Implement Control and Electrical
Equipped with an independent front power take-off (PTO) engaged via an electric clutch, the tractor supports versatile implement usage, including a 54-inch mower deck. The electrical system operates on 12 volts, supported by a battery with 340 cold cranking amps (CCA) and a flywheel-type alternator providing 16 charging amps.
Conclusion
