A smooth auto shift hydrostatic transmission is coupled with an automatic two-speed gearbox, which provides a faster travel speed of up to 23 mph — a 21 percent increase in speed over the K-Series models.

Remote diagnostics enable a dealer to read codes, record performance data and even update software without a trip to the job site.
