Built on a chassis with a 48.9-inch wheelbase, the tractor features a cast-iron front axle to enhance structural durability. It is fitted with turf-specific tires, measuring 15x6-6 in the front and 20x10-8 in the rear. The machine is configured with a 42-inch mower deck and utilizes an independent mid-mounted power take-off (PTO) engaged via a manual clutch.
Operator Station and Safety
The operator station is an open-platform design intended for ease of access. Steering is managed through a manual system, and braking is provided by wet disc brakes, which are integrated into the transmission housing. The unit features a sealed transmission design where owner maintenance is not recommended.
