Comprising three models from 150 to 175hp, the new 6K range launched at EIMA is described as a true allrounder.
Designed to strengthen the brand’s presence in this power segment with a multi-functional tractor that is equally at home in the field, on the road, or with a loader, many key components, including the engine, transmission, cab, and front axle are all made in-house.
The new 5.8-litre DF6 six-cylinder common rail engine with e-VGT turbocharger technology) develops a high torque (up to 778Nm) at a low engine speed.
The engine is paired with one of two transmission; the TTV or new RCshift. The latter has six powershift steps in each of its four robotized ranges. This provides 10 speeds from 4-12km/hr, and runs at 40km/hr at a low engine speed.
The four-post MaxiVision Gen2 cab has a new roof-integrated climate control system, 12-inch digital iCluster, and new joystick and armrest. Mechanical cab suspension is standard (pneumatic cab suspension optional).
With a 120l/min load sensing hydraulics, up to five rear spool valves can be specified. Rear lift capacity is 8.4t (front 4.1t) and it is possible to request four-wheel braking.
Production is due to start at the end of Q1/early Q2 next year and there is a good chance we will see one of the new models at LAMMA in January.
