Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 2.7-liter, 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. It utilizes a direct injection fuel system to achieve 49 horsepower (36.5 kW) at a rated speed of 2800 RPM.

It is equipped with wet disc brakes to ensure reliable stopping power.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is an open-center design with a main pump flow of 11 gpm (41.6 lpm) and a dedicated steering flow of 5 gpm (18.9 lpm). The rear Category I hitch includes position and draft control, capable of lifting up to 3090 lbs (1401 kg). The independent rear PTO operates at a standard 540 RPM at 2404 engine RPM.
