Argitechnica 2009 is set to be a busy time for Deutz-Fahr as it launches its most powerful tractor yet – the 305hp Deutz-Fahr Agrotron X730.
Now topping out the Deutz-Fahr X-series tractor range is the new X730, which is powered by a Deutz turbocharged engine rated at 305hp. With four valves/cylinder, the engine employs the Deutz common-rail high-pressure fuel injection system and externally cooled exhaust gas recirculation.
An amazingly high torque engine – maximum torque is 1,206 Nm at an engine speed of just 1,600 rpm – gear shifting within the 50km/hr, 40-forward/40-reverse transmission with its automatic powershift can be kept to the minimum and, as a result, improved fuel economy is achieved.
Key features of the new tractor include a new and stronger rear axle design and a front axle with external disc brakes. These discs have a diameter of 590mm and have an active re-set which, when the brakes are not in use, pulls the pads away from the discs to prevent noise and wear caused by dirt.
In the cab, the X730 is equipped with the new comprehensive operator information panel as used in the Agrotron TTV630 and can, if specified, also be fitted with the new iMonitor. Options also extend to pneumatic or semi-active cab suspension.
A load sensing hydraulic system with an output of 177 lit/min is standard and provides a maximum rear linkage lift of 10,500kg and 4,500kg for the front linkage. The rear pto provides 540E and 1,000 rpm and the front, 1,000rpm.
A truly powerful tractor, the 305hp Deutz-Fahr Agrotron X730 will be a popular choice for arable farmers looking for a reliable, fuel efficient tractor capable of producing high outputs.
