Argo Tractors, best sellers at Agrilevante

At Agrilevante, the Argo Tractors Group, owner of the Landini, McCormick and Valpadana brands, presents itself with all the fine items in its "collection".  At the Fiera del Levante, the Landini brand is represented by the REX 4-080 GB plat and the 5-100 ES Series. Designed for working between the rows, the REX4 series is offered both with a cab and in the "inplat" version, with a wide platform and Silent Blocks technology that dampens stress from the ground. The driver's seat is spacious, comfortable, safe and offers 360° visual control with minimal ground clearance. Within the range, the REX4 GB (Gran Basso) model represents, due to its wheelbase, height and track width, the ideal solution for cultivations with awning rows, in greenhouses or with low canopies (such as - for example - kiwi plantations). Other winning solutions of the REX4 GB model include the steering wheel and backrest positioned under the bonnet line, the reclining protection arch and number plate holder, and the lowered bonnet line. Comfort, versatility and performance are the strong points of the 5 Series, also designed by Landini. Designed for open field work (ploughing, tilling and harrowing) the 5 Series offers high yields in seeding and haymaking operations, but also in road transport. The Bari show marks the debut, on the 5 Series, of the ES - Essential - version of the 5-100 model with 16A+16R transmission (it is equipped with a creeper), hydraulic reverse shuttle, air conditioning, Landini Fleet Management readiness and 480/70R34 rear wheels.

McCormick is represented at Agrilevante by the X6.4 P6-DRIVE and X7.6 VT-DRIVE models. The former, already Tractor Of The Year in the Best Utility category and featuring a wheelbase of 2,560 mm, is powered by a Stage V, FPT NEF 45 4.5-litre, 16-valve, 4-cylinder engine, capable of unleashing a maximum power output of 155 Hp. This model - explains the manufacturer in a technical note - is suitable for those who require versatility, performance and comfort, and is suitable for both open field work, haymaking and loader work. The P6-Drive transmission with 6 PowerShift gears and 4 ranges offers 24+24 robotized ratios, which become 40+40 when the creeper is present. The X6.4 P6-DRIVE comes with a 4-speed PTO with the option of synchronised, a 2,500kg front linkage and an electronically controlled rear linkage, up to 7,200 kg. The closed-centre hydraulic system is equipped with a 114 l/min pump capable of feeding up to 7 spool valves. The spotlight at the Fiera del Levante will also be on the McCormick X7.6 VT-Drive range, powered by Beta Power Fuel Efficiency engines with turbocharged technology and Common Rail injection with 6 cylinders and 24 valves, delivering up to 240 Hp. Thanks to the innovative HI-eSCR2 system, the engines are Stage V compliant. The VT-Drive continuously variable transmission - reads the manufacturer's note - ensures optimal responsiveness and much smoother work, especially with the inclusion of the Smart Power Zero system, which provides, even with the shuttle engaged, an ideal stall in all conditions, as long as the operator does not intervene on the hand or foot accelerator. Also available on these models are the smart-brake parking brake, electronically controlled, and EazyGrip, the remote tyre inflation system that allows tyre pressures to be adjusted when moving from field work to road transport.
