Italian tractor brand Landini has launched a new range of the popular Rex series on their home soil at the recent EIMA 2016 fair.
Distributed in Australia by Inlon, the specialised horticulture and viticulture machines feature four versions and numerous variants and options that should satisfy most requirements.
With the exception of the GE (low) version which is a platform only model, all come with an air conditioned cab.
Other upgrades include a 4-cylinder 2.9-litre Deutz Tier 4 Interim equipped engine with Diesel Oxidation Catalyst which deliver peak power at 2200 RPM in models offering from 50 – 80 kilowatts.
An engine memo switch can memorize the engine speed for operator convenience.
A new Landini built transmission has a mechanical or hydraulic reverse shuttle, four speeds and three ranges and allows options of hi-lo and high-medium-low, and creeper.
The tractors are available in two or four wheel drive.
The Rex 4 Series offers either mechanical or hydraulic PTOs, depending on the transmission, with two or four speeds (540, 540 Eco, 1000 and 1000 Eco).
The hydraulic system features a 55 + 30 litre a minute double pump (60 + 30 l/min in the GT version) or a 25 + 55 + 30 l/min triple pump for cabbed versions.
The hydraulic circuit is completed by neatly positioned control valves that maximise cabin space and vision, a flow selector and flow divider are optional.
Either mechanical and/or electro-hydraulic control valves are available.
The compact size and a 55 degree steering angle minimises the turning circle and a vineyard version offers a high pivot axle with increased swing.
Beside the rigid version, all F and GT models now come with a central suspension system for the very first time.
Landini says the tractors’ stylish new look and entirely redesigned cab provide the operator with a new working environment and offers improved vision, more functionality and more precise controls to make front or rear implement operation easier and quicker.
