Engine Exclusion Note:
This manual specifically EXCLUDES engine-related diagnostics, repair, and specifications.
Horsepower Range Estimated:
AGROPLUS 75 (approx. 75 HP), AGROPLUS 85 (approx. 85 HP), AGROPLUS 95 (approx. 95 HP), AGROPLUS 100 (approx. 100 HP). Actual power output varies by specific engine configuration and emissions standards.
Fuel System Type Common:
Typically utilizes modern diesel injection systems (e.g., common rail) for efficient fuel delivery and emissions control. Specific details would be in engine manuals.
Transmission Options:
Often equipped with a 4WD powershuttle transmission with multiple speed ranges, potentially including a powershift (e.g., 3 or 4 gears) or synchronized mechanical gearbox options.
Optional Transmission Features:
May offer creeper gears, hydraulic powershift clutches, and electronic range selection for enhanced productivity and operator comfort.
Transmission Fluids:
Requires specialized tractor transmission and hydraulic fluid (e.g., UTTO - Universal Tractor Transmission Oil). Specific viscosity grades (e.g., SAE 10W-30, SAE 80W-90) and API classifications will be detailed in the manual. Capacities vary by model.
Pto Options:
Typically includes multiple PTO speed options (e.g., 540, 540E, 1000 RPM) for versatility with different implements.
Wheelbase Typical:
Varies by model but generally in the range of 2200-2500 mm.
Overall Length Typical:
Approximately 4000-4500 mm.
Overall Width Typical:
Approximately 1800-2200 mm (excluding fenders and mirrors).
Ground Clearance Typical:
Around 400-500 mm, depending on tire size and configuration.
Operating Weight Typical:
Ranging from approximately 3500 kg to 4500 kg, depending on model and fitted options.
Max Gross Weight Typical:
Typically around 6000-7000 kg.
Rollover Protection:
ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) is standard on most models, often with a falling-object protective structure (FOPS) option or integrated cab.
Braking System Type:
Hydraulic wet disc brakes, usually acting on the rear axle and front axle in 4WD mode. Independent parking brake mechanism.
Operator Station Design:
Designed with ergonomic controls, good visibility, and potentially safety features like seat interlocks and hazard warning lights.
Cabin Features:
Cabin models often feature advanced climate control (HVAC), comfortable seating, ergonomic control layouts, and good sound insulation. Infotainment systems are typically basic, focusing on functionality.
Traction Control Systems:
While not always present on basic models, advanced variants may offer features like differential locks, automatic engagement of front-wheel drive under slip conditions, and electronic PTO control.
Telematics Options:
Higher-spec models or optional packages might include basic telematics for fleet management or remote diagnostics, though this is less common on older utility models.
Transmission Oil Change Interval Typical:
Typically every 1000-1500 operating hours, but consult the manual for exact intervals. Also includes checks for filter condition.
Hydraulic Oil Change Interval Typical:
Similar to transmission oil, often 1000-1500 operating hours. Filter replacement is critical.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
UTTO (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) or STOU (Super Tractor Oil Universal) meeting specific manufacturer specifications (e.g., AGROPLUS requires specific DEUTZ FAHR approvals). Common grades include SAE 10W-30 or SAE 5W-30 for integrated hydraulic/transmission systems.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Same as hydraulic fluid (UTTO/STOU). Specific DEUTZ FAHR fluid approvals are crucial for maintaining warranty and performance.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze/coolant, typically a long-life formulation (e.g., OAT - Organic Acid Technology), meeting specific DEUTZ FAHR specifications. Mixture ratio with distilled water is critical.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch packs (in powershift transmissions), hydraulic pump wear, PTO clutch engagement, brake pad wear, and hydraulic cylinder seals can be common wear items over time depending on usage.
Electrical System Faults:
While generally robust, electrical connections, sensors, and control units can be susceptible to moisture ingress and vibration in agricultural environments, leading to intermittent faults. Troubleshooting is key.
Hydraulic System Performance:
Loss of hydraulic pressure, slow implement operation, or unintended drift can indicate worn pumps, leaking seals, or blockages in the hydraulic circuits. Regular fluid and filter changes are preventative.
