The tractor features manual steering and a manual clutch for the independent mid-mounted PTO, allowing the operator to engage the mower deck manually.
Chassis and Handling
Built on a two-wheel drive platform, the tractor features an open operator station for accessibility. It is equipped with specialized lawn and turf tires, measuring 20x8-8 on the front and 15x6-6 on the rear, which are designed to provide traction while minimizing soil compaction.
