Weighing in at 2,700 lbs (1224 kg) in operating trim and capable of reaching 3,700 lbs (1678 kg) with ballast, the AG-48 offers a stable platform. Its Ag front tires are sized at 5.00-15, while the Ag rear tires are 9-24, providing excellent traction. The adjustable rear tread width, ranging from 48 to 59 inches (121 to 149 cm), further enhances its adaptability to various field conditions.
