⚙️ Engine Specifications

Primary Engine

Manufacturer:

Cummins (commonly used by Case IH for this class of tractor, though not explicitly stated, it's a strong industry likelihood)

Engine Family:

Likely a high-displacement inline-6 cylinder diesel engine, common in articulated tractors of this era (e.g., Cummins QSX series).

Performance

Potential Horsepower Range:

225 HP (PT 225 BC III) to 250 HP (PT 250 Cougar III), with higher power ratings often available in the Panther variants or through PTO configurations.

Fuel System

Type:

High-pressure common rail (HPCR) direct injection system is standard for modern diesel engines of this caliber, optimizing fuel efficiency and power output.

Emissions

Compliance:

Depending on the production year of the specific tractor, emissions compliance would align with Tier (e.g., Tier 3, Tier 4a) regulations of the era.

🔧 Transmission

Standard

Type:

Full Powershift (Powershift or Automatic Transmission) is the hallmark of this tractor class for seamless gear changes under load.

Optional

Type:

While less common, some high-horsepower tractors might offer specialized transmissions or configurations, though powershift is dominant.

Features

Gear Selection:

Multiple forward and reverse gears, typically 16F/2R or 18F/4R, with electronic shift controls for ease of use.

Fluid Specifications

Fluid Type:

Requires specialized tractor hydraulic fluid (THF) or UTTO (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) meeting Case IH specifications (e.g., MS-1207 or MS-1209 for older models, newer specs for Tier 4).

📐 Dimensions

Exterior

Articulation:

Articulated steering system for superior maneuverability in tight turns and field headlands.

Weights

Operating Weight:

Typically in the range of 20,000 - 30,000+ lbs (9,000 - 13,500+ kg) depending on configuration and ballast.

🛡️ Safety Features

Ratings

Operator Station:

ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) certified cab designed for operator safety and comfort.

Active Features

Braking System:

Hydraulically actuated, power-assisted brakes (often wet disc brakes) for reliable stopping power.

Lighting:

Comprehensive lighting package including headlights, taillights, and work lights for operation in various conditions.

Passive Features

Seatbelt:

Mandatory operator restraint system within the cab.

Warning Systems:

Audible and visual warnings for critical system faults or operational parameters.

💡 Technology Features

Infotainment

Features:

Basic operator stations likely focused on functionality; may include AM/FM radio, and work lighting controls. Advanced infotainment is typically not a primary focus for this class of tractor.

Driver Assistance

Features:

Features like electronic draft control (EDC) for implement management, and potential for GPS guidance integration on higher spec models.

Connectivity

Features:

May include diagnostic ports (e.g., OBD) for service connectivity. Advanced telematics or ISOBus compatibility may be present on later models.

🔧 Maintenance

Service Intervals

Engine Oil Change:

Typically every 250-500 hours, depending on operating conditions and oil analysis.

Hydraulic Filter Change:

Recommended every 500-1000 hours or as per fluid analysis.

Transmission Oil Change:

Varies by model and fluid type, often between 1000-2000 hours for powershift transmissions.

200 Hour Check:

Specific list of inspection and lubrication points to be performed every 200 operating hours as detailed in the manual.

Fluid Specifications

Engine Oil Type:

CJ-4 or CK-4 rated diesel engine oil with appropriate viscosity (e.g., 15W-40 or 10W-30) based on ambient temperature and manufacturer recommendation.

Coolant Type:

Esky or OAT (Organic Acid Technology) coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water, meeting Case IH specifications.

Hydraulic Fluid Capacity:

Significant capacity, often exceeding 30 gallons (115+ liters) for the main hydraulic reservoir.

Known Issues

Common Wear Items:

Hydraulic system components, PTO clutch packs, transmission components, and electrical connectors can be subject to wear with heavy use.

Potential Diagnostics:

Transmission pressure issues, hydraulic system leaks, and engine diagnostic codes are common areas for troubleshooting.
