The biggest ever display of Landini tractors presented at LAMMA will see the trio of 4 Series tractors launched in 2014 (85hp, 94hp and 101hp), joined by four smaller 61hp to 76hp versions. They are shorter (2100mm wheelbase versus 2230mm) and lower than the current models and come with a choice of 12×12 or 16×16 creep transmissions with either synchro shuttle or power shuttle, and two- or four-wheel drive. The new cab introduced with the 4 Series is the major part of an upgrade package for the larger 88hp to 113hp 5-H Series also coming to LAMMA. It has a flat floor, a large glass area for good all-round visibility, while the slim roof design comes from housing the air conditioning filters in the rear pillars. Engine performance and the wide choice of transmissions available with the 5-H tractors continue unchanged but hydraulic pump performance is increased from 52 to 63lit/min, with the steering pump element remaining at 30lit/min. Fuel tank capacity is increased by almost 18% to 120 litres. Distributor AgriArgo UK will have a stand twice as big as last year’s to do justice to the newcomers introduced in 2014 and those coming through in 2015. “The Landini range is being transformed by these new tractors, in terms of both performance and equipment levels,” says sales director and general manager Ray Spinks. “Landini has a keen following and justified reputation for reliability in the livestock sector, and these new, higher specification models are building on that.”
