Electro-hydraulic controls for powershift gears.
Transmission Fluid Type:
AGCO Fluid Premium (or equivalent Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid - UTTO) - Specific grade to be confirmed in manual.
Transmission Fluid Capacity Approx:
Varies by model, typically 20-30 liters (5-8 gallons) for the main transmission/hydraulic reservoir.
Wheelbase Approx:
Varies by model, generally in the range of 2.5-2.8 meters (98-110 inches).
Operating Weight Approx:
6,000 - 8,000 kg (13,000 - 17,500 lbs) depending on configuration and ballast.
