IMPROVEMENTS FOR MkIII TRACTORS

Cab designed for integrated ROPS /FOPS operator protection. New sliding windows allow for better airflow
through the side & rear windows.
Transmission upgraded from MD3060 to series 3000.
Instrumentation completely revised. Gauges for fuel level and engine coolant temperature now included.
MDU provides progressive warning light and buzzer warning on engine temperature, engine oil pressure and air
pressure.
Electrical system completely redesigned for improved reliability. Reset fuses replaced by fast-blow type. Fuse
diagnostics via new Main Display Unit. Most relays changed from Solenoid type to solid-state electronic type.
Dashboard updated to accommodate Main Display Unit. Face vents provide improved air flow balance to the
operator.

New look cab better guage

display and improved
electrics

Fuel tank capacity increase In volume from to 220L. Fuel level instrumentation has a new gauge on the
dashboard.

Head lights have been moved from top of grill to above mudguards. This allows improved grill airflow. The new
position, prevents from-above dazzle and improved vibration/ electrical loom anti-chafe resistance.

New grill and improved cooling package with

separate headlights

Engine/transmission cooler package changed from copper fin/brass tubes and pressed brass tanks to fully
fabricated aluminum. Fin spacing has been reduced for lower debris buildup. Coolers are no longer stacked in
front of one another and instead are side-by-side (Easy cleaning and lower radiator air-on temp). Header tank
now includes sight level glass. Low level water sensor has also been added.
Dual pole battery isolator switch
