New Landini 7 Series tractors start production
Tue 6/11/2012
Production of an upgraded and realigned range of Landini 7 Series heavy-duty tractors begins at ARGO’s headquarters assembly plant in Italy this month.The five tractors – ranging from the 150/175hp Landini 7-180 to the 214/232hp 7-235 – feature the latest-spec six-cylinder diesels from FPT Industrial, strategic upgrades for the Autopowershift transmission and an improved driver’s cab.
“Since moving into this new power sector, a number of farmers and contractors have come to appreciate the performance, tough build and driver comfort of these Landini tractors,” says Ray Spinks, sales director at distributor AgriArgo UK. “The changes on the latest 7 Series machines bring greater power and torque, but also improved fuel economy, and an even better place for the driver to spend his day.”
The current line-up of six models has been rationalised into a five-tractor line-up as a result of significant power and torque increases, especially for the Dual Power feature, which is increased by as much as 20hp over the previous models.
Operators upgrading to a Landini 7 Series ‘SCR’ tractor should therefore see quite a lift in performance when Dual Power is automatically engaged when powering pto-driven implements, and also when towing with one of three ‘small frame’ models.
The 7-180 has 150hp maximum standard output and 175hp with Dual Power; the 7-195 gets 165hp for operating draft equipment such as a plough or cultivator and 188hp to tow trailers and drive power harrows; and the 7-205 has 175hp and 203hp for such operations.
Two ‘large frame’ tractors top out the line-up: they are the Landini 7-220 with 188hp for soil-engaging implements and 218hp when the pto is under load; and the 7-235, which peaks at 214hp and 232hp in such circumstances.
