Equipped with a four-wheel drive system, power steering, and wet disc brakes, the tractor provides the necessary traction and control for navigating varied terrain.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system includes a pump with a flow capacity of 5.75 gpm (21.8 lpm) and one valve. The rear Category I hitch offers a lift capacity of 1,596 lbs (723 kg) at the ends, accommodating a range of implements. An independent rear PTO operating at 540 RPM allows for the operation of power-driven attachments.
Dimensions and Safety
Measuring 115.4 inches in length with a ground clearance of 12.4 inches, the 3240 is designed for maneuverability in confined spaces. It has an operating weight of 2,659 lbs (1206 kg). Operator safety is facilitated by a two-post fixed ROPS, and the electrical system is supported by a 12-volt battery and a 50-amp alternator.
