Injection System:
Likely mechanical or electronic direct injection (e.g., Bosch, Delphi) depending on emissions standards and year.
Transmission Type:
Often available with a synchronized shuttle transmission (e.g., 12x12 or 16x16) or a hydrostatic transmission (HST) for ease of operation.
Optional Transmission:
Hydrostatic transmission (HST) is a common option for enhanced maneuverability and variable speed control.
Pto Options:
Standard 540 RPM PTO, often with an optional 540/1000 RPM PTO.
Overall Length:
Estimated 3.5-4.0 meters (11.5-13.1 feet), varies by configuration (e.g., with/without front loader).
Overall Width:
Estimated 1.7-2.0 meters (5.6-6.6 feet), depends on tire size and axle width.
Wheelbase:
Estimated 2.0-2.2 meters (6.6-7.2 feet).
Operating Weight:
Typically around 2000-2500 kg (4400-5500 lbs) without ballast or front loader.
Operator Interface:
Basic analog gauges for engine speed, temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. Simple lever controls for transmission and hydraulics.
Assist Systems:
Limited to power steering and the functionality of the hydraulic hitch control (draft control, position control).
Connectivity Features:
No electronic connectivity features like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Designed for mechanical and basic electrical operation.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, or annually, whichever comes first. Exact interval depends on oil type and operating conditions.
Air Filter Replacement:
Check at 100 hours, replace as needed or annually. Dusty conditions require more frequent checks.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically every 500 operating hours or annually. Prime system after replacement.
Engine Oil Type:
API CF or CH-4 rated diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 is common. Consult manual for exact viscosity based on ambient temperature.
