The optimization of MAN 9lt engine, is based on a low-regime concept (Fendt ID) that delivers a high power performance at a low rpm. In this way the engine smoothly works at a specific max torque level at a minimum consumption level. The innovative hydraulic system includes two separated high-flow circuits. The VarioDrive Transmission, splits and delivers the torque to the two axles optimizing traction on field and on road.

New Holland T4.110 N 

New Holland T4.110 N made the difference mainly thanks to the suspended axle “TerraGlide” available either with brakes or without. This system is a turning point in terms of comfort and agility. It allows you to drive at higher speed in full safety condition whether you are on field or on road. The operator can easily adjust height and rigidity of the suspension according to  the soil conditions. Anti-Dive function is standard, it reduces pitching effect while braking or accelerating with heavy implements. To emphasize the work of the suspended axle, this tractor can be equipped with PneuTrac tires produced by Trelleborg.
