Dimensions and Operator Station
The tractor features a 124 cm (49 inches) wheelbase and a ground clearance of 17 cm (7 inches). It weighs approximately 344 kg (760 lbs). The operator station is of an open design, with an optional vinyl soft-side cab available for weather protection. The machine rolls on lawn/turf tires, sized 16x6.50-8 for the front and 23x8.50-12 for the rear.
