The use of compact utility tractors (CUT) for a variety of small jobs, such as landscaping or grounds maintenance, has grown over the years due to their size, versatility, and maneuverability. With a 43-hp engine and a compact overall size for increased maneuverability, CUTs are ideal for maintaining playing fields and surrounding park grounds. CUTs are available with either gear or hydrostatic transmission, and are ergonomically designed for easy manipulation. They also include several safety features including an operator presence system and seat interlocks.
