The engine is equipped with a dry air cleaner and an air heater for pre-heating. It has a compression ratio of 18.5:1 and a rated RPM of 2500. The starter is electric and operates at 12 volts.

Transmission

The transmission is a 16-speed syncro shuttle with 16 forward and reverse gears. The engine is capable of producing a PTO power output of 65hp / 48.5kW. The transmission is designed to provide smooth and efficient shifting between gears, allowing the operator to easily adjust the speed of the tractor to match the requirements of the task at hand. The transmission is also equipped with a wet disc clutch, which provides reliable and consistent performance over time.

Brakes

The brakes are wet disc brakes, which provide reliable and consistent stopping power even in wet or muddy conditions. The brakes are designed to be easy to maintain and service, with readily accessible components that can be quickly and easily replaced if necessary. The engine brake is also available, which provides additional stopping power when descending steep slopes or when carrying heavy loads. The engine brake works by reducing the amount of fuel delivered to the engine, which in turn reduces the amount of power produced by the engine.

Steering

The steering is hydrostatic power steering, which provides smooth and precise control of the tractor. The steering system is designed to be easy to operate, with minimal effort required to turn the steering wheel. The steering system is also designed to be highly responsive, allowing the operator to quickly and easily adjust the direction of the tractor as needed. The fuel tank has a capacity of 31.7gal / 120.0L, which provides ample fuel for extended periods of operation.

Common Problems

Some users have also reported problems with the steering system, which can become stiff or unresponsive over time. The wet disc brakes can also be prone to wear and require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Some users have reported issues with the cab, particularly with the air-conditioning system, which can be prone to failure. Finally, some users have reported issues with the transmission, particularly with the syncro shuttle system, which can become difficult to shift over time.
