Forest Rebuilding

Always, when it comes to self-propelled sprayer, we're thinking of moving large equipment difficult road due to the large size and low visibility, and that is why many farmers and agricultural service providers were reluctant to purchase.

Challenger wanted to come to market with a car that would contradict all these disadvantages, but without compromising their specific productivity. Thus, considering first the views of farmers and legislation, we can say that we are at the stage where we can offer a practical solution farms - propelled sprayer RoGator Challenger 600B!


With a transport width of only 2.55 m, you can forget costly transport permits, moving from one field to another is no longer an obstacle for your business. Moreover, thanks to the cab, visibility is quite good regardless of how we're working in the field or road transport position.


Cabin has received attention both in the choice of materials and ergonomics. It was intended primarily driver comfort as well as simple to implement orders, despite the complexity of the machine. It can be seen that most orders are armrest control, including primary monitor, greatly easing the driver's job. Benefits from air suspension seat and armrest is part of the seat, facilitating its use.

GPS guidance - when working with speeds up to 30 km / h and the length of 36 m, surely we need an efficient system for automatic tracking satellite. The system has a separate monitor, so you can take advantage of guidance, while the armrest machine monitor provides vital information about how the machine works.

The chassis is made of one piece and the distribution of weight during operation is 50% -50% front and back, thus ensuring the most efficient movement of the machine.


AGCO Power engine with power to 242 hp, provides an extremely low which may decrease in most cases less than 1 liter / ha. Its location is optimal, in the right mid chassis is accessible from ground level for any intervention.


Basin starts from 4000 liters and up to 6000 liters depending on the model. On his casting was used latest technology, providing a highly fine without corners, which facilitates run-fully.


Steering is easy to use, the being on all four wheels, making it headland turns to be perfect, just trampling footsteps rear wheels on the front wheel, thereby reducing the impact on crops.


Track mechanically or hydraulically adjustable and can be set between 1.8 m and 2.25 m, which allow you to herbicides in different sole without too much effort.

Suspension;? Move smoothly on uneven ground at high speeds could say that for agricultural equipment can not be taken into account. However, this type of machine is equipped with independent suspension on each wheel hydro-pneumatic, making it speeds forward to a superior trailed sprayers or worn.

Sprayer ramps, cars Challenger RG600B range, are among the few on the market that offers standard working arms made entirely of aluminum. They are linked via a central framework machine equipped with shock absorbers that provide stability class for precise spraying. The suspension arms is innovative in that it is both symmetric and asymmetric, eliminating vertical and horizontal movements for a more uniform and efficient as spraying. In addition, the ramps are equipped with sensors for copying land, which facilitates maintenance throughout a range of herbicides work best, although differences found are quite high level.

Comprising all the best



With four new 500 series Vario, Fendt create a new class of vehicles in the segment represented by compact tractors. These tractors are equipped with many features that until now only found in top tractors. Innovations and amenities a 500 series Vario tractor gives its unbeatable competitive advantage in power class from 125 to 165 hp.

British weekly Farmers Weekly has to work seven tractors of 100 hp to find strengths and weaknesses of each.

Thus, Case-IH CS 105 Pro: 101 HP (Make: St. Valentin, Austria), Deutz-Fahr Agrofarm 430: 109 hp (Treviglio, Italy), Fendt 310 Vario: 100 hp (Marktoberdorf, Germany), John Deere 5100R : 101 hp (Mannheim, Germany), Massey Ferguson 5445: 95 hp (Beauvais, France), New Holland: 106 hp (Jesi, Italy) and Valtra N92: 101 hp (Suolahti, Finland) were tested to work - plowing, harrowing, towing and loading, with the most famous European Institute of tractors DLG test, which measured engine power, torque, fuel consumption and noise power lifting.

At the request of the organizers, builders have sent all tractors equipped with one charger choice but to evaluate performance while operating tractors, not the charger. She missed the competition Claas, the manufacturer failed to send Axos model with Perkins engine tests and the new Arion 400 was not yet available.

To assess the real capabilities of the seven tractors were tested also cabins, seeking spaciousness, visibility and use of storage space inside the cabin were compared gearboxes on ease of handling, smoothness and responsiveness and number of steps and were checked thoroughly all orders. Finally, tested the brakes and ease of maintenance.

