Engine Models Covered:
Engines specific to JX55, JX65, JX75, JX85, JX95 models; horsepower ratings vary by model (e.g., JX55 typically around 55 hp, JX95 around 95 hp).
Engine Horsepower Range:
From approximately 55 HP for the JX55 to around 95 HP for the JX95.
Engine Torque Characteristics:
Designed for strong lugging ability at lower RPMs, typical for agricultural applications.
Fuel System Type:
Indirect Injection or Common Rail (depending on specific model and year; likely a mix across the series).
Cooling System Type:
Liquid-cooled, typically with a radiator, fan, and coolant reservoir.
Ignition System:
Compression ignition (Diesel).
Standard Transmission Type:
Mechanical Synchromesh (12F/12R) or constant mesh transmissions were common in this series.
Optional Transmission Type:
Some models may have offered power shuttle or creeper gear options.
Transmission Features:
Robust, field-proven transmissions designed for durability in agricultural work.
Exterior Dimensions:
Vary by specific model and configuration (e.g., ROPS vs. cab). Typical overall length ~3.5-4 meters, width ~1.8-2.2 meters, height ~2.5-2.7 meters (to top of ROPS/cab).
Operating Weight:
Approximately 2,500 kg to 3,500 kg (unballasted), depending on model and specifications.

Basic tractor control panel with essential gauges (engine temp, fuel, oil pressure, tachometer). Advanced infotainment systems are not typically found in this series.
Driver Assistance Features:
Focus is on operator ergonomics and functional controls rather than electronic driver assistance systems.
Connectivity Features:
None typically integrated; designed for mechanical operation.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 250 or 500 operating hours, depending on engine type and operating conditions (refer to manual for exact interval).
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 500 operating hours or annually, or as per manual's directive.
Hydraulic Fluid Change Interval:
Typically every 1000 operating hours or annually.
Engine Oil Specification:
API CG-4 or higher, SAE 15W-40 viscosity grade is common. Always refer to the manual for precise specifications.
