<div>​The new STEYR Expert CVT has just revealed during an important Dealer meeting in Saalfelden near Salzburg. The impressive surrounding was chosen with its great view to high peaks to emphasize the new tractor range in the right environment for its first public presentation: With its STEYR familiar look, the Expert CVT targets customers who need a high performance tractor packed in compact size with superior comfort: S-ControlTM CVT transmission, Stage V engine with HI-eSCR2, a 110 l/min high performance CLSS hydraulic pump, front axle and cabin suspension as well as a spacious cab are some of the new tractor’s convincing features.</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<p>“This tractor is one of our responses to developing requirements of our customers, as the Expert CVT now makes CVT technology available in the 100hp segment. And as our dealers often represent our eyes and ears towards the customers, it was a pleasure for us to launch the STEYR Expert CVT at this important dealer meeting”, highlights Christian Huber, Vice President Global Tractor Product Management.</p>
</div>
<div><strong>Stage V compliant engines</strong></div>
<div>Four models of the STEYR Expert CVT will be available with 4.5 litre NEF engines from FPT Industrial.</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<p>The tractor will be available with a rated power of 100hp (4100 Expert CVT), 110hp (4110 Expert CVT), 120hp (4210 Expert CVT) and 130hp (4130 Expert CVT). Thanks to the proven and Stage V compliant 4 cylinder NEF 4.5 litre engine, all four models offer a max curve of +10hp. The dedicated after treatment system (ATS) was designed to conveniently fit under the engine bonnet, thus providing optimum visibility for the operator. All components of the ATS are contained in the compact all-in-one unit under the bonnet. This design allows for an improved forward down visibility.</p>
</div>
<div>“The name “Expert” for the new STEYR tractor range was deliberately chosen to highlight the perfect balance between compact design along with best in class comfort”, says David Schimpelsberger, Product Marketing Manager Europe. He adds: “This new tractor offers experts’ features for increased versatility in grassland operations, arable farming, transport and cultivation as well as all kinds of municipal work.”</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Compact size, S-Control CVT transmission comfort</strong></div>
<div>The two range CVT transmission, fully developed in-house, is at the core of the new Expert CVT range. This transmission offers seamless acceleration and travel from standstill to the maximum speed of 40 kph which can be achieved with an eco-function at a reduced engine speed, hence allowing for a remarkable fuel efficiency. Operating with Double Clutch Technology (DCT) for optimum performance, the CVT transmission also offers Active Hold Control as a standard feature for easy starting and stopping even on sloping roads and fields.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Also under heavy load, the S-ControlTM CVT transmission with S-TRONIC engine-transmission management quickly finds the optimum gear ratio for seamless power and maximum torque. A new electronic controller manages the entire CVT transmission, not only providing quicker speed changes but also ensuring higher engine efficiency at all speeds. This principle ensures that engine power is used to the maximum and most efficiently whilst reducing overall running cost.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Comfort, versatility and performance</strong></div>
<div>
<p>The large and spacious cabin comes with a four pillar design to offer the best operator environment in this class. Excellent visibility along with cab and front axle suspension are some of the pleasant features of this highly comfortable cab. The common control layout and user interface allows operators to quickly get accustomed to the Expert CVT and achieve a high working efficiency.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>As the STEYR Expert CVT was deliberately engineered towards frequent and effective PTO work, this tractor particularly delivers in operations such as mowing and baling, light tillage, ground preparation and transport. With the loader-ready option, the STEYR Expert CVT also convincingly performs in front loader operations. ​</p>
</div>
<div>As a standard, the new Expert CVT tractor range will be equipped with a high performance closed circuit and flow compensated hydraulic system which delivers an oil flow capacity of 110l/min. Along with the tractor’s Closed-Centre Load Sensing hydraulic system, operators will enjoy a quick and powerful response to any hydraulic demand, be it front hitch, rear hitch, or front loader. As oil is only circulating when requested by the operator’s control, this system is distinguished by remarkable efficiency and excellent performance.</div>
