Diesel engine has high-quality features to minimize operating cost
The 1500 Series TerrainCut Front Mowers are powered by liquid-cooled, 3-cylinder diesel engines.
These engines feature low levels of exhaust and emissions, reduced noise levels, and excellent fuel economy. They also meet the necessary Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier 4 emissions requirements.
Models 1570, 1575, 1580, and 1585 are biodiesel compatible from the factory up to B20.
Economical cast-in block cylinder design for good cooling and long life
Direct fuel injection (model 1570, 1575, 1580, 1585)
Injects fuel directly on top of pistons for more efficient combustion
Delivers more horsepower per gallon of fuel
Improves starting
Develops more horsepower per gallon of fuel; improves starting
Aluminum alloy pistons with built-in steel struts are lightweight to reduce connection rod bearing loads and provide good heat transfer characteristics
Design permits tighter tolerances and neutralizes expansion of the piston, thereby reducing blow-by gas and noise from the piston slap
Higher top rings on the piston and a thinner head gasket greatly reduce the volume of unburned waste gases and increase combustion efficiency
Timing gears and injector drive gears utilize helical profile gears to help lower engine noise; gear teeth have a newly designed roll-off profile, giving almost no clash, no noise, and no backlash
Fuel filter with replaceable element
Full-pressure intake manifold provides quick starts in temperatures down to 0°F (-18°C).
Auto-bleed fuel system; there is no need to prime the system if the tractor runs out of fuel; the system will self-prime the injection pump, lines and injectors, providing fast fuel recovery
Key start and shutoff eliminates fuel shut-off knob; electric solenoid shuts fuel supply off immediately when key is turned off
See-through coolant recovery tank permits operator to check coolant level without removing radiator cap
Sealed radiator compartment to keep trash and debris on outside of hood
Excellent torque for plenty of lugging power when operating in tough mowing conditions
Full-pressure lubrication for positive lubrication, even when operating on slopes
Dual-element, dry-type, replaceable air cleaner completely sealed for effective cleaning
90 percent to 95 percent of dirt ejected before it reaches the paper element
Secondary safety element for additional filtering
Progressive-type air restriction indicator to let operator know when the filter needs servicing
Automotive-type alternator for plenty of charge to the battery and power for accessories
75 amp for open-station models
95 amp for ComfortCab models
Automatic initiation of air heater for easier cold-weather starting
Automotive-sensing system tells operator when engine is ready to start
