- Hydraulic lifting capacity: Check dual-lever draft and position control systems to ensure smooth operation of heavy implements like disc harrows.
- Transmission options: Look for full constant mesh or synchromesh gearboxes with multi-speed reverse gears for seamless road and field shifting.
- Brake and steering mechanisms: Oil-immersed multi-disc brakes and balanced power steering reduce operator fatigue during long field hours.
