OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES
When you purchased your tractor, you probably had it
completely equipped for your particular needs at the
time. However, later you may wish to obtain optional
equipment or accessories. These items and other
allied equipment can be purchased from, and
installed by, your authorized dealer.
The tractor is used for so many different types of
work, and because it is called on to operate under so
many different conditions, a variety of equipment is
available to adapt it to the requirements of the user.
Refer to equipment catalog.
