App for smarter decisions
A new app designed to simplify forage planning and boost farm productivity has been launched.
Canadian manufacturer Can-Am claims to be pushing boundaries with the all-new, medium engine displacement, Can-Am Outlander ATV utility models, offering more performance, comfort, storage and reliability for the category, while remaining competitively priced.
For the New Zealand farmer, the new Can-Am Outlander PRO comes with a range of updates and improvements that began on our shores over 5 years ago when the Can-Am Global ATV product team visited New Zealand to gather insights and local input from farmers, service centres and dealerships – focusing on high quality, reliability, and durability to get the job done day in, day out on farm
A new tubular steel chassis design derived from the Can-Am Maverick X3 platform is said to be 35% or 18kg lighter, while a front and rear arched A-Arm suspension configuration has given the new Outlander PRO and Outlander PRO XU class-leading suspension travel and ground clearance. Both models are equipped with 9.75” of front suspension travel with twin tube shocks and 10.25” also featuring twin tube shocks at the rear. PRO models feature stiffer suspension tuning to allow for working conditions and heavier payloads, with chassis and suspension combining to offer up to 13” of ground clearance.
Other detail changes within the chassis geometry help deliver increased knee room and wider, more spacious floorboards that improve handling and increase stability and combine with a thicker, more durable seat for increased rider comfort.
An all-new rear facing 650cc single cylinder, liquid cooled, fuel injected Rotax engine delivers 40 and 50hp respectively from the PRO HD5 and Pro HD 7 models. The Outlander PRO HD5 and HD7 machines are equipped with a new pDrive primary CVT transmission that also features work calibration along with Extra L/H/N/ R/P gearing, with selectable 2WD/4WD with Visco-Lok†, Visco-Lok† QE or Visco-4Lok with auto-locking front differential drivetrain offered according to the packages.
Controlled descents are taken care of by the Intelligent Engine Braking function, while the PRO XU versions get an engine management key offering Work, Standard and Sport modes. Things are safely brought to a stop via twin discs up front and a single disc brake assembly at the rear. Both PRO and PRO XU versions feature 26-inch wheel equipment, the former in steel and the latter utilising cast aluminium construction.
