HOW TO GET TOP PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR TRACTOR
It has been observed that tractors are used 20 to 30% less than their capabilities and thus tractor users do not get full benefit from
the tractor. The tractor operation is done, as a habit, between 1600-1800 engine RPM where engine power and work output is low
and results in performance dissatisfaction.
Although hourly and timely tractor maintenance is given in the following pages of your “Operator’s Manual” to get top notch
performance, yet we list down a few “MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION TIPS” to get top notch performance.
SOME FACTS
• FARMTRACTractor engines are rated at 2000 RPM (VALUEMAX)/ 1850 RPM (AGMAXX, LOADMAX & SUPERMAXX) for
maximum power output.
• Specified tractor operating speeds are therefore available at 2000 RPM (VALUEMAX)/ 1850 RPM (AGMAXX, LOADMAX &
SUPERMAXX). Operating tractor at less than 1800 engine RPM would result in high loss of power output.
• Select right gear as per field conditions. Set hydraulic system in “Draft Control-This would minimise rear wheel slippage and
engine RPM drop. Refer hydraulic system in the Operator’s Manual.
Tractor Maintenance
Ensure daily and periodic maintenance as per given schedule in this manual.
Engine
• Always operate the engine at rated speed as specified on the operator manual for maximum work output.
AIR Cleaner
• Clean pre-cleaner, check oil level daily and top up if required. Change oil and clean daily when working in dusty conditions. Oil
change recommended weekly or at 50 Hrs. under normal working conditions.

58
HOW TO GET TOP PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR TRACTOR
ENGINE Oil
• Check engine oil level daily. Oil level between “Add” & “Max” is safe and there is no need to add more oil. Top up oil level if
oil level is close to “Add” mark.
FAN BELT TENSION
• Maintain proper (½" or 12mm) fan belt tension. Loose fan belt leads to slippage and causes engine overheating and the
battery does not get charged also.
Clutch Pedal Free Play
• Maintain 32-38mm clutch pedal free play. Free play less than 32mm or no play causes clutch slippage.
Tyre Pressure
• Maintain correct tyre pressure for field work (front 26 psi; Rear 12-14 psi) to minimise wheel slippage.
Greasing and Lubrication
• Grease all greasing points every 50 hrs. or weekly. In puddling operation grease daily.
Do’S
• Always operate Tractor in “Draft Control” for Field Operations.
DonT’S
• Do not use clutch and brake pedal as “Foot Rest”.
• Do not drive tractor on road with independent brakes.

DIESEL STORAGE AND HANDLING

The Funnel for pouring the diesel should have a close mesh gauze.
Cans and funnel should be kept clean and dry and covered up
when not in use.

The barrels should be kept well sheltered and the contents given
ample time to settle before any diesel is withdrawn.

A tap should be screwed into the hole on one end of the barrel,
which should be placed tilted away from the tap. It will be necessary
to loosen the second plug for drawing the diesel and to tighten it
afterwards.

The barrel should not completely drained, but refilled while there is
still 5-10 litres diesel in it.

IN COLD CLIMATES
Radiator

In near zero temperature–Add anti-freeze to the radiator


water. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Otherwise,
drain water at night and fill in the morning, preferably with
hot water. Even boiling water can be filled.

When driving, a partly cover can be used in front of the


radiator to maintain the engine water temperature between
80 to 90°C (144 to 162°F).

Tractor Parking

Park the tractor overnight in a garage or cover with canvas


or quilt.

Remove battery and keep in a warm place. Starting


capability of warm battery is considerably better.

CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

The following pages in this section detail the location and function of the various instruments, switches and controls on your
tractor. Even if you operate other tractors, you should read through this section of the Manual and ensure that you are
thoroughly familiar with the location and function of all the features of your new tractor. Do not start the engine or attempt to
drive or operate the tractor until you are fully accustomed to all the controls. It is too late to learn once the tractor is moving. If
in doubt about any aspect of operation of the tractor, consult your dealer.

Particular attention should be paid to the recommendations for running-in to ensure that your tractor will give the long and
dependable service for which it was designed.

possible, compatible with your operation, especially on rough
ground, slopes or across ditches.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
This section gives full details of the service procedures necessary to maintain your tractor at peak efficiency while the lubrication
and maintenance chart on page 2 provides a ready reference to these requirements.
In addition to the regular service operations listed, the following items should be checked every 10 hours or daily
during the first 50 hours of operation
• Transmission oil level
• Rear wheel nuts for tightness
At the first 50 hours service, ensure that the following additional service operations are carried out
• Change engine oil & filter.
• Change hydraulic oil filter.
• Check and adjust fan belt tension.
• Check and adjust brakes.
• Check cylinder head bolts torque and adjust engine valve clearances.
• Clean, inspect and grease front wheel bearings
• Check torque of front end weight clamp bolts (where fitted).
NOTE : Ensure that the tractor is on level ground and that all rams are extended, where applicable before checking oil levels.
See recommended lubricants chapter for additional amount that may be added to the rear axle and for oil capacities and grades.
To prevent contamination when changing oils, filters, etc., always clean the area around the filter, level and drain plugs, dipsticks
and filters. Before connecting remote cylinders, ensure that oil contained within them is clean, has not degenerated due to long
storage and is of the correct grade.

change interval will be reduced if the diesel fuel has a high sulphur content or if the tractor is operated in extremely cold temperatures. # The first change of filter should be done
at 50 hours of usage and all subsequent changes after every 300 hours. ## Frequency depends on clutch usage.
AFTER FIRST 50 HOURS OF USAGE check the Engine idle Speed and adjust if necessary. This adjustment should be carried out by your Authorised Dealer.
IMPORTANT : Special equipment which is available at your Authorised Dealer is needed to adjust the fuel injection pump. The warranty of the engine may be affected if the seals

Set hydraulic levers in top raised position and LOCK the levers. Maintain speed to avoid jumps. Clear off while overtaking on road with wide
implements. Park tractor in neutral, by bringing rear of tractor parallel & close to implement of hitching. Alignment of tractor/ implement should be
done by inching manually.

BASIC GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENT SELECTION
All FARMTRAC tractors are of category I & II linkage. Selection of field gear depends upon (i) type of implement (ii) shape of tines & shovels (iii)
local practices and field conditions. Always buy quality implements from a reliable source and check for specified dimensions and
weight . Select correct length of linkage Drawbar 683 + 1.5mm for trailing implements.

IMPLEMENT MAINTENANCE
Clean the implement after use. Apply used engine oil on cutting blades & shining surfaces to avoid rusting. Repaint once every 2 years
Regularly tighten nuts, bolts & replace defective ones Replace or reverse worn out shovels in time. Worn out shovels penetrate less and add
excessive load. Use special bolts & nuts for fixing shovels Replace Discs of plough and harrow before disc diameter is reduced to 24" or 20"
respectively. Always use correct size Hitching pins & linch pins For Mould Board ploughs, regularly get shares and bar point sharpen and
shapes corrected by Blacksmith Do not oil link balls as they with collect dust and accelerate wear Prior to operation lubricate harrow gangs shaft
