Featuring a 15.5-inch dry disc clutch and offering 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, this transmission is enhanced by a Hi-Lo system.

This system, with a 7.2-gallon capacity, is ready to power your most demanding implements. The independent rear PTO, operating at 1000 RPM, ensures you have the right power take-off for a wide array of agricultural tools, complemented by a substantial rear lift capacity of 7,681 lbs (3484 kg).
