Engine Type:
Likely indirect or direct injection diesel engines. Specific displacement and model vary by TH4260, TH4290, TH4330.
Engine Manufacturer:
Likely Iseki or a partner manufacturer (e.g., Mitsubishi).
Horsepower Range:
Estimated to be in the 26-33 HP range, varying by model (TH4260 ~26 HP, TH4290 ~29 HP, TH4330 ~33 HP).
Injection:
Mechanical Injection Pump (likely rotary or inline).
Transmission Type:
Likely a gear-shift transmission with multiple forward and reverse gears (e.g., 8F/4R or similar). Some models may offer hydrostatic transmission (HST) as an option, though this manual focuses on the core transmission system.
Optional Transmission:
Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) might be an option on some variants, but the service manual would detail the primary transmission covered.
Pto:
Rear Power Take-Off (PTO), likely 540 RPM standard. Mid-PTO may be available on certain configurations.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100 or 200 hours of operation, or annually. Specific interval is detailed in the manual.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended at regular intervals, often tied to hours or annually, detailed in manual.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 200-400 hours or annually. Manual will specify fluid type and interval.
Engine Oil:
API CE/CF or similar (e.g., 15W-40 diesel engine oil). Check manual for exact API rating and viscosity.
Hydraulic Fluid:
UTTO (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) or ISO VG 46 hydraulic oil. Manual will specify precise type and viscosity.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze mixture, typically 50/50 with distilled water. Manual specifies capacity and type.
Common Wear Items:
Potential wear on clutch, PTO components, hydraulic seals, and aging electrical connections due to operational hours and environment.
Maintenance Importance:
Regular adherence to maintenance schedules is critical for preventing premature wear and ensuring longevity of these robust machines.
Heritage:
Iseki is a well-established Japanese manufacturer known for its agricultural machinery, including a long history of producing compact tractors and related equipment.
Series Placement:
The TH series represents Iseki's offering in the utility compact tractor market, designed for versatility and reliability in demanding tasks.
Production Years:
Specific production years for these models are not explicitly stated in the product info but are generally from the early to mid-2000s era or similar, based on typical Iseki model cycles.
