โ๏ธ Engine Specifications
Engine Type:
Diesel, naturally aspirated or turbocharged, depending on specific Laser model (110, 130, 150) and variant. Likely SAME-designed or Deutz-manufactured engines.
Horsepower Range:
Varies by model, with Laser 110, 130, and 150 indicating approximate horsepower ratings. Expect models in the 90-150 HP range, e.g., Laser 110 around 110 HP, Laser 150 around 150 HP.
Torque Specifications:
Specific torque figures would be detailed within the manual for engine components, crankshafts, connecting rods, cylinder heads, etc.
Injection System:
Typically mechanical or electronic direct injection systems, with specific pump and injector details provided.
Cooling Type:
Liquid-cooled, with specifications for coolant type, capacity, and thermostat operation.
Oil Capacity:
Engine oil capacity, oil filter part numbers, and recommended SAE viscosity grades will be provided.
Gearbox Type:
Mechanical synchronized gearbox, likely with multiple forward and reverse gears, possibly featuring a creeper gear or powershift options on higher-end models.
Powershift Options:
Some Laser models may have offered optional powershift (e.g., 2-speed powershift) for on-the-go gear changes.
Clutch Type:
Dual-clutch system (one for PTO, one for transmission) or single-stage clutch, with detailed adjustment and maintenance procedures.
Transmission Oil Type:
Specific SAE grades and API classifications for transmission and hydraulic oil (often a shared hydraulic fluid system).
Instrument Cluster:
Basic analog gauges for engine RPM, speed, fuel, temperature, and oil pressure. Warning lights for critical functions.
Pto Engagement Control:
Manual or electronic PTO engagement controls for various PTO speeds (e.g., 540/1000 RPM).
Hitch Control:
Mechanical or electro-hydraulic controls for the 3-point hitch system, including draft and position control.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, with specific intervals detailed in the manual.
Hydraulic Filter Change:
Recommended replacement intervals for hydraulic and transmission filters will be specified.
Air Filter Maintenance:
Procedures for cleaning or replacing air filter elements based on operating conditions.
Engine Oil Grade:
Likely API CG-4 or CH-4 diesel engine oil, with specific viscosity grades (e.g., SAE 15W-40) provided.
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid Spec:
Often UTTO (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) or a specified hydraulic fluid meeting SAME standards, e.g., SAE 80W/85W or specific fluid designations.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze/coolant mixture, with specified concentration ratios and change intervals.
Common Wear Items:
Potential wear on clutch friction plates, hydraulic pump components, PTO clutch packs, and front axle kingpins.
Electrical Gremlins:
Corrosion on connectors, particularly in older models, can lead to intermittent electrical faults. Wiring harness integrity checks are important.
Hydraulic Performance:
Gradual loss of hydraulic lift capacity or slower response can indicate wear in the hydraulic pump, cylinders, or valve spools.
Oil Filter Part Number:
Specific part numbers for oil, fuel, and hydraulic filters will be crucial and available in the manual (e.g., Mann-Filter, Baldwin, or original SAME part numbers).
Manufacturer Origin:
SAME (Societร Accomandita Emiliana) is an Italian manufacturer of agricultural machinery, known for its robust and reliable tractors.
