BUILT TO HANDLE DEMANDING JOBS- Consistent performance you can count on
Powered by 100 years of Rotax engine innovation, the Defender boasts industry-leading towing capacity, torque and cargo box capacity. It’s built for long hours of hard work with no complaints ever.
CLASS-LEADING TORQUE, QUIETER ROTAX ENGINES- HD7, HD9 & HD10
The HD7 Engine (52 hp / 42 lb-ft torque) is the king of the mid-cc class! The break-in period, early maintenance and frequent valve adjustments are all things of the past. The powerpack design delivers an improved riding experience, with less noise & vibration.
Tame the beast- You set the limits
Sometimes you just have to rein in all the power of this workhorse for seeding, crop spraying or moving cargo. With the speed limiter available on all Defenders, you're the one in control. Get ready for peak work efficiency.
Audio Roof- More than just a roof over your head
Here's the new waterproof sound system available in option. Six 7.7’’ speakers with Bluetooth compatibility, multi-colored LEDs, an RMC amp and a genuine JL audio receiver to crank up your playlists when you’re out there in the fields herding or baling to the beat of your own drum. Sounds good? You bet!
