Ideal Applications
Small-Scale Farm Utility:
With a Type I rear hitch and 15 hp claimed PTO power, this tractor is designed to handle a variety of light-duty implements for daily agricultural tasks.
Confined Space Operation:
The narrow 41.3-inch width, 49.6-inch wheelbase, and manual steering make this machine suitable for navigating through tight rows or restricted farm buildings.
Specialized PTO Work:
The inclusion of three different rear PTO speeds (540, 860, and 1000 RPM) allows the operator to match specific power requirements for various types of driven equipment.
