For AGCO’s RoGator series, ergonomics starts before you get into the cab. In fact, it’s what helps get you there. These RoGators come equipped with a fold-down ladder with an easy first step, a friendly angle of ascent, wide-set handrails, and a wide walkway maximized at the cab side to allow what AGCO officials say is the widest cab door opening in its class. Two different walkway treads provide secure footing along with large tread holes for exceptional visibility to the left front wheel.
The new front entry design has made it possible for AGCO to offer an optional front-fill liquid system featuring larger fresh-water and hand-rinse tanks and faster reloading with better access to nurse tanks without folding up the boom.

The RoGator from AGCO comes in three different stainless steel tank capacities. The 984 and 984 H has a 900 U. S. gallon tank while the 1184 and 1184 H come outfitted with an 1,100-U. S. gallon capacity and the bigger 1300 can hold 1,386 U. S. gallons.
The Rogators have a 23-foot turning radius, which can shrink to 13.5 feet if equipped with the Gator Trak four-wheel steering option. The RoGator track widths can be changed from the cab to match up with the crop you are in. The Cab is a six-post design, which Agco says offers exceptional visibility and is the industry’s only cab designed specifically for application equipment. CAT engines power these RoGators with a four-speed transmission on the 900 and 1100 series and a six-speed transmission on the 1386.
