Approximately 80 HP (Krypton 80) to 100 HP (Krypton 100), with intermediate models (90 HP) and F-series variants.
Fuel Injection:
Typically electronic or mechanical unit injection systems, or common rail depending on the specific engine variant and year.
Infotainment Features:
Basic radio options were common; advanced infotainment systems were not standard for this era of utility tractors.
Driver Assistance Features:
Focus on functional design for ease of operation rather than electronic driver aids typical of modern vehicles.
Connectivity Options:
No advanced connectivity options like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi; primary connectivity is through PTO and hydraulic outlets for implements.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, or annually, whichever comes first. Exact interval is model-specific and detailed in the manual.
Transmission Oil Change:
Refer to manual for specific intervals, often around 1000-1200 hours for major transmission oil changes.
Engine Oil Specification:
Likely API CG-4 or CH-4 quality, SAE 15W-40 or 10W-40 depending on climate. Manual will specify exact grade and capacity.
Hydraulic Fluid Specification:
Typically UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid) or a specified hydraulic oil meeting ISO VG 46 or similar standards. Manual is critical here.
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, hydraulic pump seals, PTO clutch packs, and certain electrical components can be common wear items over time.
Potential Electrical Gremlins:
Older wiring harnesses, corrosion on connectors, and sensor failures can occur, all well-documented in the troubleshooting section.
Manufacturer Origin:
SAME (Società Accomandita Esercizio) is an Italian manufacturer, now part of the SAME Deutz-Fahr Group.
Krypston Series Positioning:
The KRYPTON series represents SAME's offering in the medium-horsepower utility tractor segment, designed for a wide range of farm tasks.
Typical Production Era:
These models likely fall into the late 1990s to early 2000s production era, with potential overlap into the early 2010s for certain configurations.
