It is powered by a 6-cylinder, liquid-cooled, naturally aspirated diesel engine with a displacement of 401 cubic inches and a compression ratio of 16.3 to 1. The engine produces 100.2 horsepower at 2300 RPM. The tractor has a two-speed power shift transmission with 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, with detailed travel speeds provided for each gear. It is available in both 2WD and optional 4WD configurations. The unladen tractor mass is 9851 pounds. The hydraulic system features an open-center design with a pump delivery rate of 10.6 GPM at minimum pressure and 9.1 GPM at maximum hydraulic power of 11.7 HP at 2610 psi delivery pressure. The PTO speeds are 540 rpm at 1890 engine rpm and 1000 rpm at 2049 engine rpm. The brakes are multiple wet disc operated by two foot pedals that can be locked together. Detailed drawbar performance data and atmospheric conditions during testing are also provided.
