MECHANICAL
The Farmtrac 45 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which offers excellent maneuverability in flat terrain but may struggle in soft or uneven ground conditions. Its mechanical rear differential lock enhances traction on challenging surfaces, while power steering improves control and reduces operator fatigue during long hours of use. However, the open operator station may expose the operator to harsh weather, necessitating adequate protection for optimal comfort in varied farming scenarios.
