Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by a 12.5 hp (9.3 kW) Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine. This 2-cylinder, air-cooled unit utilizes a vertical-shaft configuration, which is optimized for integration with mower decks. The system uses a 12-volt electric starter for simplified operation.

The tractor is steered manually and utilizes disc brakes to manage stopping. The open operator station is designed for accessibility, while the lawn/turf tires—15x6.00-6 on the front and 22x7.50-12 on the rear—are selected to provide traction while minimizing soil compaction.
