Additional Notes

  • The Ford 8160 and Ford 8260 share a base cooling system capacity of 25 liters, while the Ford 8360 and Ford 8560 each carry a slightly lower base capacity of 24 liters.
  • When a cabin heater circuit is included, all four models in the Ford 60 and Fiatagri M range reach a uniform total coolant capacity of 26 liters, regardless of the 1-liter difference seen in their base configurations.
  • The 1-liter increase from base to cabin-equipped configurations reflects the additional fluid volume held within the heater core and associated plumbing routed to the operator cab.
  • A coolant level check interval of 10 hours applies across all four models under normal use conditions, indicating a very frequent inspection cadence typical of heavy-duty agricultural equipment during active operation.
  • The coolant change interval for all four models is set at 1200 hours or 24 months under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would govern the service event in practice.
  • The dual-criterion interval of 1200 hours and 24 months acknowledges that calendar aging of coolant additives occurs independently of engine runtime, so a machine with low annual hours would still require a change within two years.
  • The Fiatagri M 100, M 115, M 135, and M 160 designations correspond directly to the Ford 8160, 8260, 8360, and 8560 respectively, sharing identical cooling system specifications for the 1996-1999 production period.
