The hydraulic system offered a capacity of around 7.7 GPM to power implements and loaders. The 3-point hitch was a Category II, providing a lift capacity of approximately 3,300 lbs. The 585 saw use across various farming applications, including row crop work, hay production, livestock operations, and light tillage. It distinguished itself with its robust construction, dependable engine, and user-friendly design, making it a workhorse on many farms.
