The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 1700 psi with a total flow capacity of 3.7 gallons per minute (14.0 liters per minute). For implement operation, the tractor is equipped with a rear PTO providing 540 RPM at 2530 engine RPM, complemented by an independent front PTO and an electro-magnetic clutch for precise engagement.
