The available loaders feature simultaneous lift/curl capabilities and a live third function for smooth, continuous operation. The loader valve and joystick are integrated directly into the loader, so when the loader is removed, the valve and joystick stay with the tractor.

The backhoe also features a new attachment method for simplified installation and removal.

Inside the Farmall 45A, 50A and 55A tractors, operators will find a premium cushioned seat, a spacious platform, intuitive joystick control and clear sightlines down the loader arms. A Series models are open ROPS and do not offer an enclosed-cab option.

The tractors have easy access to maintenance points and a 300-hour engine oil service interval.
