Chance to see new version of Landini's 5-H series tractors
A new version of the Landini 5-H Series tractor has been launched with a more fuel-efficient engine, new power options and a refreshed cabin interior with additional information provided by the new instrument panel.
It is being introduced by Landini dealers Jim Price Machinery, Craven Arms; Hughes Brothers, Oswestry, Shropshire; and Beddoes Machinery Sales, Churchstoke, Montgomery.
The tractor also introduces a new "family face" for the Landini range, with a one-piece hood that not only incorporates driving and work lights but also provides plenty of airflow to help keep the engine working at the correct temperature.
"The new styling certainly gives the tractor a very modern appearance," says Richard Wareham, service manager at GB distributor AgriArgo UK.
"It also emphasises the advanced technology beneath the hood that gives the tractor increased performance and better fuel economy."
The current Landini 5-H line-up comprises five models from 74hp to 110hp; these are being replaced by four models with power outputs from 85hp to 113hp.
Buyers can have the Techno version, with a dry clutch 24x12 transmission and manual three-point linkage operation, or the TOP Dual Power version, which not only comes with the T-Tronic wet clutch power shuttle transmission and more equipment but also extra power for selected operations.
"For a tractor of this size and power, the new Landini 5-H TOP is very well equipped," says Richard. "And with Dual Power for the 5-090H, 5-100H and 5-110H, operators can tap into some extra muscle when working a pto-driven implement or when towing a trailer or spreader on the road.
"With the Landini 5-100H, for example, the output of 95hp for operating draft implements like a plough or cultivator automatically increases by seven per cent to 102hp for towing and pto work," he explains. "It's a real bonus for a tractor in this class.
"Peak torque of 450Nm from the 113hp version in the 5-115H is nine per cent more than from the previous engine and it's developed at lower revs, yet the engine will typically use eight per cent less fuel, which is a real bonus."
