Ideal Applications
Standard PTO Operations:

Small-Scale Row Crop Farming:
The adjustable rear tread width, ranging from 52.8 to 76.4 inches, allows the operator to configure the machine to match specific row spacings while maintaining a 15.4-inch rear axle clearance.
Light Utility Tasks:
Its 4-speed gear transmission and 116.9-inch length make it a nimble choice for navigating farmyards and performing general chores where a larger machine would be impractical.