<div></div>
<div>With the Front Hitch Power Lift (FHPL) and Front PTO option, the versatility of the STEYR Expert is further enhanced. Thanks to the multifunctional front axle support frame, FHPL an FPTO options are fully integrated into the design of the tractor for a clean layout, easy operation, and optimum visibility for the operator. Both Front PTO and FHPL with electric control valves feature control switches which are conveniently located in the front of the tractor.</div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>The global rollout of Volvo ACTIVE CARE is another unique industry first by Volvo CE. It takes the number-crunching out of machine telematics – thanks to the combination of fleet monitoring and comprehensive, actionable machine reports.</h4>
<div>With the rise of onboard telematics and remote connectivity it’s easy for fleet managers to become overwhelmed by the mass of data being produced by modern construction machines. With Volvo Construction Equipment’s (Volvo CE) unique Volvo ACTIVE CARE now set to be offered globally, Volvo proactively takes on the burden of monitoring and reporting machine health, leaving customers more time to focus on their operations. Volvo ACTIVE CARE is an intelligent telematics service that bundles together the monitoring of machine health and the provision of weekly reports that together help reduce downtime.</div>
<div>Remote analysis delivers multiple benefits, including catching problems before they become failures and helping smooth service scheduling. By knowing what the problem is, dealer technicians need to make fewer trips to the customer site and arrive with the right tools, parts, and expertise to increase the opportunity for a first visit fix. This all amounts to increased uptime and reduced cost for the customer.</div>
<div>
<h2>HOW IT WORKS</h2>
<p>The process is simple: machine data points are captured via CareTrack – Volvo’s telematics system – and monitored remotely via machine-to-machine connectivity by Volvo Uptime Centers around the world. Here dedicated Volvo experts who really understand the machines use state-of-the-art diagnostic software to process the information. When a critical alarm or a fault on a machine is detected, the dealer is informed, along with diagnostics information on the fault. The dealer then notifies the customer about the issue and plans when the corrective action can be performed.</p>
<p>Fortunately critical issues are a rarity, but customers are regularly reassured that their machines are being constantly monitored via weekly Uptime reports. These reports highlight areas of opportunity to increase the availability of an individual machine – or fleet of machines.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://www.volvoce.com/-/media/volvoce/global/global-site/news-and-events/images/2019/volvobaumamunichactivecaregloballaunch02copy.png?mw=1920&amp;jq=75&amp;mh=1400&amp;v=H09FPw&amp;hash=2C1212831EC0974FE1722770090A7CEC3F2B3826" width="586" height="428" /></p>
<h2>WEEKLY INSIGHT, LONG-TERM IMPACT</h2>
<p>The greatest benefit of Volvo ACTIVE CARE and the dedicated Uptime Centers is that a customer no longer has to spend time digging for the insights among a mass of machine information — that’s being done on their behalf by Volvo and their Volvo dealer.<br />
This more regular interaction helps Volvo, the dealer, and customers work together to identify actions that can greatly impact one of the biggest drivers of profitability – uptime.<br />
“Through Volvo ACTIVE CARE, we are strongly committing to ever higher uptime,” says Koen Sips, Vice President Customer Solutions at Volvo CE.</p>

<p>The Model Year 2019 tractor from the <strong>REX 4 </strong>series sports a stylish paint job in a Metallic pale blue livery and mat black wheel rims &#8211; a finalist for the <strong>Tractor of the Year</strong> <strong>2019</strong> award in the “<strong>Best of Specialized</strong>” category &#8211; is the latest addition to the <strong>Landini</strong> range to be exhibited at Eima between 7-11 November in Bologna.</p>
<p>The Landini <strong>REX 4</strong> is available in the cabbed<strong> F</strong> versions (6 models), <strong>GT </strong>and <strong>V</strong> versions (5 models), with horsepower ranging from 70 to 112, power is delivered by the proven Deutz AG engines equipped with EGR &amp; DOC exhaust gas treatment system without DPF and no regeneration requirements. The <strong>Engine Memo Switch</strong> is standard equipment and adds convenience in operations requiring a repeatable engine rpm to be stored and recalled at the touch of a button.</p>
