🌟 Key Features
🚜 Jane Moose 4020 Diesel Tractor
- Iconic Vintage Styling: Modeled after classic American agricultural iron — featuring 16-faceted round wheels, front suitcase counterweights, graphite exhaust smokestack with rain flapper cap, cyclone pre-cleaner dome, contoured vinyl operator seat, ROPS canopy sunshade, and authentic yellow-striped green livery.

Monitor your fuel level live via the custom dashboard instrument cluster. - Working 3-Point Hitch: Back up to any Jane Moose implement to hitch it directly to your tractor's drawbar.
