To ensure traction across varied soil conditions, the tractor is equipped with a four-wheel-drive system, a hydraulic rear differential lock, and hydrostatic power steering for precise maneuverability. Braking is handled by mechanical dry disc brakes.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is a live open-center type, delivering a pump flow of 9.9 gpm (37.5 lpm) at a maximum pressure of 2800 psi. It includes three control valves for implement operation. The rear Category II hitch provides a lift capacity of 3527 lbs. The independent rear PTO supports dual speeds of 540 and 1000 RPM, utilizing a 1.375-inch shaft.
