Hydraulics and Implements

For implement operation, the tractor is equipped with a rear-mounted Category I hitch. The rear power take-off (PTO) operates at a standard speed of 540 RPM, utilizing a 1.375-inch shaft, which allows for compatibility with a wide range of period-appropriate agricultural implements.

Dimensions and Chassis

The tractor has a wheelbase of 83.1 inches (211 cm) and an operating weight of 3,858 lbs (1,749 kg). It stands 66.1 inches (167 cm) high and measures 131.9 inches (335 cm) in total length. The rear tread width is adjustable between 49.2 and 59.1 inches (124 to 150 cm) to accommodate different row spacings. It features an open operator station configuration.
