⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Manufacturer:

SAME (Typically utilizes engines from its own or related SDF Group brands, or reputable third-party suppliers common in agricultural machinery).

Engine Type:

Diesel, naturally aspirated or turbocharged, 3-cylinder or 4-cylinder variants depending on specific model (66, 76, 86).

Displacement:

Expected to range from approximately 3.0L to 4.5L, depending on the specific model and engine configuration. (Exact figures depend on engine code, not specified.)

Horsepower Range:

Approx. 65-85 HP (Flywheel), aligning with the '66', '76', '86' designations.

Torque Characteristics:

Designed for strong low-end torque crucial for pulling heavy loads and operating implements at lower ground speeds.

Fuel Type:

Diesel Fuel

Injection System:

Inline injection pump or rotary injection pump (common in this era of diesel engines), with mechanical or electronic controls depending on exact model year and emissions standards.

Cooling Method:

Liquid-cooled

🔧 Transmission

Transmission Type:

Power Shuttle Transmission (Synchromesh gearbox with hydraulic clutch pack for forward/reverse directional changes without clutching main gearbox gears).

Optional Transmissions:

Potentially a standard synchromesh gearbox without Power Shuttle for base models, or creeper gears. (Not explicitly stated in product info.)

Gear Configurations:

Likely offers multiple forward and reverse speeds, with a selection of main gearbox gears and a range splitter, enhanced by the Power Shuttle for immediate direction changes.

📐 Dimensions

Wheelbase:

Variable, typically around 2000-2200 mm for utility tractors of this class. (Specific figures would be in the manual).

Operating Weight:

Typically in the range of 2500-3500 kg, depending on configuration and fitted options. (Specific figures would be in the manual).

🛡️ Safety Features

Rollover Protection:

Likely equipped with a ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) frame or an optional cab with ROPS certified to relevant standards. (Specifics would be in the manual).

Brake Safety:

Integrated braking systems with parking brake functionality.

Operator Presence:

Seat interlocks to prevent operation when the operator is not seated (common safety feature). (Manual would detail testing and troubleshooting).

💡 Technology Features

Operator Interface:

Focus on functional controls and indicators. Instrumentation typically includes tachometer, engine temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and warning lights. (Manual details dashboard layout and function).
