Continuously Variable Transmission) is a hallmark of this series, offering stepless speed control.
Transmission Type Optional:
Some variants may have offered a Powershift transmission option, though TTV is more characteristic of the MK3.
Pto Speeds:
Multiple PTO speeds (e.g., 540/540E/1000/1000E RPM) with electro-hydraulic engagement.
Cabin Features:
Advanced climate control, comfortable seating, ergonomic controls, and potentially a basic radio/CD player.
E H R:
Electronic Hydraulic Regulation (EHR) for precise implement control, including draft and position control.
Pto Management:
Automated PTO engagement and speed management functions.
Diagnostic Ports:
On-board diagnostics (OBD) port for connection to diagnostic tools, likely a proprietary Deutz-Fahr interface or standard ISOBUS if equipped.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 500 or 600 operating hours, depending on operating conditions and oil specification. Manual will confirm precise intervals.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Recommended every 1200 or 1500 operating hours. Manual will specify.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended at 250-500 hour intervals, or as per warning indicators.
Engine Oil Specification:
Typically API CG-4 or CH-4, SAE 15W-40 or 10W-40. Manual will specify exact API/ACEA ratings and viscosity grades.
Hydraulic Fluid Specification:
Deutz-Fahr recommends specific hydraulic fluids, often STOU (Super Tractor Oil Universal) or UTTO (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) meeting certain specifications like AGROPLUS XS or similar. Manual will specify exact OEM part numbers or specifications.
Coolant Specification:
Proprietary Deutz-Fahr coolant or equivalent with appropriate anti-freeze/anti-corrosion properties, typically a long-life OAT (Organic Acid Technology) coolant.
Common Concerns:
Potential areas for wear include hydraulic pump performance, CVT drive belts/components, and electronic sensor reliability. The manual will detail diagnostics for these.
