XE Stage IIIB

The superlative efficiency which is typical of a mechanical transmission is available in two variants. The first, with a top speed of 30 Km/h, features a 4 speed gearbox and is available in configurations with 12+3 speeds or 8+8 ECO speeds. The second uses a five-speed transmission with three ranges (15+15 speeds or 15+15 ECO speeds) and achieves a top speed of 40 km/h, even in the engine's eco mode (1,800 rpm). In the lowest ratio available, the tractor moves at a ground speed of just 298 metres/hour at maximum engine speed. Both front wheel drive and the front and rear differential locks are operated electrohydraulically as standard on 40 Km/h versions. For safety and reliability even in the rice paddy, these tractors are equipped with special watertight seals.

The combination of a high-performance rear power lift (with a maximum lift capacity of 2,500 kg at the lower link end, which can optionally be increased to 3,500 kg), the PTO output shaft which can be supplied with up to three speeds (540/540 ECO/1000) and a hydraulic system with maximum flow rates of 42 or 50 l/min (up to six mechanical outlets) makes the new XEs versatile tractors that are capable of handing a wide variety of agricultural applications. A dedicated gear pump, fitted as standard, ensures impeccably smooth hydraulic steering action, even at minimum engine speed.

The new operator seat is now even more comfortable with a lower profile centre tunnel, while the controls, featuring the tried-and-tested Hürlimann colour scheme, are even more practical and simple to use. The new digital instrument cluster integrated in the dashboard provides the driver with complete, clear and immediately legible information relative to the state and functions of the tractor. A two-pillar rear roll-bar is available to protect the driver. This may also be fitted with a practical optional sun shade. The ring-shaped modular ballasts for the rear wheels (optional) can be used to add up to an additional 360 kg. They can be attached to the front wheels in a "suitcase shape" for a total of up to 240 kg (+ 20 kg for the ballast bracket).
