The tractor is powered by a Kohler KT740 724 cc air-cooled, vertical-shaft V-Twin gasoline engine, delivering 25 hp (18.6 kW). Fuel delivery is managed by a carburetor system.

The machine is fitted with lawn/turf tires, measuring 16x6.5-8 at the front and 22x9.5-12 at the rear, designed to provide traction while minimizing turf impact.
