The tractor features permanent four-wheel drive with articulated power steering, ensuring maneuverability despite its significant size.
Hydraulics and Implements
The hydraulic system is of the open-center type, delivering a pump flow of 23.8 gpm (90.1 lpm) through two valves. It is equipped with a Category IV rear hitch for heavy implement attachment and an independent rear PTO operating at 1000 RPM, supporting a wide range of agricultural equipment.
