Applications&Scenarios
How will these features benefit you in detailed scenarios?
Paddy Fields& wet and muddy ground
The ultra-high ground clearance is a key feature of paddy field tractors. AN-702 has 440mm ground clearance, which is higher than that of ordinary wheeled tractors (typically <400mm). This ensures that the chassis will not bottom out or be blocked by mud or weeds, even when operating in deep mud, thus guaranteeing continuous maneuverability and operational efficiency.
The 400mm-wide rubber tracks and the overall machine weight of 1880kg collectively achieve extremely low ground pressure. The pressure is distributed over a large area, allowing the machine to “float” on soft, wet ground, effectively preventing sinking, protecting the field embankments, and avoiding deep ruts that could damage the flatness of the rice field.
The 1200mm track width and 1505mm ground contact length lead to excellent longitudinal and lateral stability. They can prevent rollovers or skidding in muddy environments, thus ensuring your safety.
Orchards&Greenhouses
Its compact size, with a width of only 1.7 meters, allows this crawler tractor to easily navigate between rows of low-growing fruit trees or through narrow greenhouse spaces without bumping into branches or greenhouse walls. The advantage makes it ideal for precision agricultural management.
The turning radius of 2500mm is the key advantage in terms of maneuverability. It supports this crawler tractor to easily turn around or change direction in very narrow spaces, significantly reducing the need for repeated maneuvering at the field edges. This improves the operational efficiency, making it particularly suitable for your work in confined spaces.
Hilly&Sloped Terrain
The max gradability of 35° is an outstanding feature, demonstrating the crawler tractor’s capability to handle the majority of slopes in hilly and mountainous terrain, thus expanding the range of agricultural operations, including plowing and transportation.
The tracked drive system, compared to a wheeled system, offers unparalleled traction. It grips the ground firmly, effectively preventing skidding and side-slipping, resulting in far greater safety than wheeled tractors.
HST Continuously Variable Transmission is crucial for operations on slopes. The system, with extremely smooth and precise speed control, can eliminate the shocks and jerks caused by shifting gears on inclines and prevent the risk of stalling or loss of control. Thus, you can have safer and more reliable operation when starting and stopping on slopes.
Multi-Purpose Farming
The dual-speed PTO, featuring 540/720 rpm, is a standard international feature. With this standard, most mainstream agricultural implements worldwide, such as rotary tillers, plows, harrows, seeders, mowers, sprayers, etc., can be well connected to this crawler tractor, enabling truly multi-functional use.
The three-point hitch system is essential for connecting and operating these agricultural implements, ensuring their lifting, lowering, and depth control.
The power output of 55kW provides ample power reserves for all these tasks. So the tractor can work efficiently even under heavy loads, such as deep tilling, without any power limitations.
Light Duty Construction&Transport
The optional bulldozing attachment directly expands the crawler tractor’s application range, from purely agricultural areas into light-duty construction work, such as digging trenches in orchards, leveling ground, moving fertilizer piles, and snow removal, thus creating additional value for you.
The rubber tracks are essential for their use in construction and transportation. Unlike steel tracks, they do not damage concrete or asphalt surfaces, allowing them to legally travel on roads for short distances or to move between job sites without fear of being prohibited or fined.

FAQ
Q: Rubber tracks may not seem as durable as steel tracks, so what about their replacement cost and lifespan?
A: It is a common misunderstanding. In fact, rubber tracks are high-performance components designed for specific operating conditions. Their value lies in their versatility and ability to protect the ground surface.
Our rubber tracks are made with high-strength steel cores and wear-resistant rubber compounds. They are specifically designed for agricultural and light industrial applications. With proper use, avoiding high-speed operation on extremely rough gravel surfaces or areas with sharp debris, they offer a very long service life.
The cost of replacing a single track is transparent. And the replacement process is simpler and faster than replacing the entire track assembly of a steel track. Thus reducing downtime.
Q: Are HST continuously variable transmissions reliable? Compared to traditional gearboxes, is there a significant loss of power?
A: HST technology is now highly mature and reliable, and is a hallmark of modern high-performance compact devices.
The HST system is a closed system, which prevents external contamination. The design life of its main components (pump and motor) is synchronized with that of the machine itself, resulting in very high reliability and lower maintenance requirements compared to traditional clutches that require frequent operation.
While it’s true that HSTs have a slightly lower maximum power transmission efficiency than gearboxes (around 5-10% less), the small loss in efficiency is offset by significant gains in productivity.
Taking the infinite speed control as an example, the engine always operates at its optimal RPM, when vehicle speed can be infinitely adjusted. This helps to achieve optimal power matching. In most real-world operating conditions, it actually leads to better fuel economy.
