Standard head lights and real work light deliver powerful illumination of the work site. There is also a light for reversing, turned on automatically when the shuttle shift lever is in reverse.

Full hydrostatic steers finger-light. Streering cylinder is well protected against damege in rough terrain. The front axles, both on two-wheel-drive and on four-wheel-drive and on four-wheel-drive models, have 56 degree steering angle for a tight turning radiaus.

The standard shuttle shift makes it possible to go forward and reverse at about the same speed-great adventage for front loader work. Large capacity synchronizer allows easy shifting, even if the tractor did not come to a full stop-just depress the clutch pedal and move the shuttle shift lever. The left location of the shuttle shift leaves the right and free to operate the loader controls.

Tilt steering wheel is standard on both series 10 & 20

The PTO shift lever on series (10/20/30) selects either 540 or 1000 PTO rpm, for total compatibility with any current or future implement. The all-mechanical transmission is very efficient, so the power loss between the engine and PTO is kept to a minimum. After all, it is the PTO where you need the horsepower most.

Splash shields help keep the platform clean and protect the operator.

Efficient smooth acting wet brakes are controlled by two pedals and practically maintenace free.

Fully synchronized main gear shift selects one of four speeds. You can shift on the go, after depressing the clutch pedal.

The differential lock improves traction on slippery surface.

Foldable ROPS is standard on series 10/20. It lets you enter very low buildings.

The standard Draft Control on series 20/30 improves productivity and job quality with tillage equipment and blades. Optional single remote hydraulic set. Use it to operate an implement cylinder, or to supply oil to the backhoe and save on expensive pump kits normally required to run the backhoe.

The three-point hitch is compaitible with any Category l implement and is standard on series 10/20. Seven-pole electrical socket supplies power to trailers and implements. Socket is installed on series 10/20 with remote hydraulic outlets. Convenient, crank-operated levelling adjustment.

The PTO drive is "live" and completely separate from tractor drive. The heavy duty dual clutch in the engine flywheel on series 10/20 has separate plates for tractor drive and for PTO drive. To stop the tractor (or to shift gears), push the clutch pedal half-way. PTO will continue to run. To also stop PTO, push the clutch pedal all the way down. This proven dual-clutch system is all-mechanical, simple in design and practically maintenance-free.

Comfortable seat has spring suspension, slides forward / backward and is adaptable for operator's weight. The high seat position above the floor significantly improves operator's comport.

High capacity, live hydraulic pump is large enough to efficiently run the front loader and a backhoe. The steering system uses a separate pump, so all the oil from the main pump is available for the three-point hitch or for the loader all the time. Both hydraulic pumps are mounted externally so they are easily accessible.
