These tractors are the best on the market and this re-vamp brings them way ahead using the latest technology. The engine is now turbo-charged, increased horse-power and even better on fuel economy. The cab has been re-designed to give much easier access, increased visibility and a more comfortable work environment.
Updates for 2007 are a new type compact sealed battery and a larger 72 litre fuel tank.
So what has the new Fendt got for you?
Engines
New engines from Deutz, turbocharged with up to 15% more torque and 5% less
fuel to meet EEC emissions criteria. Lower running costs with 500 hour oil
changes. Power outputs are up with 3 cylinder engines now producing 65 or
75 HP and 4 cylinder engines 86 or 94 HP.
Gearbox
Gearbox with speeds from 1.4 - 35 KPH with the minimum number of gears meshed
at any time to reduce power loss, wear and noise. Three available speeds between
5 and 8 KPH for maximum spraying efficiency.
PTO
PTO clutching and de-clutching is done by a push button on the right hand
console. 540 and 750 rear PTO speeds are standard with 1000 and ground speed
available as an option. Using the 750 speed (economy PTO) but reducing the
engine speed so the PTO only rotates at 540 means many jobs can be done at
increased fuel efficiency.
Front linkage & PTO
Front PTO and linkage is available as 540 or 1000 rpm. It can be ordered with
the tractor for factory fitment or retrospectively and is available on both
2 and 4 wheel drive tractors.
Four wheel drive
Four wheel drive, a new axle with centre drive line from the transmission
is standard. It has a 58 degree steering lock for tight turns and an improved
castor angle for greater comfort on straight ahead driving. The carrying capacity
of the front axle alone is 3800KG. Engagement of both 4wd and diff lock is
by touch pad on the dash board. New comfort controls allow for 4wd to automatically
disengage over 15 KPH and if the steering angle exceeds 18 degrees or be permanently
engaged.
Differential lock
Rear lock is also operated by touch pad on the dash board and is 100% disc
locking. As with the four wheel drive the diff locks will disengage over 15
KPH, if the steering angle exceeds 18 degrees and if the brakes are operated.
Due to their disc design the diff locks can be engaged under full load and
disengage immediately.
Brakes
The all new oil immersed disc brakes have improved the stopping time so that
the permissible all-up weight limit has been increased to 4000KG. On all 4wd
tractors the 4wd is engaged when the brakes are applied guaranteeing braking
on all four wheels.
Spool valves
Hydraulic oil flow has been increased and the systems refined to be the best
in the field. Up to 74 ltrs/min oil flow can be had through 3 circuits. The
swinging power lift can be operated in parallel with a spool valve. So you
may be operating a hydraulic motor on a mower, a vine trimmer or separate
spool block on a forklift and the rear hydraulics will function at the same
time. All spool valve outlets are adjustable for flow to operate the implement
safely at the correct speed. All levers are speed related, the further you
push the lever the quicker the oil flow. All spool valves are operated from
the control panel on the right of the cab, two spools are on the cross gate
lever and up to four more with their own levers and integrated flow controls.
The cross gate lever has a side button built in to operate a remote electrical
supply for changeover valve or override switching.
Hydraulics
Rear hydraulics are updated with EPC - B which has a shock loading system
built in. In transport with an implement on the hydraulics the rear power
lift lowers slightly as the tractor hits a bump, so reducing the bounce and
improving the ride. Higher driver comfort and greater control are the benefits.
A switch on the rear wing for raising and lowering the hydraulics is standard
fitment.
Cab and comforts
More room, greater head height, free access and roof window are just some
of the improvements made to the cab. Air conditioning is standard along with
a carbon filter. More legroom has been made by a smaller transmission tunnel,
height adjustable steering wheel and new "hung" pedal arrangement. The main
gear levers have been moved to the right hand side so there is unobstructed
entry and all operating levers are grouped together for optimum efficiency.
A radio/CD player keeps the driver whistling happily.
Displays
The new instrument panel has separate engine speed and forward speed displays
with additional switchable digital display of pto speeds, engine speed, forward
speed or time.
