Fluid Specifications
Engine Oil Type:
Diesel engine oil, API CD or higher, SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on climate. Consult operator's manual for precise specification.
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid:
UTTO (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) or a comparable high-quality hydraulic fluid meeting specifications like John Deere J20C, Case IH MS-1207, or ZF TE-ML 03E/05F/06K. Capacity typically around 45-55 liters.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze (50/50 mix with distilled water) providing protection against freezing and corrosion. Use a coolant meeting ASTM D3306 or equivalent.
Gearbox Oil Type:
May share hydraulic fluid or require a specific gear oil (e.g., API GL-4) for some gearbox components. Manual consultation is key.
Known Issues
Common Issues:
Early models might experience some issues with hydraulic pump reliability or seal longevity if not properly maintained. Electrical connections can sometimes be a point of failure if exposed to harsh environments. Clutch wear is normal for heavy use. PTO engagement issues can arise from linkage wear or clutch problems.
Maintenance Considerations:
Due to their robust, often mechanical nature, meticulous lubrication and regular fluid/filter changes are critical for longevity. Many components are designed for heavy-duty use but require diligent upkeep.
