The system is organized into four gears across two ranges, complemented by a dedicated reverse range, allowing for a range of speeds suitable for varied utility work. The tractor operates on a two-wheel drive configuration.
Hydraulics and Implement Attachment
The machine features a hydraulic pump flow of 4.2 gpm (15.9 lpm). For implement connectivity, it is equipped with a rear hitch supporting both Category I and II standards. The rear power take-off (PTO) offers dual speeds of 540 and 1000 RPM, achieved at engine speeds of 1740 and 1790 RPM respectively.
Dimensions and Operator Station
With a total operating weight of 4115 lbs (1866 kg), the tractor provides sufficient traction for standard field operations. The operator interface consists of an open operator station, a common design for utility tractors of this production period.
