I saw this as a part of the description of a 5520, not sure what that means. Can anyone help me understand?

thanks,
Mark

Not so much as related to conforming to any ISO standard. But referring to an operator's platform that is a flat deck and isolated from the rest of the chassis by way of rubber mounting blocks similar to what a full cab would have. The other choice would be a similar model having the operator straddle the transmission in the seated position.

Ok what is /does ISO mean/stand for? I wish that there was a key. And how about horse power or some other information about your tractor beyond the model numbers. I am always wondering or searching the web to figure out what sort of scale is being talked about. Wish that all tractors were as clear as my TC35A. A 35HP tractor. New Holland has relabeled it again, I don't even know what the new label is.
Thanks Boatyard

ISO = International Standards Organization. A group whose purpose is to define manufacturing or other standards which, when referred to in product advertising or labelling, must be adhered to.

The JD 5520 is a 75 PTO HP tractor (90+ engine HP).

ISO can mean many things, but I think in the context of the question it is an abbreviation:

ISO. = Isolated

ISO Platform = Isolated Platform, which was described earlier.

Less vibration reaches the operator on an isolated platform compared to a hard mounted or non-isolated one.

RickB is correct. It is an Isolated Platform which gives the operator a smoother ride and a clear deck for his feet. If I remember, it was an $800 option back in 2002.
