			#Wheel shafts are 1 7/8" for interchangeability with LifeTrac I infrastructure.
			#Loader on both front and back of tractor for doubling implement-handling ability
			#Quick attach plate upgraded for easier latching (taller, narrower fingers)
			#Frame tubing - 4x4x1/4 inch steel tubing.
			#Monolithic rod for mounting loaders runs the width of the machine. Two of these are used for 2 loaders. Loader attachment towards mid-front of tractor for weight balance. Rear loader is extra heavy duty for angled and tilted blades.
			#Ready adaptability for 1, 2, or 3 [[Power Cube]]s. 2 power cubes can fit on the rear. Another can be placed on the rear loader.
			#Dually wheel configuration available.
			#Wheel tracks readily adaptable.
			#Frame design similar to the front piece of [[LifeTrac]] I.
			#Skid steering.
			#Hydraulics are completely quick connected.
			#Power Cube is self-contained, with only external connection to tractor being 2 hydrauilic lines, with 12 and 28 GPM couplers used throughout.
