The operator station is equipped with a two-post Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) as standard, with an optional factory cab available for increased comfort. The machine measures 349 cm in length and has a wheelbase of 184 cm, providing a ground clearance of 36 cm. The weight is approximately 1574 kg in the ROPS configuration, increasing to 1735 kg for the cab-equipped version.
