Around 2500-3000 lbs (1135-1360 kg).
Drawbar Horsepower Estimated:
Typically around 15-20 HP.
Rollover Protection:
Original models may not have come standard with ROPS (Rollover Protective Structure) or seatbelts. It's a critical safety upgrade often added by owners. The manual would detail ROPS installation if applicable.
Braking System:
Mechanical drum brakes on rear wheels, operated by foot pedals which can be locked together.
Operator Station Design:
Designed with operator visibility and control access in mind for its era. Seatbelt anchor points may be present.
Dashboard Features:
Basic instrumentation: Tachometer, engine temperature gauge, oil pressure warning light, battery charge warning light, fuel gauge, and hour meter.
Steering System:
Manual steering or optional power steering system, depending on configuration. (Manual will detail maintenance and repair for both).
Implement Control:
Standard Category 1, 3-point hitch for implements. PTO shaft for driving implements. Hydraulic remotes may be available for auxiliary functions.
Engine Oil And Filter Change:
Typically every 50-100 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first. (Exact interval in manual).
Transmission And Hydraulic Fluid:
Recommended change every 200-400 operating hours, or annually. (Exact interval in manual).
Greasing Points:
Daily or weekly greasing of pivot points, steering components, and PTO shaft is critical. (Specific points detailed in manual).
