⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Type:

Likely turbocharged, direct-injection diesel engines, common for this era and horsepower class. Specific engine models and configurations (e.g., 4-cylinder, 6-cylinder) would be detailed within the manual.

Horsepower Range:

Models 8110-8160 suggest a range of power outputs, likely from approximately 110 HP (8110) up to 160 HP (8160). Specific figures per model would be in the manual.

Fuel Delivery:

Expected to feature advanced diesel fuel injection systems for the time, potentially including electronic control for improved efficiency and emissions.

Emission Controls:

Depending on the target market and year of manufacture, may include early forms of emission control systems relevant to diesel engines of the period.

Type:

Pressurized liquid cooling system with a radiator, fan, water pump, and thermostat.

🔧 Transmission

Transmission Type:

Likely to feature advanced transmission options for the era, such as powershift or semi-powershift transmissions (e.g., Dyna-shift, Auto-shift) for ease of operation and optimized power delivery. Specific gear configurations would be detailed.

Transmission Options:

May include a standard manual transmission and more advanced electronic or hydraulic powershift options, depending on the specific model variant and configuration. Manual would cover all options.

Power Take Off:

Coverage of PTO engagement, speeds (e.g., 540, 1000 RPM), and associated systems.

📐 Dimensions

Length:

Specifications for overall length would vary by model, but typical for tractors of this class, likely in the range of 4.5-5.5 meters.

Width:

Variable depending on tire fitment and tractor configuration, generally around 2-3 meters.

Operating Weight:

Operating weight would vary significantly by model, typically ranging from 5,000 kg to 8,000 kg, depending on chassis and implement configurations.

🛡️ Safety Features

Rollover Protection:

Tractors of this era typically came standard with ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structures) and seat belts. Manual would detail safety checks and maintenance for these.

Braking System:

Hydraulically actuated braking systems, potentially with power assist and self-adjusting features. Park brake also covered.

Lighting And Signals:

Coverage of headlamps, taillights, turn signals, and warning beacons as part of the electrical system.

💡 Technology Features

Tractors of this era primarily focused on functionality over infotainment. Likely features would include basic radio options and robust control interfaces for tractor functions.

Cruise Control:

Some higher-spec models may have featured basic cruise control functions for engine RPM management.

N A:

No modern connectivity features like Bluetooth or GPS would be expected.

🔧 Maintenance

Engine Oil And Filter:

Typical intervals would be every 250-500 operating hours, depending on operating conditions and oil type. Specific recommendations and part numbers are in the manual.

Hydraulic Fluid And Filter:

Recommended service intervals are usually around 1000-2000 operating hours. Manual will specify exact intervals and filter part numbers.

Engine Oil:
