MECHANICAL
The Satoh S373 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction on varied terrain, ideal for light agricultural tasks. Its 8-speed transmission provides versatility in field operations, but the manual steering may require more physical effort and skill, particularly in tight spaces. The open operator station increases operator visibility but lacks protection from the elements, which could impact comfort during prolonged use.
