Deutz Fahr 4080.4 E.
The new Deutz Fahr 4080.4 E recently launched by Power Farming Wholesale follows on from its introduction in Australia.
Powered by a 4-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled engine meeting Stage 3A emission standards, the tractors offer a combination of sturdy construction and simplicity, while an electronic engine governor reacts instantly to power demand and load and helps optimise fuel consumption.
The 30F+15R speed transmission consists of a five main speeds, with three work ranges and underdrive, selected by levers to the right of the seat and a dashboard mounted shuttle lever; maximum speed is 40km/h.
The hydraulic system comprises separate layouts for steering and rear hydraulics, with the former offering a hydrostatic system, combining with a 55-degree steering angle for tight turns. At the rear of the tractor, an open centre 42L/min pump configuration feeds three rear remotes and offers 3490kg lift capacity. The PTO has 540 or 540 ECO options.
Selectable four-wheel drive combines with 100% lockable front and rear differentials for traction in difficult conditions, and braking is by oil immersed wet discs on all corners.
The spacious and comfortable cab offers driver comfort, reduced vibration and noise; productivity can be further enhanced with the fitment of a German built factory loader that includes a third service and 1.5m bucket
