Engine Specifications

The tractor is powered by a Yanmar 3TNV88 diesel engine. This 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled power unit features a displacement of 1642 cc (100.2 ci) and direct injection fuel delivery.

Equipped with a hydrostatic transmission, the 1565 Series II provides infinite forward and reverse speed control across two ranges, allowing for precise maneuverability. The machine utilizes a 4x4 MRWD (Mechanical Rear Wheel Drive/Four-Wheel Drive) system to ensure traction in varied terrain, complemented by power steering and disc brakes for operator control.

Dimensions and Operator Environment

The tractor features a wheelbase of 49.2 inches (124 cm) and a width of 47.6 inches (120 cm), providing a stable yet compact footprint. The operator platform is standard with a two-post folding Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS), while an air-conditioned cab was available as an optional configuration to improve comfort during extended operation.
