Likely common rail direct injection (CRDI) for improved fuel efficiency, emissions control, and power delivery.
Cooling Type:
Pressurized liquid cooling system, requiring specific coolant formulations and regular checks.
Oil Type:
Requires high-quality heavy-duty diesel engine oil, typically API CJ-4 or CK-4, with specific viscosity grades (e.g., 15W-40) based on ambient temperature.
Transmission Type:
Likely a powershift or full powershift transmission (e.g., 16x16, 18x18, 19x19) providing multiple gear ratios and on-the-go shifting.
Crawl Gear:
Possibility of a creeper gear option for very low-speed precision operations.
Shift Control:
Electronic or electro-hydraulic controls for gear selection, often including automatic shifting modes.
Transmission Fluid:
Specific hydraulic/transmission fluid (e.g., UTTO - Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) with specified viscosity and additive packages.
Wheelbase:
Variable depending on configuration, but typically substantial for stability and traction in heavy work.
Operating Weight:
Substantial, likely in the range of 8,000-10,000 kg (17,600-22,000 lbs) before ballast and implements.

Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Similar to transmission fluid, usually between 1000-1500 hours, critical for system longevity.
Coolant Type:
Extended life coolant (ELC) or traditional green/yellow antifreeze, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Grease Type:
General purpose lithium-based grease for lubrication points (zerks).
Electrical Connectors:
As with many modern tractors, a potential for corrosion or loose connections in electrical harnesses, requiring periodic inspection and cleaning.
Hydraulic Seals:
