Available options include mechanical shuttle transmissions with 12, 15, 24, or 30 forward and reverse gears, as well as a 30-forward and 15-reverse two-speed power shift transmission. The machine is available in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations, complemented by power steering and wet disc brakes for precise handling.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is of the open-center type, providing a pump flow of 15.1 gpm (57.2 lpm) at a system pressure of 2756 psi (190.0 bar), with a dedicated steering flow of 6.6 gpm (25.0 lpm). Depending on the configuration, the tractor is equipped with 2 to 4 valves. The rear independent PTO offers 540/1000 RPM speeds, while an optional front PTO is available for additional implement versatility.
