Engine Configurations: Single-cylinder and twin-cylinder air-cooled gasoline engines. Fuel System Fuel Delivery: Carbureted 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Types: Gear drive (LGT 100, LGT 120), Hydrostatic drive (LGT 125, LGT 145, LGT 165, LGT 195) Features Gear Drive Features: Typically multiple forward gears and at least one reverse gear. Hydrostatic Drive Features: Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) allowing infinite speed adjustment, often controlled by foot pedal or lever. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase: Varies by model, typically around 48-52 inches. Weights Shipping Weight: Estimated 450-700 lbs (depending on model and configuration). 🛡️ Safety Features Active Features Operator Presence System: Engine shuts off if operator leaves the seat (standard on most tractors). Brake System: Foot-operated mechanical parking brake or integrated transmission brake. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Dashboard Features: Basic dashboard with ignition switch, throttle control, hour meter (model dependent), and potentially PTO engagement switch. Driver Assistance Operational Aids: Cruise control is not a standard feature on these models. Focus is on mechanical simplicity and direct operator control. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Engine Oil Change: Typically every 50 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Air Filter Replacement: Inspect every 25 hours, clean or replace as needed, generally annually. Fuel Filter Replacement: Replace annually or every 100 hours. Transmission Fluid Change: Recommended every 200-300 hours for hydrostatic transmissions, or as specified in the manual. Gear drive may have different recommendations for gear oil. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Type: SAE 10W-30 or SAE 30W (refer to specific engine manufacturer recommendations within the manual).
