⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Details:

While specific engine repair information is NOT included in this manual, the TJ series tractors were typically powered by high-displacement Cummins or Case IH engines. For model TJ 530, this would commonly refer to a ~12.0L or similar displacement engine, likely a Cummins QSX series, delivering significant horsepower and torque.

Typical Horsepower Range:

300+ HP (TJ 530 likely around 500+ HP rating).

Fuel System Type:

Turbocharged, Intercooled, Diesel (Specific fuel injection system details would be found in a dedicated engine service manual).

Engine Repair Scope:

NOTE: Engine repair information is NOT contained within this specific tractor Service Manual. A separate engine-specific service manual is required for in-depth engine diagnostics and overhaul.

🔧 Transmission

Transmission Type:

Powershift (e.g., 16x4 or 18x4 configurations for these models).

Optional Features:

Advanced powershift logic and control systems.

Transmission Features:

Features for smooth gear changes under load, operator comfort, and efficient power transfer.

📐 Dimensions

Exterior Dimensions:

Varies by specific model variant (TJ 280 to TJ 530). Articulated chassis contributes to a large turning radius. Overall length, width, and height depend on tire configuration and specific options.

Operating Weight:

Substantial, typically exceeding 20,000 lbs (9,072 kg) and can reach upwards of 30,000 lbs (13,608 kg) with ballast.
