The tractor is powered by an Isuzu 2AA1 liquid-cooled, two-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 1.0 liters.

Power is transferred through a gear-type transmission featuring a dry disc clutch. The system provides 18 forward and 6 reverse speeds, achieved through three main gears and a three-range selector, supplemented by an additional two-range shift mechanism. The tractor is equipped with four-wheel drive and a mechanical rear differential lock to improve traction in varying soil conditions.
