From the row-crop fields to general farm duties, this machine is engineered to tackle the challenges of modern agriculture with unwavering reliability. Let's dive into what makes the 2-85 a true asset for any operation.

This advanced system offers a three-speed power shift for each gear, providing a total of 18 forward and 6 reverse gears for incredibly smooth and precise control, maximizing your efficiency in the field.

Hydraulics and PTO: Ready for Implements

The 2-85 is equipped to handle a wide array of implements with its capable hydraulic system. Featuring a closed-center setup providing 20 gpm [75.7 lpm] of flow at 2200 psi [151.7 bar], it ensures responsive power for your attachments. The independent rear PTO, available in 540/1000 RPM configurations, means you can seamlessly switch between tasks without interruption.

Comfortable and Functional Operator Station

Designed with the operator in mind, the 2-85 offers a comfortable and functional workspace. Choose between an open operator station for maximum visibility or a cab equipped with air conditioning for enhanced comfort during long working days. With power steering and independent hydraulic dry disc brakes, control and safety are paramount.

Robust Hitch and Dimensions for Versatility

The rear hitch is built for serious work, featuring a Category II setup with draft sensing control. It can handle a substantial lift capacity of up to 4000 lbs [1814 kg] at 24 inches [610 mm], with an optional capacity reaching 6000 lbs [2721 kg]. With a wheelbase of 103 inches [261 cm] and a length of 178.1 inches [452 cm], the 2-85 offers a stable and balanced platform for a variety of agricultural tasks.
