All black warriors offers plenty
Deutz-Fahr importer, distributor and retailer Power Farming has recently released details of the new Warrior versions of the popular 6, 7, 8 and 9 series tractor models.
With ROPS tractors still being consistently popular in livestock operations, given their ease of use for hopping on and off to open gates or lower hot wires, the arrival of the new Deutz Fahr Agrotron 5105, is likely to extend that popularity.
Equipped with the frugal 4-cylinder SDF 1000.4 Series, electronically governed engine, the 5105 pushes out 102hp, rising to 106hp as it comes under load, complemented with a wet-clutch, powershuttle, Hi-Lo powershift transmission offering five speeds and four ranges to deliver 40F/40R speeds, with a maximum speed of 40kph.
The latest Agrotron also carries some wellknown features from the previous series, such as true fourwheel braking, 100% locking front and rear differentials, alongside the 5-stage Sense Clutch shuttle modulation, park brake and clutchless braking via the stop and go function that is particularly suited to loader operations.
Helping ease of operation, rated to Stage 3A emission regulations, the electronically governed engine allows a preset engine RPM to be saved and easily recalled, while at the same time delivering maximum torque of 397Nm, a near 20% increase over the previous series.
At the business end of the tractor, the hydraulic system retains separate pumps for the power steering and rear hydraulics, with the latter now offering an increase in output to 68l/minute, three rear remotes and a useful increase of 325kg in lift capacity to 4525kg at the rear linkage.
For ease of control, the new “Easy-Lift” system is a mechanical hitch control with an electronic function that allows the lift to be quickly raised from working to transport position. An electrohydraulic, oil immersed multi-disc PTO clutch allows independent 2-speed PTO engagement with 540/1000 speeds.
As part of Power Farming’s transition to Stoll loaders across the entire Deutz-Fahr range, the new Agrofarm 5105 can be combined with the heavy-duty Stoll FZ 39-27 front-end loader. Tractors will be manufactured ‘loader-ready’ at the factory, meaning hydraulics and subframes when the tractors are being built, with booms added as required on arrival in New Zealand.
The FZ boom features self-levelling, boom suspension, 3rd service and multi-coupler functions all standard. Standard equipment also includes 180kg of rear wheel weights for increased stability and safety.
An extensive package of standard features includes a folding 2-post safety frame with canopy and rear-view mirrors, radial tyres, front steering mudguards, rear mudguard extensions, telescopic steering column, mechanically suspended seating, digital display, halogen headlights, a work light package, front weight frame and toolbox.
