The tractor is powered by a 23 hp (17.2 kW) Kohler Command gasoline engine. This 2-cylinder, air-cooled V-twin engine features a vertical-shaft configuration and utilizes a 12-volt electric starter system.

It features an independent front power take-off (PTO) engaged by an electro-magnetic clutch, facilitating the use of the included 48-inch mower deck. The operator station is of an open design to ensure accessibility and visibility during operation.
Tires and Chassis
Designed specifically for turf management, the unit is fitted with lawn and turf tires to minimize ground compaction. The front tires are sized 16x6.5-8, while the rear tires are sized 23x9.5-12. The electrical system operates on a standard 12-volt, negative-ground circuit.