Results

Net winner was Fendt 310 Vario, which came first performance tests, functionality, comfort and consumption, but also ... price (the difference between the cheapest and the most expensive of the tractors tested was 27,000 euros) 4-cylinder Deutz engine which drives the moving average deployed over the other, while transmission was designated "could not be better for class. "

Case-IH CS 105 Pro received the highest score for ergonomics, quality construction and overall performance and good scores on all tests were obtained and JD 5100R and MF 5445.

So if you want a powerful tractor with good performance and are willing to spend a little more fuel, MF 5445 is a very attractive choice. If the main criterion is value for money, Deutz-Fahr and New Holland are undisputed competitors, and if you're looking for a good strong tractor at all, it is worth to consider the Valtra N92 model.

Claas Axos is a medium tractor with a power range between 74 and 100 hp, which replaces the previous model of tractor Claas Celtis.

Axos appeared for the whole range of Claas tractors produced to the highest German standards. Comparing them with the previous range of tractors Celtis, Ares, Atles, wide Axos, Arion, Axion is one hundred to one hundred German technology, without any of the previous elements of Renault.

Axos is produced in four models: Axos 310, 320, 330 and 340, with three equipment versions for each model, or version C-inverting synchronous CL-revershift version, version CX-revershift and twinshift.

 Claas Tractor receive a Perkins engine of 4,400 cc origin, falling within Tier III emission standards. Of course, no comfort Mecanizatorul was not neglected. Thus, the cabin is large, spacious, good visibility in the field.

The tractor can be ordered in three ways: without cabin to cabin and cabin comfort range.

Agricultural tractor is a heavy equipment used in agriculture but also in forestry and rural areas. Form of four-wheel tractors is the same but what makes them different from each other are depending on usage, their shape and capacity.

The beginnings of agricultural tractors

History of agricultural tractors starting with the industrial revolution in 1882. Then came the first agricultural tractor steam. In 1892, he appeared first model gasoline (Froelich, USA). With the evolution of technology developed and heavy machinery such crawler tractor appeared in 1904 designed by Benjamin Holt.

Tractors in the world

In 2002 this industry is very developed reaching a total of 26.7 million tractors operating in the world. The first being the United States with 4.8 million tractors, France Locle sintuandu on the 7 th.
Today, agricultural tractors are making so as to ensure driver safety, if the tractor swings. Their use is diverse in places like gardens, highways, land ...

Major manufacturers of agricultural tractors

Leading manufacturers of agricultural tractors today are: JCB, New Holland, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Case IH, Caterpillar and many others.
John Deere was the first manufacturer of agricultural machinery offers a wide range of garden equipment as well as construction and forestry equipment.
Case IH tractors benefit from the latest technologies that enable customers to maintain productivity and efficiency while reducing fuel consumption.

JCB is a tractor manufacturer who just finds a response in the Romanian market. At a closer look, however, their logo is easily recognizable one. There are almost no road rehabilitation work in the country, which is not involved some lifting and excavating equipment manufactured by JCB. Successful British company in the construction machinery managed to move into agriculture with tractors between 130 and 270 hp. Their power segment, are considered some of the very best. True, the price is as reputation.

Recently, compressed JCB Fastrac 3000 Series, Standard and Plus ranges, in one unique number, called Xtra. The two models of the new series, 3200 (190CP) and 3230 (220CP) received all top features of previous models, and even something extra.

A tractor sports a British sobriety
In Romania, the importer is VA Intertrading Austria JCB Ltd, a group to which it belongs and NHR Agropartners Ltd New Holland dealers and Steyer, but a grain trading company.
Valentin Kiraly, JCB sales charge, admits frankly: "It's an expensive tractor market. But it is very reliable. In fact, English is a tractor built in a factory where quality counts workers. "
Fastrac 3000 is a 4-wheel tractor equal, driving, directional, making it easy to handle in all kinds of tight places. 's History starts in 1991 when it was painted red. Then, in later years, switched to yellow and gained a contemporary design. The advantage of the 4 wheels is equal, in explanation manufacturer, excellent speed that can tackle road: up to 85 km / hour, which makes him look like a sports car along with any other tractor.
Fastrac models have disc brakes and ABS system. At higher speeds, it makes it noticeably more stable as a conventional tractor with wheels of different sizes on drums and brake system.

And traction is evenly distributed, 50% front and 50% rear. "Unlike a conventional tractor with a distribution of 30% front and 70% rear tread Fastrac perfectly equal to all wheels. Equal footprint helps machine stability, and it does not skid. "
Suspension system is fully electronically controlled and automatically adjusts the balance to be perfect.
"If we put behind a 3000 Fastrac tractor plug, he will leave behind. But suspension system will recalibrate and will return to its normal position tractor, "says Valentin Kiraly. This special suspension is standard on the top series such as JCB Fastrac 7000. This year has become a standard for 3000.


