New Landini Powermondial 120 to launch at LAMMA 2011
Mon 13/12/2010
* Powermondial 120 with 112hp for draft work, 121hp for pto/transport* 40kph top speed at quieter, more economical engine revs
* Uprated transmission and hydraulics package, plus power brakes
A new more powerful addition to the Landini four-cylinder tractor line-up will make its UK debut on the AgriArgo UK stand at LAMMA 2011.
It is the first Landini tractor of this size to emulate the six-cylinder 7 Series models in providing two power ratings; and the ‘120’ comes with uprated hydraulics and brakes to match its more capable performance.
“The Powermondial has been a very successful addition to the range, providing farmers with a more spacious cabin and higher-spec hydraulics and transmission than we offered previously,” says Landini product specialist Eamon Howden. “The new ‘120’ takes the range a further step forward in terms of power, performance and features.”
The Perkins 1104D-E44TA four-cylinder diesel engine at the heart of the new Powermondial 120 has the same 4.4-litre capacity as the 102hp and 110hp models. But it uses a 16-valve cylinder head and high-pressure common rail fuel injection system, controlled electronically, to obtain new performance features.
“The Dual Power management system produces two distinct power curves,” explains Eamon Howden. “For draft work, such as ploughing and cultivating, the engine serves up to 112hp. But for operations that put less engine torque through the transmission, the fuelling system is remapped to generate up to 121hp.”
This 8% or 9hp increase in output, which gives the tractor performance equivalent to a more powerful and more expensive model, becomes available automatically whenever the tractor operates a pto-driven implement at 1000rpm or the driver engages the transmission’s top range for road travel.
“Another feature of the electronic management system for road travel is that the tractor can run at top speed with reduced engine revs,” adds Mr Howden. ”So, at 40kph the engine spins at just 1830rpm for a quieter, more economical drive.”
