Engine Type:
Heavy-duty diesel engines
Typical Horsepower Range:
Approximately 70-120 HP, varying by specific model (8160, 8260, 8360, 8560).
Engine Displacement:
Typically 4.0L to 6.0L diesel engines, specific to model variant.
Injection System:
Mechanical or electronic fuel injection (likely mechanical for earlier models, potentially electronic for later).
Transmission Type Standard:
Likely a Power Command (Powershift) or Electro Command (Semi-Powershift) transmission, offering multiple forward and reverse gears and on-the-go shifting.

Potentially a standard Synchro Shuttle or a Full Powershift option for certain configurations.
Powershift Capability:
On-the-go shifting without disengaging the clutch, enhancing productivity.
Clutch Type:
Wet multi-disc clutch for engagement and powershift functions.
Shift Lever Designation:
Leverage for powershift or electro-command selection, shuttle lever for direction changes.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically 250-500 hours, depending on operating conditions and oil type specified in the manual.
Hydraulic Fluid Change Interval:
Generally 1000-1500 hours, with inline filter changes at more frequent intervals.
Transmission Fluid Change Interval:
Refer to manual, often similar to hydraulic system or as per specific transmission type, likely 1000-1500 hours.
Engine Oil Specification:
API CD/CE/CF or higher, SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on ambient temperature (refer to manual for precise spec).
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid Specification:
UTTO (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) or specified NH specific fluid, e.g., NH 134 Hydraulic Fluid.
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, typically 50/50 mix with distilled water. Refer to manual for exact type and capacity.
Brake Fluid Specification:
Likely DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid for master cylinder, but clutch/transmission fluid often serves hydraulic brakes.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch packs, hydraulic pump wear, PTO clutch engagement, and electrical connector corrosion can be common maintenance points.
Transmission Performance:
Powershift solenoids or clutch pack wear can lead to hesitant shifting or loss of drive in powershift transmissions.
