Antonio Carraro, all the news from Fieragricola

Antonio Carraro brings all the bestsellers in its range to Fieragricola. The spotlight is first and foremost on the 102-horsepower SRX Hybrid concept which, previewed at EIMA International 2021 (see Mondo Macchina 11/2021), marks the Veneto-based manufacturer's debut in the hybrid power segment. The Antonio Carraro concept is not the only model highlighted in Verona.

Also in the spotlight, the tractors from the TORA Series, equipped with four-cylinder Yanmar Stage V engines with 52 and 66 hp outputs. The line consists of five multifunctional models, super compact, isodiametric or with oversized rear wheels, available in versions with ACTIO articulated swinging frame or with steering wheels, one-way or equipped with reversible guide on RGS turret (a new patent of the Veneto company), with roll-bar or cab. These tractors - as the Padua-based company explains - can be combined with complex equipment such as inter-row machines, topping machines and hydraulic equipment for vineyards. At Fieragricola, the Tora will be presented with a hydraulic upgrade, thanks to an increase in flow rates with adjustable continuous flows, and with a new gearbox (16+16) and a new power take-off; the same as those included in Antonio Carraro's flagships. The platform of the driver's seat has also been renewed: now the operator has even more space but the overall dimensions have remained unchanged compared to previous models.

SR 7600 INFINITY. It is an isodiametric articulated tractor with a narrow track, compact, hydrostatic transmission and reversible steering which, together with the other two models of the Infinity Series (TR with a steering frame and TTR with a "wide" steering frame and a low centre of gravity), represents the answer of the Campodarsego stable to the demand for increasingly digital, high-performance and "precision" agricultural equipment. Powered by a Kohler Stage V 4-cylinder, 16-valve direct-injection turbo intercooler capable of delivering 75 horsepower, the SR 7600 Infinity has a wide range of applications with hydraulic or PTO-driven equipment. It can be used for specialized cultivation (terraced vineyards, greenhouses, narrow rows) or for the maintenance of urban spaces and sports facilities. The engine - reads a technical note of the manufacturer - works in synergy with the Infinity mechanical-hydrostatic hybrid transmission that allows to work in the two travel fronts with the same speed from 0-15 and from 0-40 kilometres per hour while the forward pedal assists braking even on slopes, stopping the vehicle as soon as released. Another strong point of the SR 7600 INFINITY is the driving comfort. Indeed, the operator does not have to use the clutch - explains the note of the Venetian company - and this solution proves to be very advantageous for processes that require manoeuvres and comings and goings in rapid succession, for slow and precise movements or in case of sudden accelerations.

TONY Series. It was created to optimize performance and fule consumption in typical precision farming applications. The range consists of 5 models with mechanical-hydrostatic hybrid transmission, including the latest models, Tony 8900 TTR (wide-track isodiametric tractor) and Tony 8700 V (first AC tractor with oscillating front axle chassis). The transmission features automatic functions managed by the Intelligent Tractor AC (ITAC) operating system, such as Cruise Control (or Tempomat) and Tractor Management Control (TMC), designed to make operations easier. The speed is independent of the motor speed.  The speed range goes from just 100 m/h up to 40 km/h with parameters that, thanks to the Cruise Control, can be stored and recalled according to the type of work to be carried out, while the Tractor Management Control (TMC) manages engine and transmission so that the tractor always works in optimal conditions.
