The Super AWD-6 has an operating weight of 7,298 lbs (3310 kg) and a wheelbase of 76.5 inches. It provides a ground clearance of 15.1 inches at the rear axle. The tractor sits on 7.50-16 front tires and 14x30 rear tires. An optional rear power take-off (PTO) rated at 537 RPM is available to drive various agricultural implements.
