Two new additions to the Torro Combiline series of loader wagons – with the 7010 (pictured) and 8010 models.
Austrian manufacturer Pottinger has added two models to its Torro Combiline series of loader wagons – the 7010 and the 8010.
Proven in the existing product ‘family’, the Torro 7010 and 8010 units offer loading capacities of 40 and 43cu.m DIN respectively.
High-speed unloading is said to be made possible by a newly designed driveline that can deliver 1700Nm torque to meet peak loadings.
All models can now also be specified with a 4000kg capacity drawbar option claimed to aid weight transfer and improve traction in the paddock or over the clamp, and allowing increased loading and greater productivity.
Both wagons have a side-mounted control panel connecting key elements via a Can-Bus system. This offers an overview of functions such as the knife-bank, AutoCut, the scraper floor and a new system for easy hitching and unhitching system from the tractor.
Also, the Torro Combiline can be equipped with optional driver assist systems such as intelligent steered axles, integrated sensors for driving speed and direction, and a steering angle sensor.
An optional integral weighing system displays dynamic nett weights and can be programmed with a maximum load setting. This will give an audible and visual warning if the pre-set load is exceeded.
Also available are newly released DuraStar loader wagon blades that have a hardened, wear-resistant cutting edge for longer service life. The blades combine the characteristics of spring steel for wear resistance and Boron steel for durability, and have a self-sharpening effect that should lead to better chop quality, lower fuel consumption and a cost-effective life.l
