DeutZ-Fahr has introduced the Agrofarm 430 TTV with a continuously variable transmission, the first time such a transmission has been fitted to a multi-purpose tractor in the 110hp power range.
Innovative and featuring a very simple and reliable construction, the new transmission offers all the advantages in terms of precise speed control of the continuously variable transmissions used in high-power tractors.
Due to the revolutionary kinematics system, the high efficiency of the transmission is comparable to the level offered by conventional mechanical transmissions. The design of the transmission also enables the tractor to quickly reach speeds of up to 40 km/hr with the
engine running at only 1800 rpm which means fuel consumption is reduced by a significant amount. Tractor speed is controlled by means of a joystick which, when selecting zero speed, may be used to bring the tractor to a stop without having to apply the brakes.
The Agrofarm 430 TTV is powered by an electronically managed Deutz four-cylinder Tier III, turbocharged and intercooled engine rated at 109hp and 100% compatible with the use of biodiesel fuel (B100).
An impressively large 55-degree steering angle provides a high degree of maneuverability in all types of field applications, while the continuously variable transmission makes it possible to adjust and control speeds to match operating conditions.
PTO speed is independent of tractor speed which allows Agrofarm 430 TTV operators to alter the forward speed yet maintain a constant speed at the pto. This is especially useful for certain jobs, such as baling or fertiliser spreading.
The new tractor is also equipped with a service/parking brake called Park-Brake. This system is used to apply the parking brake when the vehicle parked and hydraulically releases the service/parking brake when the engine is turned on.
DEUTZ-FAHR’s Agrofarm 430 TTV tractor has a generous amount of standard equipment that makes it an ideal tractor to use in a wide range of duties. Standard equipment includes a three-speed pto (540/750/1,000 rpm or 540/1,000/Syncro rpm), electrohydraulically operated differential locks, open-center hydraulic system with 60 lit/min pump and hydraulic lift capacity of 5,300 kg.
The Agrofarm 430 TTV, with its continuously variable transmission, is an extremely versatile and reliable tractor which has the ability to make a major contribution to the successful running of a farm business – whether it be an arable or a livestock farm.