Some technical details that will captivate your attention
All models of tractors built by JCB are powered by Cummins engines. 3000 series has a "heart" model QSB6.7, Tier 3, common-rail, 6 cylinder, 6.7 liter.
For Fastrac 3200, the engine is calibrated to develop 195 hp and 220 hp for 3230 reached at a rated speed of 2,200 rpm. The fuel tank has a capacity of 350 liters and 120 liter hydraulic tank.
"Cummins engines are among the best engines in the world, consider Kiraly. Engines are simple and do not require an engineer so you can fix it. There are many simple operations that can be performed directly on the farm if they are to urge all necessary tools. "Engine needs an oil change every 500 hours, and an overhaul at 5,000 hours.
Named P-Tronic, Powershift transmission type is specially developed for these tractors and motor mounted on them. There are 3 modes of transmission, to squeeze the optimal performance: Drive road-going, Autoshift, to change automatic and powershift steps, allowing tractor driver full manual control. The clutch is guaranteed for 6,000 hours of operation.

"I consider him a Rolls Royce of tractors," says Kiraly. "The JCB factory in Staffordshire, UK, put more emphasis on quality and less on developing people through building robots.
To check the accuracy of execution, a tractor 10 is disassembled and analyzed using high-precision scanners. Any assembly error is then checked the entire production line. It is something that I think only the largest car manufacturers can afford to do it.
JCB wants to make a tractor built with soul, with attention to every element, from design to spectacular engine, transmission, suspension, hydraulic or comfort in the cabin. "

It can be a good deal for contracts with the municipality
Fastrac 3000 Xtra is positioned as a tractor farms 700 to 800 acres high culture. It also is a great tractor for medium and large livestock farms that need a versatile model. "The livestock sell better. JCB is a well known name because of wheel loader, "Kiraly says proudly. "I would say as a loader in livestock sells itself."

But design Fastrac 3000 is a special thought to be multifunctional. It can be used all year, from plowing, harvesting and transport to winter works for the municipality. "It's a small tractor selling western airports. Can deszapezi, can tow a plane on the runway, where things need a high speed tractor, "said Representative VA Intertrading Austria. "It's a versatile tractor. Central Cab allows easily become a head-tractor and a truck carrying a trailer. As well can be equipped with a snow blade and salt spreaders. On public roads, the speed and stability of large wheels on equal distances allow to travel twice as fast as conventional tractors. In Europe, many farmers choose JCB municipality to provide services during the winter. Even his color, yellow to orange was chosen to be eligible for government contracts. In Romania, contracts between farmers and mayors go harder, admits Karoly. So far, we know only three farmers who were able to conclude JCB service contracts, Arad, Botosani and Giurgiu. "

JCB dealers, a small team but with strong support
In Romania, JCB machines dedicated team of vendors has only 4 people. Seem few, but they are well supported by logistics and service Agropartners NHR.
"We have a small but well planned. Our people go to England every time something new, to specialize. And so far, the service, we had only minor problems such as a faulty sensor. "
Understanding of the advantages of a partner, Kiraly remembers "show-room use NHR sites to expose JCB tractors, their use and storage of spare parts but mostly we guarantee their service team extremely large across the country. This can be a guarantee of seriousness for any farmer. "

(Not Fastrac 3000 Xtra was launched late last year in the presence of a group of journalists from all over Europe agrarians. Producer asked each one representative from each country. Choosing our publication as to attend the event, honors us. )

The hydraulic system is improved, so that you can attach a pump 227 l / min, if they are large and heavy towed equipment that require high flow of oil. Has optional front hook lifting force of up to 5,200 kg and lift big race.
"The tractor comes with satellite guidance system and SF1 differential correction signal based. Also enjoy JK Link telemetry system that allows the farmer to follow at home, on your computer, where the cars, but also data about the performance, fuel economy, efficiency or productivity charts. The system can remote technical diagnosis in order to repair. Thus, intervention service is done in a much shorter time "- said the expert from IPSO.
Other items
George told us the quality that I SKB fuel tank has more capacity than previous models. The clutch is provided with cooling oil. The main chassis was designed for high power. New oil sump part of the tractor structure is particularly advantageous because it allows integration to support TLS + charger front support and a push bar support to front upper link.
ActiveCommand direction type, optional. Exterior lighting, at night, covering 360 °.
New radiator cooling system increases operating efficiency. It automatically adjusts speed to maintain a radiator for optimum operating temperature and helps the engine to respond quickly to changes in load. The new push fan (Push Fan System) is part of the newly designed bonnet. The air is forced under pressure into the engine compartment instead of being pulled. In fact, it minimizes dirt and debris can enter the engine compartment and keeps the radiator clean, even in difficult conditions.

