New generation, large-chassis AGCO ST Series tractors add higher horsepower versions of their lower power siblings to fill out the ST compact line. Like their lower horsepower counterparts, the four new compacts emphasize comfort and serviceability with three of them, the ST34A, the ST47A and the ST52A available with a factory-installed ROPS cab. All four, including the ST41A, are designed specifically for use with the new pedestal-mount loader for quick mount and dismount and offer a joystick as a factory-installed option. Like other new generation STs, they also share a tilt hood, open platform and ergonomically placed controls.
