MECHANICAL
The J.I. Case 610-B tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, suitable for light-duty tasks on firm, flat terrain but may struggle in muddy or uneven conditions. Its manual steering allows for better operator control but can tire the operator over extended use, while the disc brakes provide reliable stopping power. The 8-speed torque converter and shuttle transmission offer versatility in speed and direction, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent speed adjustments, though the lack of a cab may limit operator comfort in adverse weather conditions.
