A sliding screen positioned in front of the main cooling radiator catches the heavy dust and debris which is drawn into the cooling area. This prevents the radiator from becoming blocked and it greatly reduces the risk of engine overheating.
A fully independent driveline takes the power directly from the engine to the PTO gears. Single gear reduction in the driveline reduces power loss and helical cut PTO gears reduce noise during operation.
The open centre hydraulic system features a dedicated 56 L/min pump which supplies oil solely for the hydraulics and auxiliary valves, ensuring maximum oil is available at all times. This model comes with two sets of remotes – 1 detent / 1 spring – with mechanical three point linkage and 4,300kg max. lift capacity.
The instrument panel features a clear visual display of engine rpm, forward speed kph, PTO speed indicator and hour meter, as well as fuel level and coolant temperature gauges.
The steering column is adjustable allowing the operator to set the steering wheel to suit each individual. Incorporated within the steering console is the instrument panel, hand throttle to the right of the steering wheel and all lighting and indicator controls.
Constant mesh gears ensure the power is transmitted smoothly through the gearbox with minimal loss of power. The PTO drive is direct from the engine to a hydraulically operated wet clutch pack. Pressure lubricated bearings and synchronisers ensure the heat generated within is quickly and efficiently dissipated.
An optional braking valve located under the front of the right-hand foot plate allows the operator to choose the type of braking characteristic to perform depending upon the operation.
The high pressure combustion engine develops 92 hp at 2,500 rpm and is equipped with high positioned 3 ring pistons, minimising friction and providing positive bore sealing. The 1000 series engine is fitted with an individual Bosch fuel injection system.