It is estimated that by 2014, the global market for agricultural equipment will grow by 4.5% per year, reaching 123 billion dollars, according to a new report released in early august of Freedonia



Market development is accelerating due to mechanization of the agricultural sector in developing countries, especially in densely populated regions such as China and India. Agriculture in these countries is still inefficient mechanical, compared with developed countries.

Moreover, robust economic growth in both countries can sustain such growth, especially that the consumption of agricultural products per capita is growing.

Apart from China and India and other developing nations with huge agricultural potential, such as Brazil, Indonesia, Russia and Thailand recorded the highest growth of the agricultural sector, following the mechanization of agriculture and increase farmers' incomes.

Agricultural machinery market in Western Europe will grow easier, due to the expected reduction in EU budget post-2013 CAP change perspective, but also due to its number of inhabitants.

Both the United States and Western Europe will be negatively affected by the ongoing trend of trade liberalization and reducing protectionist measures such as national subsidies for farmers and tariffs on agricultural imports. Brazil and Russia are the main countries that will benefit from increased opportunities to export agricultural products.

More than a third of the total costs of agricultural machinery and equipment within a firm are allocated for soil and cultivation. The need to reduce costs is clearer than ever and efficient methods of tillage are increasingly sought by farmers



Amazon has expanded its range of equipment Cenius mulch. Now available versions of the series and new equipment fasteners Cenius three points, trailed Cenius-T option. The most important advantage is that the new models are now available in working widths of 3 m, 3.5 m and 4 m, and tractors are less required to lift, making it easy to carry.

Catching the tractor is via a cross is caught in the lower links of the tractor (Cat. III). The roller is rubber ring, which also uses the soil reinforcement. Lifting and lowering equipment for working depth control is done by hydraulic adjustment.

Also, the German manufacturer provides an additional option for those who want scalloped discs or discs for smooth leveling. Notched discs have a diameter of 460 mm, provide safe driving in all conditions and has the advantage of providing a more intense mixing, especially if a larger volume accumulation of organic compounds. Notched discs feature a special bearing maintenance.

3D knives feature flexible safety overload to 500 kg and dimensional deviation properties - ideal for extreme operating conditions.

Farmers, especially those with small and medium-sized farms are constantly in search of a universal tool with the widest range possible implementation. The solution can be found in the new Cenius cultivator from Amazone, which can be used for various purposes. Thanks versions with different specifications, Cenius can be used in almost any local conditions, from soil preparation to planting, to superficial processing to reduce water loss from the soil.

In mid-June in the Ehra-Lessinen military had launched the new generation of tractors ARION 500/600 from CLAAS. Arion Series 600 is the most successful range of Claas tractors firm, with more than 10,000 units sold



Starting this summer, Arion tractors series 500/600 is a new generation, with seven new models. This new generation, thanks to a diesel particulate filter (DPF) satisfies IIIB emission standards (Tier 4i) and brings many new technological îmbuntăţiri constructive and some like the big brother, AXION 900.

On special demonstration of the qualities of the new series of tractors ARION, I had a unique experience. It was an unusual start in several ways, but mostly because of how unconventional, different from the traditional press conference.

For nearly two weeks, were present on the site daily military base by a group of 25-30 journalists, divided into groups of four or five, have been rotating four workstations. Of these, only one of them I saw a theoretical overview of the differences between the old and new series of tractors Arion with two types of tractors in front.

In another workstation I was able to drive new ARION tractors with trailers loaded on a paved road and dirt road and the tractor alone, polygon to test drive shifting back and forth.

The most demanding workstation was that when I had the opportunity to drive the new ARION with machinery, land and loader. There I had the opportunity to test two types of terminal equipment cabin and CEBIS CIS and GPS systems and TELEMATICS PILOT.

Last post surprise prepared by the organizers, was driving an off-road route, inside the military base special trucks Mercedes-Benz Zetros 1833 and Unimog U5000 models, along with a tractor Arion 530.

