off-road capability
and we'll trust that the farmer won't scream around with it like on an ATV...
I think what they want to say is that it has a little higher ground clearance and tires that are appropriate for use on fields

off-road simply means "not on roads"

field-manoeuvrable
There may be no exact term; it means the machine can traverse fields and soil with bogging down. Tractors are designed for exactly that so it's not an 'extra' specification, unlike this present case (it seems).
