Chassis and Handling
Featuring a two-wheel drive configuration, the tractor utilizes manual steering for direct operator control. The machine is designed with an open operator station to provide visibility during operation. The tractor rides on lawn and turf tires, with 15x6.00-6 tires on the front and 18x8.50-8 tires on the rear, specifically chosen to provide traction while minimizing soil compaction and turf damage.
