A high clearance version was also manufactured. The extra clearance was achieved by a modified final drive casing with an extra gear and the crown wheel was reversed to drive the cross shaft in the opposite direction so allowing for the additional gear in the final drive.
A total of 397 high clearance TEN tractors were produced.
