In addition, as for all the engines of the KDI family in Stage V version, the management of the exhaust gas after-treatment system is extremely effective and intelligent, as it is characterized by very long average regeneration intervals and by the ability to regenerate the DPF, mainly in passive mode and in any case without any impact on engine performance or the driveability of the machine.

The extreme effectiveness of the after-treatment systems of KDI engines is also due to the fundamental idea on which this platform was developed; i.e. engines designed to have high-performance features with extremely efficient combustion, which makes it possible to fully comply with the limits of the strictest emissions regulations. The exhaust gas after-treatment system of the EU-Stage V versions is housed in a single compact and easy to install the module, with flexibility guaranteed by the possibility to customize the layout according to the installation on the machine.

The performance in the EU-Stage V version is even higher, to the point that the KDI 3404TCR SCR engine can reach 112 kW already at 1800 rpm, thus allowing it to work at low rpm with significant advantages in terms of noise and consumption.

The KDI 3404TCR-SCR not only offers advantages in terms of performance, size, and emissions. It also stands out for its architecture, such as the side power take-offs that flank the main and secondary power take-offs and are designed to make the KDI 3404 the ideal solution for manufacturers who want the maximum installation flexibility. Another unique feature of the KDI 3404TCR SCR is the counter-rotating shafts contained in the bedplate architecture, which provide excellent reduction of vibrations, thus guaranteeing operator comfort and the silent operation of the engine. Thanks to its characteristics, the KDI 3404TCR SCR engine is suitable for any type of off-road application, offering the maximum flexibility of installation and superior performance.

The Rex3 F line up features three different powers for its 4-cylinder, 2.5-litre Kohler engine, namely 55, 68 and 75 hp, with torque reserves of 50%, 45% and 32% respectively.

Engine RPM management is provided by the Engine Memo Switch that allows you to store and quickly recall settings when passing from one activity to another. Its 50-litre diesel tank allows full operation over a working day.

The winning features of the new Rex3 F Series are undoubtedly its compact dimensions: wheelbase 1,950mm; minimum ground clearance 213mm; external width from 1,350mm to 1,617mm; minimum height of the steering wheel from the ground on the platform version 1,256mm; weight without ballast 2,200kg.

But the Rex3 F Series acquires its most obvious competitive advantage in versatility. This starts from the Low Profile cab option – Best in Class in the conventional category – which has a 1.16m wide single-shell structure at the base being reduced to 0.86m at roof level, for a minimum overall height from the ground of 1.87m, while ensuring respect for the foliage and comfort for the operator. This last factor becomes evident when looking at the wide door opening for easier accessibility, the tilting steering wheel, the multifunction dashboard, the absence of levers on the central tunnel, the air conditioning circuit and the optional rear camera. The cab offers maximum visibility in lateral operations, on sloping terrain and in greenhouse crops. Handling and ease of use are also found in the factory-fitted option of the front hitch, with a maximum capacity of 1,000kg, and in the under-cab chassis geometry specifically designed for the installation of various central equipment.

Designed for professionals working in vineyards and orchards, the hydraulic circuit delivers 30 litres/min for steering and 50 litres/min for control valves, up to 3 with the possibility to bring one outlet also at the front, in addition to supporting the rear hydraulic hitch featuring mechanical control and ELS (Ergonomic Lift System), with anti-dumping system and a capacity of an improved 2,700kg.

Versatility and comfort make it a tractor built around the operator’s needs: the driveline operates by mechanical reverse shuttle and offers, with creeper, 16 forward and 16 reverse gears in a speed range from 0.4 to 40km/h. The front axle with electro-hydraulic engagement is produced in Argo Tractors plants and offers a steering angle of 55°. The 20-inch rear wheels (for GE version) and 24-inch rear wheels (for F versions) are equipped with Waffle-type rims designed to minimise vibration, thus maximising comfort when travelling on the road with equipment in tow, also thanks to the maximum allowed weight of 4,000kg.

Such an overview is completed by its perfect compatibility with Landini’s fleet management protocol.

The Rex3 F Series can in fact be fitted with Landini Fleet Management system, which guarantees telemetry data, remote diagnostics, efficient integration with the after-sales system, a direct connection with the service department and a reduction in downtime for maintenance, as well as a preferential lane for the operator to maximise farm operativeness.
