All gears are shaved, and bearings are sealed, for less contamination and longer life.
Low profile cutterbed cuts lower with less crop scalloping.
Cage conveyors and turbulence reduction roll. Higher productivity and smoother windrows
than a floating auger.
Cutterbed efficiency. Crop lifters are not needed across entire cutterbed, conserving
horsepower.
Fully engaged steel rolls for fast crop dry-down and minimal leaf loss. Steel rolls also have
a longer useful life than rubber rolls.
Tractor
Hydraulic header flotation, for longer header life and ease of operator adjustment.
Cummins QSB engine, noted for economy, reliability, and long life.
Easy serviceability of tractor, evidenced by tilting engine cover, as compared to only flip up
side shields.
Large drive and tail wheel tires, for superior ride at all field speeds.
Natural front to rear engine airflow, for more efficient engine cooling.
Engine air intake sits up forward and high, away from most chaff.
Cab
Modern wide cab, with curved front glass for excellent visibility.
Control layout all at eye level, for less operator fatigue.
Field performance data incorporated into monitor, to assist operator in measuring
productivity.
Monitor allows ground speed, flotation pressure, and one of eight other functions to be
continuously monitored.
Cab heater is standard, for more comfortable operator climate in spring, fall, and at night.
