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.
