At EIMA 2024, Antonio Carraro demonstrated its concentrate on discovering options to retain the compact dimensions typical of AC tractors whereas growing the ability of the engine.
The F28 Collection
The F28 sequence is the newest technology of engines that’s famend worldwide not just for its energy and reliability, but in addition for its environmental friendliness. These are state-of-the-art engines, outfitted with anti-pollution applied sciences, whose effectiveness meets probably the most stringent exhaust emissions requirements.
The brand new engines will likely be assembled from 2025 on all fashions within the Cento sequence and the R sequence. The 11200 propulsion unit engine is an impressive achievement for the corporate, which, for the primary time in its historical past, is ready to present autos with over 100 hp, nimble, compact and absolutely compliant with Stage V laws.
SRe
SRe is a completely electrical machine with probably the most unique options of AC tractors – compact, isodiametric, reversible and articulated.
This novel idea tractor takes its cue from the actual wants of contemporary end-users, who’re environmentally acutely aware however unwilling to sacrifice efficiency and operational consolation.
Preserving the ACTIOTM articulated chassis, a function frequent to all AC autos, and the Class 4 pressurised cab with air con, the SRe is a completely redesigned tractor, starting with the transmission.
Two electrical motors propel the automobile – the primary (50 kW – 68 hp) straight drives the four-speed mechanical transmission, offering optimum pace management and making certain peak torque always, whereas the second (35 kW – 48 hp) manages the ability take-off and all of the machine’s small utilities.
The motors are powered by a 38 kWh battery pack with a voltage of 400 V, which might be recharged from the mains or from a charging station with a class 2 connection.
The putting, revolutionary function of this tractor is that it’s, to all intents and functions, a repeatedly variable machine, the place the pace and PTO are absolutely managed by a extremely environment friendly electrical propulsion unit, which delivers the identical efficiency as a 100 hp tractor however with zero environmental influence.
SRe is equally fitted to use with typical in addition to newly developed electrified tools. It’s fitted with a rear energy raise with three-point Class 1 and a couple of hitch, 540/540E PTO, proportional joystick for hydraulic tools and energy socket for electrical tools with an influence output as much as 10 kW at a voltage of 48 V.
The Infinity Collection
The very newest AC designs for precision processing with technical options proceed to achieve recognition with the Infinity Collection fashions, compact tractors with hydrostatic transmission and reversible drive. At Eima 2024, the highlight will likely be on the TR 5800 Infinity mannequin.
The Infinity transmission is the frequent thread working by means of the vary – it allows work to be carried out in each instructions on the identical speeds – from 0-15 with the mechanical working vary and from 0-40 km/h with the mechanical street vary.
Every mechanical vary is provided with 3 hydraulic ranges, which might be engaged manually or in computerized transmission mode, with no lack of traction. The journey pedal additionally assists in braking on slopes, stopping the automobile when it’s launched, even when the brakes usually are not utilized. Cruise Management (or Tempomat), Restrict RPM, Intellifix, Drive Mode, Quick Reverse and Uniflex suspension enable the operator to at all times discover the fitting set-up for the job.
On the Infinity fashions, the clutch is simply used for initiating movement and acts as a security gadget within the occasion that the automobile must be stopped immediately.
The electro-hydraulic reverser on the steering wheel is exceptionally sensible for ahead/reverse manoeuvring, even these of a repetitive nature, with out utilizing the clutch.
The brakes are nearly redundant because the accelerator pedal not solely controls ahead journey but in addition decelerates the tractor to a standstill – the whole transmission is managed utilizing the accelerator pedal alone.
The Tony Collection
Within the highlight at EIMA 2024 was the Tony V fashions within the 8700 and 11700 variations with typical, mono-directional chassis, the Tony 8900 SR, isodiametric, articulated and reversible, the Tony 8900 TTR, isodiametric, reversible, with steered wheels and large monitor, the Mach 4 Tony quad-track and, in fact, the Tony 8900 TRG, Finalist Tractor of the Yr. The complete Tony vary encompasses a software-controlled mechanical-hydrostatic hybrid transmission.
Tony mechanical-hydrostatic hybrid transmission units the usual in cutting-edge AC manufacturing. Managed by software program and outfitted with SIM – Shift In Movement know-how, it offers 4 electronically managed pace ranges, switchable from standstill or on the transfer.
It’s a compact transmission with computerized options managed by the ITAC (Clever Tractor AC) working system, similar to Tractor Administration Management (TMC) which simplifies driver operations.
Centralised management designed to make sure the tractor continuously works in optimum circumstances when it comes to financial savings and productiveness. The system offers a number of capabilities, together with sustaining parameters whereas working even throughout adjustments in slope, uphill or downhill.
Finalist within the prestigious Tractor of the Yr 2025 competitors, the brand new hydrostatic mannequin within the Tony sequence options totally different wheel sizes, a inflexible chassis and reversible steering. Tony 8900 TRG, outfitted with a 72.4 hp, Stage V engine, combines, like no different AC mannequin, power, stability, compactness and accuracy in operation.
On-board consolation is additional enhanced by the optionally accessible AIR cab, that includes a spacious, comfy driver’s seat for a big, habitable working house.
