Engine Manufacturer:
Likely DEUTZ (as per brand name), or potentially other reputable diesel engine suppliers common in agricultural equipment.
Engine Type:
Diesel, naturally aspirated or turbocharged (specifics depend on model variant F60, F70, F80, F90).
Horsepower Range:
Expected range based on model designation: F60 (approx. 60 HP), F70 (approx. 70 HP), F80 (approx. 80 HP), F90 (approx. 90 HP). Exact figures vary by specific engine variant and configuration.
Torque Characteristics:
Designed for high torque at low RPMs, essential for agricultural pulling power. Specific torque curves and peak values will be detailed in the manual.
Injection System:
Likely mechanical or electronic unit injector (EUI) or common rail diesel (CRD) systems, depending on the age and technology of the specific AGROCOMPACT models.
Fuel Filters:
Details on primary and secondary fuel filter replacement and specifications.
Transmission Type:
Likely a mechanically controlled gearbox with multiple forward and reverse gears. May include synchronized shifting. PTO (Power Take-Off) options are standard on tractors.
Optional Features:
Potential for creeper gears, synchronized reverser, or specific PTO speeds (e.g., 540/1000 RPM). Some models might have options for powershift elements depending on the era.
Clutch Type:
Typically a dry, single or dual-plate clutch for main transmission engagement.
Transmission Fluid:
Specific SAE viscosity grade and API service classification for transmission oil will be detailed in the manual. Often a multi-purpose tractor hydraulic fluid (UTTO/THF) might be used in the transmission, hydraulics, and wet brakes.
Wheelbase:
Varies by model (F60-F90). Specific measurements will be in the manual.
Overall Length:
Varies by model. Manual will provide exact figures.
Overall Width:
Varies by model and tire configuration. Manual will detail typical widths.
Ground Clearance:
Designed for agricultural use, with sufficient ground clearance for field operations. Specifics depend on tire size and axle configuration.
Operating Weight:
Varies by model and fitted options (e.g., ROPS, cab, front weights). Manual will provide base operating weights and allow for calculation of configurations.
Max Allowable Weight:
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) will be specified in the manual.
Safety Standards:
Designed to meet relevant agricultural machinery safety standards of the era of manufacture. Manual will include safety warnings and procedures.
Operator Presence System:
Likely features a safety switch on the seat or clutch to disengage PTO/transmission when the operator leaves the seat.
Parking Brake:
Essential active safety feature for securing the tractor when parked.
Rollover Protection Structure Rops:
Likely available with or designed to accept a ROPS frame or safety cabin, crucial for operator protection.
Seatbelts:
If equipped with a cab or a ROPS with a seat, seatbelts are a standard passive safety feature.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, depending on operating conditions and oil quality. Exact intervals specified in manual.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended at regular intervals or when issues arise, typically aligned with oil change intervals or based on operating hours.
Air Filter Service:
Regular inspection and cleaning/replacement, frequency dependent on dusty operating conditions.
Hydraulic Oil Change:
Typically every 1000-2000 operating hours, with filter changes at more frequent intervals.
