Need the official factory reference for your 880 Implematic? This David Brown 880 Implematic operator manual PDF (OEM #TP609, 82 pages) covers the Livedrive and Non-Livedrive variants: 880 Implematic Livedrive, VAD 2E, VAD 2F, and the 3-cylinder Diesel Engine tractor. Inside: a complete Implematic system section guiding you through hitch controls, draft settings, and linkage adjustment, plus engine startup sequences, differential lock operation, and correct tyre pressures for field and road. You also get a full maintenance schedule with greasing chart, recommended lubricants, and fluid capacities for the transmission, hydraulic system, rear axle, and steering box. Clutch free-play must not drop below 0.5 in. (12 mm), and the power lift hydraulic system tops out at 2000 lb/in² (140 kg/cm²). No more chasing specs through old forum threads. Bookmarked by section; pull it up on your phone right at the tractor and get moving.

David Brown 880 Implematic Common Problems This Manual Covers
David Brown 880 Implematic tractor lifts weakly or fails to lift hydraulic implements p. 44
Drain the contaminated fluid and refill with Energol Tractor Gear Oil 50 as listed on page 44. Inspect the gear lever gators for tears allowing water ingress. Verify the maximum lift capacity at the end of the links reaches 1800 lb (816 kg) on page 70.
Manual Section: Regular MaintenanceTractor drives in some gears but not others or selects gears without driving p. 49
Check the clutch free-play regularly to ensure it does not fall below 0.5 in. (12 mm). Adjust bolt A on page 49 to give 1 in. to 1.25 in. (2.5 to 3.2 cm) of free movement on the clutch pedal to restore proper gear engagement.
Manual Section: Clutch Issues (P.T.O./Belt Pulley Disengagement)Hydraulic pump in transmission not pumping fluid or supplying adequate system pressure p. 70
Test the hydraulic pump output to confirm it delivers 5 gal/min (22.7 litres/min) at 1800 rev/min engine speed. Verify the system reaches a maximum pressure of 2000 lb/in² (140 kg/cm²) according to page 70. Flush the system to remove dirt specks sticking the valves.
Manual Section: Information and DataEngine runs erratically and delivers poor power during cold weather starting and operation p. 67
Inspect and clean the fuel injectors if you experience erratic running. Set the injector pressure to 175 atmospheres (180 kg/cm²) as specified on page 67. Verify the engine lubricating oil is filled to the 11 pints (6.25 litres) capacity shown on page 69.
Manual Section: Injector Cleaning and ReconditioningFrequently Asked Questions
