Argo Tractors presented its biggest ever collection of new Landini models at Agritechnica 2013 at Hanover, Germany, as the company’s major investment in product development begins to bear fruit.
Previewing more new tractors than any other manufacturer at the event, in preparation for their commercial launch in 2014, Argo’s Landini exhibits included the Series 4 livestock tractors and Series 6C mid-range models. Both feature more upmarket cab designs with spacious interiors and modern mechanical or electronic controls, and new options to deliver increased performance and productivity.
Landini Series 4
The all-new Series 4 tractors range from 61-101hp and comprise six models powered by either 2.9-litre or 3.6-litre engines and with a new Argo Tractors synchro shuttle 12×12 transmission that can be enhanced by creep, power shuttle and hi-lo powershift options.
The new Argo-built cab, with an interior design using materials to automotive standard, is said to be the most spacious low-profile design available in this class.
The new range will slot in beneath the newly launched 85-113hp Landini Series 5-H T4i, which is a little larger and heavier, and will be ideally suited to livestock farms and other operations wanting a light, highly manoeuvrable and well-equipped tractor of this size and power.
Landini Series 6C
Two new Series 6C mid-range tractors will become available in 2014, with new specification options that make it a more sophisticated and capable tractor than the current Powermondial.
Power outputs of 111hp and 121hp for draft work, boosting to 121hp and 133hp for PTO and transport are channelled through an improved 36×12 transmission with three-speed powershift.
Hydraulic pump output is increased to 66 lit/min to handle more demanding implements and, for the first time, a closed-centre piston pump option with 110 lit/min output will be available.
Cab and front-axle suspension options are being introduced for added driver comfort and to complement the availability of 50km/hr gearing.
