The pasquali 997 is powered by a 2cyl air cooled diesel made by ruggerini, it is rated in the low 30's for horse power. The machine is full time 4wd with diff. lock it has 9sp forward 3sp reverse, 3pt, 2sp pto+ ground speed pto. It is super easy to drive and manuever since it articulates the front and rear tires always run in the same tracs. I bought this a few years ago but don't use it much (actualy for sale) it just sits and takes up space. I have a 5 foot mckee snowblower on back and it handles it real well. Tires are all loaded and yes it will pull, climb, or go over anything.
