The Explorer TB 105 is powered by a water-cooled four-cylinder engine of 3,849 cc, producing 72 kW (97 hp) at 2,000 rpm. At a weight of 3,500 kg, a wheelbase of 2,400 mm and a width of 1,939 mm, the tractor has a hydraulic lift capacity of 3,600 kg. Length stands at 4,117 mm. The front carries 420/65R20 tyres, the rear 480/65R28. The engine runs on diesel.
A four-cylinder of just under four litres in this build size marks a medium-heavy field tractor, the kind used for tillage and drawbar work with category 2 implements on the three-point hitch to ISO 730. The power take-off runs at the standard 540 or 1,000 rpm, and the differently sized front and rear tyres point to a build suited for front-loader work.
Buying a used Explorer TB model is worth checking the lift capacity under load and the condition of the differently sized front and rear tyres. Also worth checking at inspection are the tightness of the hydraulic hoses, the condition of the PTO bearings, the cooling system, and weighing recorded hours against the tractor's overall condition.