<p>Among the new features presented by <strong>Landini</strong> for the <strong>REX 4</strong> series, noteworthy is the new <strong>ADS (Advanced Driving System)</strong>, the innovative <strong>Hybrid Driver Assist System</strong> that uses cutting-edge mechatronic technologies to assist operator in manoeuvring both in field and road operation. This system also offers connection to satellite guidance, memorisation and control of wheel positions during slope and in-furrow operation, and offsets the effects of external stresses on steering accuracy.</p>
<p>Driving comfort is enhanced by the steering becoming stiffer while increasing speed – a technology used in cars – and by fast centred wheels return.</p>
<p>Optimal efficiency in field operation is ensured by a multi-function all-in-one joystick controlling hydraulic circuits (up to 7 electro-hydraulic spool valves), electronic management of daily hours of operation, field and service registers via <strong>Landini Fleet Management</strong> protocol, as well as by the availability of real-time remote diagnosis.</p>
<p>The cabins feature <strong>CAT 4 protection</strong> and a new pressurisation system that insulates the operator’s area and protects it from harmful substances during spraying application. The system operates on the inputs from an on-board control unit that monitors internal pressure and the efficiency of the charcoal filters.</p>
<p>The version with <strong>suspended front axle</strong> is equipped with wet disc brakes and the differential lock is electro-hydraulically controlled for guaranteed efficiency. The axle offers a 55° steering angle to facilitate manoeuvring in all terrain conditions.</p>
<p>Hydraulic power is provided by a dual pump with 28 l/min for the steering and a 50 l/min pump for 3pt hitch and spool valves. As an option, a <strong>triple pump</strong> is available to provide <strong>41</strong> l/min for rear equipment and hitch and <strong>41</strong> l/min for the midmount spool valves.</p>
<p>At EIMA, <strong>Landini</strong> will be unveiling the new <strong>REX 3 F Series</strong>, available in three models, with horsepower from 55 to 75 and Kohler 2.5-litre <strong>4-cylinder</strong> 16-valve engines equipped with DOC systems that require no regeneration.</p>
<p>At a wheelbase of <strong>1,950 millimetres</strong>, a weight of <strong>2,000 kg</strong> and a rear lifting capacity of <strong>2,300 kg</strong>, this tractor is ideal for vineyards, horticulture, greenhouses and for pruning. Its strengths are compact design with steering wheel height as low as <strong>1,280 mm</strong>.</p>
<p>The in house produced mechanical transmission offers <strong>16 + 16</strong> gears, <strong>creeper</strong> equipped as standard and easy to use shift levers make it comfortable to drive.</p>
<p>Excellent hydraulics provide <strong>28 l/min</strong> for steering and <strong>50 l/min</strong> for the hitch and up to three mechanical remote valves.</p>
<p>The platform version will be on exhibit at the trade show, a low-profile cab version will also be available.</p>
<p><strong>Landini</strong> will premier its crawlers of the <strong>Trekker 4</strong> <strong>Series</strong> in the standard, orchard and mountain versions at EIMA. <strong>Trekker 4 F </strong>and<strong> M</strong> models offer horsepower ranging from 76 to 102, while <strong>Trekker 4 C</strong> comes with 99 and 107 horsepower ratings. They are equipped with Deutz AG engines, namely a 2.9 litre 4-cylinder, 16-valve turbocharged aftercooled engine on the <strong>F</strong> and <strong>M</strong> models, and a TCD 3.6 turbocharged aftercooled engine on the <strong>C</strong> version. Both engines feature an exhaust gas treatment system with DOC that requires no regeneration, and provide emission levels compliant with Stage IIIB, Tier 4i.</p>
<p>The new hood design lends a more aggressive look to these models, which are equipped with the proven 16 + 8 mechanical transmission with overdrive and creeper, all of which are manufactured at Argo Tractors.</p>
<p>These crawler tractors are perfectly suited for extreme working conditions, meeting such requirements as high towing capacity and excellent grip on steep slopes. Rear hitch capacity is 2,650 kg and can be raised to <strong>3,400 kg</strong> with 2 additional cylinders.</p>
<p>The operator’s station has been redesigned by introducing a new dashboard, revised control ergonomics and a digital instruments panel. Driving comfort has been further improved thanks to the new air-suspended seat.</p>
<p>Fuel tank capacity has been increased up to 85 litres for orchard and mountain versions and to 95 litres in the standard C version.</p>
<p>Lubricated or semi-lubricated track chains are available in sizes ranging from 360mm to 450mm.</p>
