Cub Cadet 1650 tractor transmission Oil

admin — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 08:18:11 +0000

I have a Cub Cadet 1650 garden tractor. The book recommends using Hy-Tran fluid. I went to Orscheln the other day and found– Premium “303″ tractor hydraulic & transmission fluid in a 5 gallon bucket for $25. On the back it says that it can be used in tractors needing–

Case/ IH Hy-Tran fluid

and certain CAT, JD, Ford, New Holland, Agco, MF and White brands.

The buckets say they have anti foaming agents and the oil is for extreme pressure applications.

Has anyone used that brand of oil?? Looks to me like that would be fine. What would work in all those bigger field tractors should work in my garden tractor…

The best three Farming Tractors

admin — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 11:07:38 +0000

People in construction and other heavy-duty industries require good quality machinery and farmers are no different; they also need equipment that can cope with heavy demands. The equipment needs to be able to produce the power these jobs require whilst being very easy to operate. Some of the best well-known manufacturers are Case, John Deere and New Holland. All of these companies make machines that are among the best in the world, so whether you are looking for originals or rebuilt models these models have something to offer. These companies have developed new and improved technologies, which are able to get the job done as quickly and as well as possible.

Transmissions – John Deere

The Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) of the John Deere tractors is designed to deliver a constant level of power and efficiency whilst being easy to use. They pride themselves in designed systems, which allow farmers to stay in control whilst remaining simple. The John Deere transmissions enable you to select the right speed ratio and the correct gear, which allows farmers to clear the fields in as short a time as possible.
The John Deere tractors are able to run at a lower engine speed, which increases the fuel efficiently and helps to ease the strain of the higher fuel prices. Most farmers like them because they are very easy to drive and there is no longer a need to guess and grind in order to get it into the right gear. These tractors also have a selector knob, which allows the driver to select the best settings for use in all situations. The old-fashioned clutch system is no longer in the tractors as the tractor now has an auto clutch that is a lot more convenient.

Magnum – Case IH

These tractors have brought farmers three different options with regards to the different performance parts such as the 18F/4R standard, 19F/4R, and a 23F/6R. An extra road gear is the second option that is available and this extra gear makes the tractor extremely fuel-efficient on the road. This additional gear allows the tractor to go at a maximum of 25mph and this equates to a fuel savings of 11 percent. Case who is the manufacturer of the tractor feels that you will save enough fuel in three hundred hours of driving to be able to pay for the added costs. The last tractor that was designed has a shift through creeper speeds system. Regardless of what transmission is selected this tractor has a standard auto shift and also two modes with all three versions. The driver is able to set up the gearing depending on whether the tractor is going to be on the road or in the field.

T6000 Series

The T6000 series is part of the New Holland range and it allows farmers to have a choice of four different transmissions. The 16×16 auto shift system has a shift program, which is suitable for both the field and the road.

The death of the Tractor’s Diesel Engine

admin — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 09:30:08 +0000

For decades now we have been aware that the supply of oil will at some stage run out. But the world’s population will still need to be fed and food will need to be produced in even greater quantities to meet a growing population. In short, with ever more dire predictions about how much longer oil is going to last, there are some seriously big elephants in the room, when it comes to working out how long we can continue to feed the world’s growing population for when our agriculture is so dependent on oil to produce food.
With intensive farming so dependent on diesel oil. How can this dilemma be resolved? Well, for years solar power has been touted as the answer to all our problems, however the possibility of a solar powered 150 horsepower tractor was never a reality.
Then came biofuels which held grate promise. Again, the reality of the biofuels equation did not add up in practice. As vast tracts of land were turned over to the production of biofuels it became apparent that less food could be produced from a finite amount of land. The recent rise in price of food commodities caused a great furore and brought the “food vs. fuel” to the fore and recently.
Iveco, in partnership with New Holland, announced that they will launch a Fuel Cell tractor in early 2009. Called the NH2, the normal Diesel engine, has been replaced by a Fuel Cell, which has the potential to wean farms off their dependence on oil – soon you might be seeing ‘zero-carbon’ foodstuffs, alongside your Fairtrade and Organics. Assuming that they can be transported from field to plate in a carbon natural way.
The idea of producing Fuel Cell tractors has been kicking around for quite a while, but the recent hike in oil prices brought into sharp focus the needs for oil alternatives. In 1959 the tractor manufacturer, Allis Chalmers produced the first Fuel Cell powered tractor, however, after the demo of ploughing a field of Alfalfa, it ended up in a museum, and got no further.
The vehicle’s only emission will be water. The hydrogen will possibly be generated on farm using maybe water electrolysis technology; using electricity possibly supplied by renewable sources such as solar or wind power.
The chemical reaction that takes place in the cell is converted into electrical power, which is then stored in one of three lithium ion batteries. This electrical will then be used to drive an electric transmission.
The new exterior styling of the tractor is similar to that included on the retro Fiat tractor concept shown at the Italian EIMA show recently
What’s great about this development is that New Holland has the capability and distribution network to transform agriculture completely by de-carbonising one element of the food supply chain. Stay tuned this may very revolutionize farming
