Powered by 36-hp Mitsubishi diesel engines, the 8435 and 8435 HST four-wheel-drive compact utility tractors offer two power-train model options. The 8435 features a synchro-shuttle shift transmission; and the 8435 HST has a hydrostatic transmission, which provides infinitely variable speed selection with simple foot-pedal control. Cruise control allows the operator to hold a set speed for extended periods without foot-pedal pressure. Both machines have hydraulic power steering and independent rear-wheel wet disc brakes.
