The hydraulic system features a pump flow capacity of 15.9 gpm for ROPS models and 17 gpm for cab-equipped models, supporting up to three valves. The independent rear PTO is electro-hydraulically controlled and offers multiple speed settings, including 540 and 1000 rpm options, to accommodate various implements.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
Operators can choose between a two-post foldable ROPS or the optional Ultra Grand Cab, which includes air conditioning and optional air-ride seating. The chassis supports a Category II rear hitch with position control and top-link draft sensing, capable of a rated lift capacity of 4,630 lbs at 24 inches behind the lift point.
