The Landini Rex 4 Series, recently released in New Zealand, is designed with vineyards in mind.
The cabin-only machine is equipped with a four-cylinder, 2900cc engine, manufactured to a Tier 4 Final emission rating, by German specialist engine builders Deutz AG. Power outputs range from 75 to 112hp, via five steps.
Starting with the Speed Four configuration, with four speeds and three ranges offering 12 forward and 12 reverse speeds, the addition of an optional creep-set pushes this out to 16F/16R, with a minimum speed of 280 metres/hour. Moving up the options, the Power 4 version, adds Hi/Lo to offer 36F/12R, while the T-Tronic version adds robotised shifting under load, that when fitted with Creep pushes the speeds available out to 48 forward and 16 reverse.
The rear linkage offers a capacity of up to 2700kg, complemented by either a double hydraulic pump system that provides 58 +38 l/min, or a triple pump set up which increases this to 30+58+36 l/min, through four or six remote valves. For those looking for high flow rates, the system offers a very useable 54 l/min at only 1500 engine revs. At the business end of the tractor, 2 or 4 PTO speeds are available (540/1000 or 540/540E/1000/1000E) to cover all types of operations.
