Ideal Applications
Tight-Space Maneuvering:
With a narrow 38.2-inch width and a 50-inch wheelbase, this tractor is highly effective for operating in confined farm areas where larger equipment cannot fit.
Rear Implement Operation:
The inclusion of a 540 RPM rear PTO and a JIS0 type hitch allows for the use of various rear-mounted attachments to handle specialized farm tasks.
All-Terrain Traction:
Equipped with four-wheel drive and standard ag tires, this tractor provides stable performance across different ground conditions despite its compact size.
