Make Model:
SAME (specific engine series not provided, common for this era would be SAME-built engines, likely 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel)
Rubin 160:
Likely around 160 HP, potentially 6-cylinder diesel
Rubin 180:
Likely around 180 HP, potentially 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel
Rubin 200:
Likely around 200 HP, potentially 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel with intercooler
Torque Characteristics:
Expected to have strong low-end torque suitable for heavy agricultural work.
Injection Type:
Likely mechanical or electronic unit injector (EUI) diesel injection system.
Type:
Liquid-cooled, likely with a robust radiator and fan system.
Gearbox Type:
Likely a powershift transmission (e.g., 4-speed powershift with 4 ranges), providing multiple forward gears for various field conditions.
Clutch:
Dual-clutch system for powershift engagement and PTO operation.
Creeper Gears:
Optional slow-speed creeper gears for very precise fieldwork or specialized applications.
Pto Options:
Multiple PTO speeds (e.g., 540/1000 RPM) likely standard or optional.
Hydraulic Lift:
Integrated hydraulic system with rear three-point hitch (Category III or IV) for implement control.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Typically SAE 10W-30 or SAE 20W-30 universal tractor transmission fluid (UTTO) or specified hydraulic oil.
Wheelbase:
Significant wheelbase typical for high-horsepower tractors, contributing to stability.
Operating Weight:
Heavy-duty construction, likely exceeding 6,000 kg (13,000 lbs) for base models, increasing with features.
Axle Load Capacity:
High axle load capacities to handle heavy implements and field conditions.
Dashboard Features:
Basic analog gauges for engine speed, oil pressure, temperature, fuel level, and warning lights. May include hour meter.
Pto Engagement:
Manual PTO engagement lever, with potential for electronic PTO control on later models.
Diagnostic Ports:
Diagnostic port for electronic fault detection (if equipped with electronic engine control).
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, or annually, depending on operating conditions.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 500-1000 operating hours, with filter replacement at each interval.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
As per manual recommendations, often every 250-500 hours or when issues arise.
Engine Oil Viscosity:
Commonly API CG-4 or CH-4 rated diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 is typical for this era.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Hydraulic Performance:
Potential for reduced hydraulic pressure or sluggishness if hydraulic pump wear or fluid contamination occurs.
Electrical Connections:
Corrosion or wear on electrical connectors, especially in humid or dusty environments, can lead to intermittent faults.
Transmission Engagement:
Powershift engagement issues might arise from worn clutch packs or hydraulic control valve problems.
Manufacturer:
SAME (Società Accomandita per Azioni Elettromeccanica) is an Italian manufacturer with a long history in agricultural machinery.
Rubin Series:
The Rubin series represented SAME's higher-horsepower offerings, designed for demanding agricultural tasks in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Production Period:
Likely produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Exact model years covered by the manual would depend on specific revisions.
