MECHANICAL
The McCormick-Deering Super AWD-6 tractor's 4x2 configuration offers a standard two-wheel drive, which may limit traction on slippery or uneven terrain, posing a challenge in adverse conditions. The differential manual drum brakes provide basic stopping power but may require more maintenance than modern hydraulic systems. The open operator station enhances visibility and comfort during operation, though it may lack protection against the elements, making it less suitable for harsh weather scenarios.
