Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled Yanmar 3TNV88C 3-cylinder diesel engine. It features a displacement of 1642 cc (100.2 ci) and produces a gross power output of 37.4 hp (27.9 kW).

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 6.3 gpm (23.8 lpm). It is equipped with an independent front PTO operating at 2000 RPM, utilizing a wet disc clutch, which facilitates the operation of heavy-duty front-mounted implements, including 60, 62, or 72-inch mower decks.
