โ๏ธ Engine Specifications
Engine Manufacturer:
Same (or potentially licensed engines from other reputable manufacturers like SDF Group)
Engine Configuration:
Typically 3-cylinder or 4-cylinder diesel engines.
Displacement Range:
Likely in the range of 2.5 to 4.0 liters, varying by model variant (e.g., 55hp to 85hp).
Horsepower Range:
55 HP to 85 HP (as indicated by model numbers: 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 85).
Fuel Injection:
Typically direct injection, with mechanical or electronically controlled fuel pumps.
Cooling Type:
Liquid-cooled (water/antifreeze).
Oil Type:
API CF or CE rated multi-grade diesel engine oil, typically SAE 15W-40. Specific viscosity may vary with ambient temperature.
Emissions Standards:
Varies by production year and region, potentially meeting Tier II, Tier III, or Stage IIIA/IIIB emissions regulations depending on the era.
Transmission Type:
Manual transmission with synchronized or unsynchronized gearboxes.
Optional Gearbox:
Possible options may include creeper gears or powershift (hydroshift) ranges on some higher-spec models or later versions.
Gear Selection:
Typically offers multiple forward gears (e.g., 12 forward, 12 reverse with a high-low splitter) and reverse gears.
Clutch:
Dry single-plate or double-plate clutch, operated by a foot pedal.
Pto System:
Rear Power Take-Off (PTO) is standard, often with multiple speeds (e.g., 540 RPM and 1000 RPM). May also have a ground-speed PTO.
Hydraulic Transmission:
Not a hydrostatic transmission; power is transmitted mechanically through gears and clutch.
Overall Length:
Variable by model, typically around 3.8 - 4.2 meters (149 - 165 inches).
Overall Width:
Variable, generally around 1.7 - 2.0 meters (67 - 79 inches) depending on tire size.
Wheelbase:
Variable, approximately 2.0 - 2.2 meters (79 - 87 inches).
Operating Weight:
Typically between 2,500 kg to 3,500 kg (5,500 lbs to 7,700 lbs), depending on configuration and ballast.
Front Axle Weight:
Approx. 1,000 - 1,300 kg.
Rear Axle Weight:
Approx. 1,500 - 2,200 kg.
Tow Rating:
Specifications vary widely and are subject to local regulations and specific hitch types.
Rollover Protection:
ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) is typically standard or optional, often a frame with a canopy or a fully enclosed cab.
Seatbelt:
Seatbelt integrated with ROPS or cab.
Brakes:
Hydraulically actuated wet disc brakes (rear axle), mechanical parking brake.
4Wd:
Four-wheel drive is often a standard or selectable feature, enhancing traction and stability.

Headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals (depending on configuration), and work lights.
Operator Presence:
Operator presence lever or switch to disengage PTO/transmission when operator is not seated.
Instrument Cluster:
Basic analog gauges for engine RPM, speed, fuel level, coolant temperature, and warning lights.

Air Filter Replacement:
Check and clean frequently, replace as needed or at recommended intervals (e.g., annually or based on operating hours/conditions).
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically every 500 hours or annually. Bleeding the fuel system after replacement is crucial.
Hydraulic Oil Change:
Usually every 1000 hours or every 2 years. Fluid quality is critical for the hydraulic lift and steering systems.
Engine Oil Capacity:

Transmission Gear Oil:
Check manual for specific type and viscosity (e.g., SAE 80W-90 GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil, or specific UTTO if shared with hydraulic system).
Electrical Gremlins:
Older models may experience issues with wiring harness degradation, switch failures, or corroded connections, especially in damp environments.
Hydraulic System Performance:
Loss of lift, slow response, or pump whine can indicate worn seals, low fluid levels, or a failing hydraulic pump/filter.
Clutch Wear:
Slipping clutch or difficulty engaging gears can point to worn clutch plates or improper adjustment.
Cooling System Leaks:
Radiator, hose, or water pump leaks can lead to overheating if not addressed promptly.
Manufacturer Origin:
Same (Societร Accomandita per Azioni SAME) is an Italian manufacturer founded in 1942, now part of the SDF Group (SAME Deutz-Fahr).
