Specific engine codes (e.g., David Brown AD4/48, AD6/55 series or later Perkins equivalents) would be confirmed in the manual. Performance Horsepower Range: Estimated 70-90 PTO HP (Power Take-Off Horsepower), depending on specific engine and configuration. Base tractor horsepower might be slightly lower. Torque Characteristics: Emphasis on strong low-end torque for pulling power in agricultural applications. Specific torque figures would be listed in the manual. Fuel System Fuel System Type: Diesel fuel injection system (typically rotary or inline injection pump) and potentially an LP-Gas (LPG) fuel system variant. Cooling System Cooling System Type: Pressurized liquid cooling system with thermostat control. Lubrication Lubrication System: Forced lubrication via oil pump, oil filter, and sump. Specific oil specifications (viscosity grade, API classification) are critical and detailed in the manual. Timing System Timing Mechanism: Typically gear-driven or chain-driven camshaft and timing gears for precise valve and injection timing. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Transmission Type: Constant mesh, sliding gear transmission with multiple forward and reverse speeds. Often a 12-speed or 16-speed gearbox. Optional Transmission Power Shuttle Or Creeper: May have optional powershift or creeper gear options depending on the specific configuration and market. Synchromesh on some gears likely. Features Pto Options: Multiple PTO speed options (e.g., 540 RPM, 1000 RPM) are common, with service details provided. Fluid Requirements Transmission Fluid Type: Requires specific tractor hydraulic/transmission fluid (e.g., API GL-4, SAE 80W-90 or similar universal tractor transmission fluid - UTTO). Manual will specify exact type and capacity. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Overall Length: Highly variable depending on specific configuration (e.g., front weights, tire size, hitch type).
