Confirm on this tractorBefore the first comparison

Serial number: Not recorded. The production range above is the model’s range; it does not identify this tractor’s build year.

  • Check the engine identification and 2WD, 4WD or Hi-Clear configuration.
  • Confirm whether the auxiliary tank is fitted and which tank or tanks your fuel records cover.
  • Record actual tire sizes, ballast, attachment and work conditions with the comparison evidence.
  • Verify battery wiring, supply voltage, alternator rating and the HHO module’s electrical demand before assessing available power.

The tractor’s identity, installed HHO equipment and operating logs remain its own records.
