The operator’s cab has oversize windows to provide the operator with an unobstructed panoramic view of the work area. Automatic climate control is standard, and sensors continuously monitor the temperature settings to ensure operator comfort.

The machine is powered by a 164-hp, four-cylinder diesel engine.
