The Italian brand Valpadana (Argo Tractors) presents several models at Agritechnica 2015, providing a comprehensive view of the diversification that the brand is able to offer depending on the client’s needs. It starts with the isodiametric VP 4600 offered in a single-direction platform version. Extra compact in size, with engine power ratings from 23 to 48 Hp, they have great manoeuvrability and versatility, achieved through a minimum width of 970 mm and a turning radius on the outer wheel of only 2320 mm. This series includes Yanmar 3 and 4 cylinder motors, a powerful multi-disc oil bath braking system, a transmission with synchronized reverser with 8 FWD + 4 REV and completely independent PTO with dedicated oil bath multi-plate clutch. The lift with lowering speed regulator and maximum lifting capacity of 1,000 kg is standard.
The VP 7000 Series in the “AR” platform version (articulated and reversible) is equipped with 3200 cc FPT engines 4-cylinder turbo stage 3. The series is characterized by the transmission 16 FWD + 16 REV with mechanical reverser and creeper (0.8 to 40 km/h) as standard.
Also in the spotlight, the VP 9000 Series, isodiametric in-cab version with a reversible driving seat as standard. The VP 9000 range is a significant milestone in the high range of Valpadana isodiametrics, responding specifically to the needs of the specialized tractor market.
Two models are equipped with FPT engines, 4-cylinder 3.2-litre Tier 3, with powers of up to 88 Hp and 95 Hp respectively. The platform, cushioned with silent-blocks, is reversible. All operational functions are managed through easy and intuitive controls, which integrate mechanics, hydraulics and electronics in a balanced way. The 16 FWD + 16 REV transmission is equipped with mechanical Synchro Shuttle and creeper (0.8 to 40 km/h) as standard. The shuttle lever has a De-Clutch button that allows the reversal without using the clutch pedal, and a second De-Clutch is available on demand on the gear lever, confirming the high level of comfort of these tractors. The VP 7000 and VP 9000 offer a new joystick with comprehensive proportional control for all uses, continuous drive with flow divider, electronic sensitivity adjustment, block valves on hydraulic jacks and floating functions on double-acting sections, PTO with electro-hydraulic control, 2300 kg lift, 50 + 31 l/min hydraulics, and front axle with 4REV engagement and electro-hydraulic differentials that can be locked separately.
