Transmission Type:
The MF-8250 Xtra typically offered a Dyna-Shift, Dyna-Step, or similar powershift transmission for on-the-go gear changes.
Optional Transmission:
While powershift was common, other configurations might exist based on regional markets or specific build options.
Clutch Type:
Wet clutch packs for powershift operation.
Transmission Fluid:
Specific Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) or tractor hydraulic fluid (THF) specifications will be detailed in the manual. Likely requires a high-quality UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid).
Dimensions Comment:
Detailed dimensions (length, width, height, wheelbase) are specific to the tractor's configuration and will be provided in the manual.
Operating Weight:
Typically around 6,000 - 7,000 kg (unballasted), but varies significantly with options and attachments. Specific weight data will be in the manual.
Safety Compliance:
Tractor will be designed to meet relevant agricultural machinery safety standards (e.g., ROPS - Roll Over Protective Structure).
