In the Explorer/Strike MD lineup, the tractors were equipped with 34″ rear wheels and a 3,600 kg lift capacity. Customers could choose between a three-cylinder or a four-cylinder SAME FARMotion engine.

There was a wide range of transmission options. The base versions were 8+8 and 10+10 speeds, each of which could be doubled with a creeper gearbox. With the optional power shuttle (for quick direction changes), they offered 16+16 and 20+20 gears, both of which could again be equipped with a creeper range. All versions could be ordered, at extra cost, with a hydraulic shuttle unit featuring a Stop&Go function that allowed the tractor to be brought to a halt simply by pressing the brake pedal. Shuttle shift aggressiveness was user-adjustable via a potentiometer. The rear linkage was available in either mechanical or electronic form. Engagement of four-wheel drive, differentials, and the PTO was all done electrically. As an option, a 60 l/min ECO pump—which reaches full output at just 1,600 rpm—could be specified, and additional electronic spool valves could be fitted to it. Following SAME’s practice, disc brakes were also fitted on the front axle.

In the 2017 model year, the range added urea injection and was streamlined from five MD models down to just three.
