The tractor is powered by a Kohler K321AQS gasoline engine. This 1-cylinder, air-cooled unit features a horizontal shaft, a displacement of 512 cc (31.27 ci), and a bore/stroke ratio of 89 x 83 mm.

The tractor is configured with a two-wheel drive system, manual steering, and mechanical band brakes for stopping.

Power Take-Off and Hydraulics

The machine is equipped with an independent front PTO as standard. An independent rear PTO, operating at 3300 RPM, is available as an optional feature.
