The engine is small compared to most tractors, with 22 horsepower. It can run at up to 2800 rpm, which is very fast for a tractor engine. The tractor weighs 2293 pounds, which is light for its class. It has a three-point hitch at the back that can lift up to 1432 pounds, which is about average for similar tractors.

The tractor has a rear PTO (power take-off) that can run at 540 rpm, useful for powering attachments. It also has an open center hydraulic system and uses electric start for easy operation. This tractor is a good choice for small farms or as a helper tractor for bigger operations.
