Both are designed for smooth, efficient power delivery, allowing you to find the perfect gear for every situation.

Hydraulics: Command Your Implements

This tractor is a hydraulic champion! Featuring a closed-center load-sensing system, it delivers a robust total flow of 55 GPM (208.2 lpm) at a formidable 2900 psi (200.0 bar) pressure. With 4 to 8 available valves, you have the versatility to operate a wide array of demanding implements with precision and ease. For those needing even more, an optional HydraFlow system boosts flow to an incredible 80 GPM.
