The 160hp SKH 150 is the most powerful tractor so far from Swiss manufacturer Rigitrac. Succeeding the previous 120hp SKH 120 flagship, the 150 was seen by visitors to the company’s recently-held factory open day. Sharing its articulated chassis design with the smaller models in the SKH range, the 150 stands on four equal-sized wheels (standard tyres 540/65R30) and comes as standard with cab suspension (suspended front axle optional).
Power comes from a 4.5 litre FPT 4-pot Stage IV block, and the CVT transmission provides two drive ranges and a top speed of 40km/hr. Load sensing hydraulics (maximum output 110lit/min), three double-acting spools, LED lights, digital instruments in the cab and a 24v electric system are all standard. Lift capacities of the front and rear linkages are 3.5t and 5.5t respectively, and the 150 comes with two PTO speeds – 540 and 1000rpm.
