Additional Notes

  • The Deutz-Fahr 5600 series manual transaxle specifications list two distinct capacity figures across the 5670, 5680, and 5690 H/HTS variants: 14 liters and 17 liters. The difference between these values points to separate transaxle configurations within the same model family rather than a single uniform fill volume.
  • A 14-liter transaxle capacity appears twice per model variant in the specifications, while the 17-liter figure appears once. In transaxle service contexts, differing capacities within the same model typically reflect variations in housing size, axle configuration, or the inclusion of additional integrated components such as a rear differential or PTO housing.
  • The 17-liter capacity figure, being the larger of the two listed values, represents a notably substantial fluid volume for a manual transaxle. Larger transaxle fill volumes generally correspond to units that integrate multiple gear sets or wet-brake assemblies within a shared fluid sump.
  • All nine specification rows across the 5670, 5680, and 5690 H/HTS share an identical check interval of 50 hours. In agricultural equipment service schedules, a 50-hour check interval is a relatively frequent inspection point, consistent with the demands placed on transaxle fluid in field operating conditions.
  • The fluid change interval for all listed variants is 500 hours or 12 months, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger structure of this interval means calendar time can mandate a fluid change even when the hourly threshold has not been reached, which is relevant for equipment used seasonally or at low annual hours.
  • The 500-hour change interval applies under normal use conditions across all three model variants. In agricultural machinery specifications, normal use is the baseline operating condition, as opposed to severe use designations that would typically call for shortened intervals.
  • The check and change intervals are consistent across the 5670, 5680, and 5690 H/HTS from 2000-2008, meaning the service schedule does not vary by model designation within the 5600 series for the manual transaxle system.
