The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 2560 psi (176.5 bar) with a pump flow rate of 8.2 gpm (31.0 lpm). It includes two rear valves for implement control. The rear Category I hitch provides a lift capacity of 2755 lbs (1249 kg) at the ends, allowing the tractor to handle various implements effectively. The unit is equipped with a standard 540 RPM rear PTO, with an optional mid-mounted PTO available.
