Cooling System Coolant:
Typically a 50/50 mix of permanent antifreeze and water, using a heavy-duty coolant suitable for diesel engines.
Transmission Type:
Likely a synchronized constant mesh gearbox with multiple forward and reverse gears. Specific variants (SL/SLE) might denote differences in transmission features.
Transmission Features:
SLE variant may indicate options like a Powershift or shuttle shift transmission for easier directional changes.
Pto Options:
Likely offers standard 540 RPM and potentially 1000 RPM PTO options, with engagement controlled by a separate lever or clutch.
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
Refer to manual for specific fluid type, likely a Universal Tractor Transmission Oil (UTTO) or a dedicated hydraulic fluid compatible with wet brakes and hydraulics.
Overall Length:
Not specified in product info, but typical for this class is around 140-160 inches.
Overall Width:
Not specified, varies with tire size but generally around 70-80 inches at the rear axle.
