Open Operator's Station

The design of the operator's station focuses on comfort and visibility with a sloped hood, high-back seat, and easy step-through access. The controls are color-coded for ease of use, enhancing the overall operator experience and making control and visibility clear during operation.

Top-down view of a awn tractor showing the hood, steering wheel, yellow operator seat, rear hitch assembly, and wide tires.
Hydrostatic Transmission

Equipped with a standard HST transmission featuring Twin Touch™ foot pedals, this compact utility tractor offers increased performance and convenience. The hydrostatic drive allows for infinite ground speeds even at full throttle, providing smooth and precise operation, particularly useful for loader and mower applications.

More Time Working, Less Time Switching Implements

With Quick Connect Solutions like the AutoConnect™ Deck System, Quik-Park™ Loader, iMatch™ Quick Hitch, and Quik-Knect™ PTO connector, operators can attach or detach implements in under a minute—often without leaving the seat.