I had the opportunity, during the day, effectively ARION series for several hours and in different conditions.



Engine and transmission efficiency

New series ARION 500/600, with seven models include power range between 140 and 184 hp (ECE R 120). New DPS engines used to improve fuel consumption and exhaust emissions with CLAAS POWER SYSTEMS (CPS) provides an optimal combination of components, developed in parallel with the transmission components.

Thus, improved engine performance and emissions, but developed a tractor as a whole, effective in daily activities and the intelligent use of power.

The engine is 4.5 liters per 500 series four-cylinder and 6.8-liter, six-cylinder, the 600 series technology with four valves per cylinder, common rail injection system, variable geometry turbo, TGV and intercooler. System "treatment" exhaust DPF is fully integrated and positioned under the hood, so that the driver's vision is not limited.

Due to low weight and extraordinary agility in operation, four-cylinder tractors 540-510 ARION series are particularly effective when used in low load operation, eg working with loader. Due to the new generation of engines, the new ARION 550, with a maximum power of 163 PS (ECE R 120) is ideal for working with tractor PTO or transport.

The new six-cylinder engine tractors stand out due to a high tensile strength, both in the field and in transport. The new top model, ARION 650, has a maximum power of 184 hp (ECE R 120).
HEXASHIFT transmission of the new ARION is distinguished by high levels of efficiency and many smart features that make this automatic transmission a leader in automatic gear changing comfort.

Transport, ARION four-speed and six-speed mechanical automatic change depending on load, which can be used without the clutch. Stages of change adapts to the load through changing system automatically Hexactiv.

Tractors fitted with systems: Revershift (slight shift electrohydraulic reverse the direction of travel), Speedshift (rapidly changing ranges depending on the load) and Speedmatching (automatic gear shift of stages depending on the load during change of C4 D2).

The high transmission efficiency was confirmed in tests HexaShift DLG (in 2009), where Arion 640 CEBIS had, in terms of fuel consumption and total value, added 3.6% to the average competitor . In the new series, broadcast HexaShift is available in three different versions, including the latest version of Transmission Super ECO 40 kmh at 1650 rpm, interesting mainly for transport. All models ARION 500/600 are equipped with a load sensing hydraulic system with an efficiency of 110 l / min.



Innovations borrowed from AXION 900

Some of the key innovations present in the ARION 500/600 come from the upper range of tractors AXION 900, launched at Agritechnica 2011 and elected "Car of 2012".

These innovations include electronic control VISTRONIC ventilation system, which allows precise adjustment of fan speed, so that the noise power requirements for cooling and, consequently, fuel consumption is greatly reduced. Because gas shock absorbers, radiators cooling unit can be opened quickly and easily for cleaning / changing. The air filter has been moved front, right in front of radiator package, making it very accessible.

The cabin offers generous space with excellent visibility all around, high efficiency, ergonomic, four-point suspension, adjustable steering column and CEBIS version (CEBIS - Electronic OnBoard CLAAS Information System) system multifunction armrest CEBIS terminal CMOTION and fully integrated.

As the above models, the cabin was located further forward and rear window was reconfigured to increase the driver's field of vision. In addition, specially equipped cabin was on the right side, with a door in one piece.

The trim CIS (CIS - CLAAS Information System), Arion is still available with mechanical control units. Function on / off power outlet has been added to CIS armrest and depth adjustment knob has been positioned further forward for easier operation.

Series tractors were prepared optionally Pilot GPS and CLAAS CLAAS TELEMATICS.
ARION has a new intuitive control panel lights and optimization (up to 14 working headlights and optional) that provides 360 ° visibility for the entire workday.

Accessories and equipment modes                                              

New models have CLAAS successful design with a long wheelbase, equal weight distribution on the front and back and a compact overall design. Weight of empty tractor is between 5.8 and 7.8 tonnes.

Thanks to the new design, the maximum allowable total weight up to 12 tons, both versions 40 km / h as well as versions with 50 km / h. For this reason, the new generation ARION - including the smallest model, ARION 530 - was equipped with a stronger rear axle as standard, which allows a higher maximum envelope (eg 710/60 R38).

The frame of the ARION is prefabricated semi-frame, in case you want to equip with hoisting system or loader. Semi-frame is mounted along the engine between the front axle and gearbox and absorbs the forces, but can be used as a coupling system.

Front suspension features that can be completely blocked for greater stability, for example when working with front loader. Optionally can be equipped with a new braking system active. This system come as standard on both models top (ARION 650 and 640).
