The tractor was available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations to suit different traction requirements.
Hydraulics and Implements
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a pump flow rate of 9.2 gpm (34.8 lpm). The rear hitch provides a lift capacity of 5733 lbs (2600 kg). The rear Power Take-Off (PTO) is adaptable, supporting both 540 and 540/1000 RPM speeds to accommodate various implement requirements.
