The driving ease and productivity benefits of CVT transmission technology available in the latest Landini tractors will be highlighted on the Argo Tractors stand at Lamma 2020.
Argo manufactures V-Shift versions of the 166hp to 192hp six-cylinder 7 Series tractors, the 141hp to 176hp four-cylinder 7 Series and the 114hp to 140hp four-cylinder Landini 6C tractors.
At the Lamms Show, Landini CVT technology will be showcased by the series-topping 6-145C V-Shift, a high-specification mid-range machine with 130hp for draft work and up to 140hp for transport and PTO-implement applications.
Landini product specialist Andy Starbuck noted that manufacturers first introduced CVT technology in their most powerful arable tractors.
“But it has since filtered down to smaller models, giving livestock and smaller arable farms, and commercial horticulture, access to the features and benefits it offers,” he said. “Argo Tractors was among the first to offer CVT in the 100-140hp power bracket, and farmers operating tractors of that size are beginning to appreciate what it has to offer for field and loader work.”
A purpose-designed transmission engineered by Argo Tractors goes into the Landini 6C V-Shift to provide seamless speed control and acceleration from standstill to top speed, without any manual shifting involved.
And with no need to use the clutch pedal for speed-matched forward-to-reverse shifting, V-Shift technology also creates an ideal loader tractor.
“That also results in a very comfortable driving experience for the operator,” Mr Starbuck said. “But also a very efficient one for all yard, field and road work, because the engine and transmission automatically find the optimum revs and gearing for the load, power and torque demands.”
The net result includes potential for welcome fuel savings and productivity gains, and also improved quality of work when handling speed-critical field operations such as seedbed preparation and stone/clod separation for potatoes and similar crops.
