The four-wheel drive configuration, combined with power-assisted steering, ensures effective power transfer to the ground and improved maneuverability under load.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 7.9 gpm (29.9 lpm). The rear hitch is a Category II/I configuration equipped with both position and top-link draft control, supporting a maximum lift capacity of 4000 lbs (1814 kg) for handling various implements.
