Deutz-Fahr has launched its new 5-Series tractors that meets all Stage V emissions regulations and also boast a new design that offers versatility, agility and improved operator comfort and safety.
With powerful FARMotion Stage V engines, efficient transmissions with Automatic PowerShift (APS), high-capacity hydraulics, all-round LED lighting, built-in compatibility with SDF Smart Farming Solutions systems and an all-new design, the new 5-Series represents the latest evolution in Deutz-Fahr utility tractors.
There are five models in the 5-Series range with power outputs from 95hp to 126hp and a choice of three transmission configurations, including hydraulic PowerShuttle with Stop&Go function giving greater flexibility, and a comprehensive range of accessories to cater for the needs of any user.
The new FARMotion 35 and 45 engines deliver impressive power and torque over a generous range of engine speeds. The highly modular transmission contributes to the multi-role versatility of the 5-Series and its ability to tackle any task.
Depending on the transmission configuration, the 5-Series covers a range of working speeds from 300m/hr (for ultra-slow tasks with supercreeper gear) up to 40km/hr at economy engine speeds (for lower fuel consumption, noise and vibration when used for high speed road transport tasks).
With up to 60F/60R gears and the newly available APS function, the 5-Series selects the most appropriate powershift ratio automatically for maximum performance. The APS system also includes a dial that allows the operator to set the priority of how the APS function is managed in different working environments.
The PTO offers four speeds (540/540E/1,000/1,000E) as standard, and is engaged via an electrohydraulically controlled multiplate wet clutch. The 5-Series is also offered with the option of a groundspeed PTO with independent output shaft and a 1,000rpm front PTO.
Excellent agility of the new 5-Series is assured via the generous steering angle of the front axle, a power shuttle with adjustable response setting, the Stop&Go system and the SDD rapid steering function. For example, when working with a front loader these features make a job easier, more precise and quicker.
The 5-Series is available with a wide choice of narrow and municipal tyres.
The hydraulic system has up to eight rear couplers, and can be equipped with a 90 lit/min version. A completely electronic rear lift is also available, featuring an oscillation damping system and automatic PTO engagement. In addition to the 5,400kg rear lift capacity, with the option of a 2,100kg front lift.
The tractor’s Hydraulic Parking Brake holds the tractor securely even on high gradients and when heavily loaded, with up to 250 per cent more braking power than a conventional system, and reduces power losses by 1.5kW (approximately 2hp) compared with a conventional system.
A state-of-the-art data transmission device connects the tractor directly to the farm and enables the use of SDF Smart Farming Solutions – a new digital suite that simplifies tracking and data acquisition to facilitate subsequent decision making processes. Adding CTM telematics connectivity gives you real-time access from the comfort of the office to the performance data of the machines at work, providing precise information on their position, diesel consumption, average speed and working hours, as well as any error or information codes.
The TopVision cab design and layout offers greater levels of comfort and ergonomics. The four-pillar structure of the cab and generous glazing ensures unimpeded all-round view, while the innovative Hydro Silent-Block cab suspension increases comfort. Fully adjustable steering column and air suspension seat with folding passenger seat further enhances the operator experience. High-visibility roof and opening hatch, high-quality climate control system, DAB audio system with Bluetooth and USB ports are additional features on board the new 5-Series.
When working at night, up to 12 LED work lights can be mounted on cab roof, with additional work lights installed on the cab pillars and on the new grille of the cowl.
