It offers a choice between 2WD and 4WD configurations, accommodating various farming and light industrial jobs. Power is provided by a durable and efficient 4.2 L four-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine, which generates 62.92 HP (47.00 kW) at 2100 rpm, delivering 197 lb-ft (267 Nm) of torque at 1400 rpm with a 27.5% torque rise and 7.5% power increase at 1600 rpm. The transmission configuration is a 16 forward and 8 reverse gear partial power shift or synchromesh transmission. The open center hydraulic system ensures smooth operation of implements, with a maximum force exerted of 4312 lbs (19.18 kN) at hitch points, a pump delivery rate of 12.1 GPM (45.8 l/min) at maximum engine speed, and a hydraulic power of 16.5 HP (12.3 kW) at a delivery pressure of 2000 psi (138 bar). The independent PTO with speeds of 540 and 1,000 rpm allows attachment of various tools. The tractor stands tall with optional cabs featuring air-conditioning and a three-point hitch system to handle a wide variety of attachments efficiently. Its design includes power-assisted steering and differential mechanical wet disc brakes for ease of handling and safety. The fuel efficiency at standard PTO speed (540 rpm) is 13.00 Hp.hr/gal (2.56 kW.h/l), with a fuel consumption of 3.51 Gal/hr (13.28 l/h) at 1700 rpm. At maximum power, the fuel consumption is 4.21 Gal/hr (15.94 l/h) with a fuel efficiency of 0.525 lb/hp.hr (0.319 kg/kW.h). The drawbar performance at rated engine speed (7th gear) is 53.13 HP (39.62 kW) with a drawbar pull of 5061 lbs (22.51 kN) at a speed of 4.46 mph (7.18 km/h) and a fuel consumption of 0.539 lb/hp.hr (0.327 kg/kW.h) with a fuel efficiency of 13.49 Hp.hr/gal (2.66 kW.h/l).
