Sharing its styling cues with the 5S, 6S and 8S, the new four-model range comes with a choice of transmissions, cab comfort, automation and controls. Maximum powers are from 155hp to 190hp.

Bridging the gap between the new four-cylinder 135hp-180hp 6S range (to be discussed in a separate story) and the larger, 7.4-litre powered 8S models, the 7S Series comprises four models:

Cab updates include a new armrest, Multipad controller and the Datatronic 5 terminal has a new, brighter and clearer touch-screen to reduce glare. New shortcuts on the homepage are said to make it easy to use. There is a new air conditioning system and a new air-suspended seat (heated option) with automatic damping. The tractors are available with suspended cabs and front axles.

New for Exclusive and Efficient versions is an option that enables the radio and mobile phone and media to be operated through the Datatronic 5 screen, with inputs via Bluetooth, USB or Aux lead. Operators are alerted to incoming calls by a pop-up on the screen.

With ISObus connectivity and GPS signal, Datatronic 5 also runs precision farming solutions. Data gathered and recorded automatically on TaskDoc is transferred via USB memory card. Telemetry is standard on all 7S models.

Outside, it is possible to install up to 16 LED work lights. For loader operations there is also the option to fit the Visio Roof.

Helping to increase loading accuracy, productivity and safety, the new E-Loader option provides control and setting of the bucket shake facility (more details next week).

With a 2.88m wheelbase and a 4.93m turning radius, the 7S tractors are designed for heavy applications. Rear lift rear capacity is 9.6t (4.0t front). Rear boots of up to 42” diameter can be fitted.

If you are in the market for similar power, but a slightly more agile, compact and lighter tractor for field, yard and loader work, then the new four-pot 6S Series could be an interesting option. More on this in a separate story.
