Transmission Type:
Hydrostatic Transmission (HST)
Hst Features:
Infinitely variable speed control, forward and reverse pedal operation, cruise control functionality (often).
Transmission Fluid Type:
Hydraulic Oil / Tractor Transmission Oil (e.g., UTTO - Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) meeting specific viscosity and performance standards. Refer to manual for precise specifications and brand recommendations.
Overall Length:
Varies by specific configuration, but generally in the range of 10-12 feet. Refer to manual for exact dimensions.
Overall Width:
Varies by tire configuration, typically 5-6 feet. Refer to manual for exact dimensions.
Operating Weight:
Likely in the range of 2,500 - 3,500 lbs (depending on configuration and loader presence). Refer to manual for exact specifications.
Infotainment System:
Basic dashboard instrumentation (tachometer, hour meter, coolant temperature, fuel level). Advanced infotainment is not typical for this class of tractor.
Driver Assistance Features:
Hydrostatic transmission provides ease of operation and speed control. Cruise control (if equipped) aids in maintaining a set speed.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically 50-100 hours or annually. Refer to manual for precise interval and oil specification.
Hydraulic Fluid Change Interval:
Typically 500-1000 hours or every 1-2 years. Refer to manual for precise interval and fluid specification.
Fuel Filter Replacement Interval:
Refer to manual, often tied to hours or as needed based on fuel quality.
Engine Oil Type:
Diesel engine oil, likely API CJ-4 or equivalent, with specific viscosity grade (e.g., 15W-40). Refer to manual for precise specifications.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant with appropriate anti-corrosion additives. Refer to manual for mixture ratio and specifications.
Common Issues:
Potential issues can include wear on hydrostatic pump/motor components with high hours, hydraulic leaks, and electrical connection corrosion. Specific issues and troubleshooting are detailed in the manual.
Brand Heritage:
Landini is an Italian tractor manufacturer with a long history dating back to the early 20th century, known for robust and reliable agricultural machinery.
Model Evolution:
The Mistral series is a line of compact tractors developed to meet the needs of smaller farms, nurseries, and grounds maintenance. The 'America' designation indicates a model series specifically configured for the North American market, potentially with different features or specifications.
