Primary Engine:
Diesel engine (specific manufacturer and model not provided in product description; typically Perkins, Sonalika, or similar for this class of tractor). Engine sizes will vary across the Powerfarm 60-105 range.
Performance:
Horsepower ratings likely range from approximately 60 HP for the Powerfarm 60 to 105 HP for the Powerfarm 105. Torque figures and specific RPMs for peak power are detailed within the manual.
Fuel System:
Likely a direct injection diesel fuel system with mechanical or electronic fuel injection pumps. Fuel filter specifications and replacement intervals are critical and found in the manual.
Cooling System:
Pressurized liquid cooling system with radiator, fan, water pump, and thermostat. Coolant type and capacity are specified.
Lubrication System:
Forced lubrication via oil pump, oil filter, and oil cooler (if equipped). Oil type, viscosity, and capacity are crucial for engine longevity, detailed in the manual.
Standard:
Likely a mechanical or powershift transmission. Options might include 2WD or 4WD configurations.
Optional:
Possible options could include creeper gears, shuttle shift, or different transmission speeds depending on the specific model and market. Transmission fluid type and capacity are specified.
Features:
Gear selection, clutch operation, PTO engagement, and differential lock operation are core transmission features detailed for optimal use and maintenance.
Exterior:
Overall dimensions (length, width, height) and wheelbase will vary significantly across the Powerfarm 60-105 range. Specific measurements are provided in the manual's 'Specifications' section.
Weights:
Operating weight (tare weight) and gross vehicle weight (GVW) will vary. Maximum allowable towing capacity and front/rear axle weights are specified for safe operation and transport.
Tire Sizes:
Tire sizes for front and rear axles will vary depending on the model variant and intended application. Recommended tire pressures are critical for performance and longevity, detailed in the manual.

Specifies required engine oil viscosity (e.g., SAE 15W-40), transmission/hydraulic fluid type (e.g., UTF - Universal Tractor Fluid, or specific ISO grades), coolant type and mixture ratio (e.g., 50/50 ethylene glycol/water), and grease types for lubrication points. Capacities for all fluid reservoirs are also provided.
Grease Type:
General-purpose lithium-based grease (e.g., NLGI #2) for most lubrication points, with specific recommendations for high-temperature or extreme pressure applications if required.
Known Issues:
Common issues in utility tractors of this era can include wear on clutch components, hydraulic system leaks, electrical connector corrosion, and common diesel engine maintenance needs (e.g., injector servicing, glow plug checks). The manual will guide owners through diagnosing and rectifying these.
Lubrication Points:
The manual will illustrate all grease points, including steering components, hitch linkages, pivot points, and PTO shaft U-joints, with recommended lubrication types and frequencies.
