Active and passive safety: A totally safe line

In the Tigrone Series models the Antonio Carraro research has looked to take care of all the details associated with guaranteeing maximum active and passive safety levels by surrounding the operator with careful attention and special solutions. The ACTIO™ chassis keeps the centre of gravity particularly low even in very difficult circumstances. In addition to this there is the electohydraulically controlled rear differential lock which along with the mechanically controlled front differential lock rules out the risk of dangerous sliding. The rear brakes have hydraulically controlled oil bath disks that do not suffer from wear and tear and do not need to be adjusted thus guaranteeing braking in confined spaces. The use of brakes on both the front and rear has granted it homologation for speeds up to 40 Km/h (SX 8400).

ADVANTAGES
• Low centre of gravity = maximum stability and ground grip
• Curved design and roll bar = protected drive position
• Powerful brakes with no need for maintenance = elevated factor in active safety
• Road homologation = maximum safety night and day

Synchronised gearbox and inverter: Many speeds with maximum versatility

All of the models from the Tigrone Series are fitted with new concept transmissions with a synchronised gearbox set with 12 forward and 12 reverse speeds. This allows for the most appropriate speed to be chosen in a logical sequence according to the task at hand, the situation and the ground with the greatest of ease and versatility.
Another fundamental characteristic is the inverter that permits the movement from forward to reverse gear and vice versa.
An excellent advantage especially during activities that require frequent and repetitive changes in direction such as when working between rowed crops or in particularly confined spaces saving time and effort.
The large clutch with gentle engagement further reduces operator stress. In addition there is no need for adjustment because the hydraulic control automatically recovers any wear due to prolonged use over time.

ADVANTAGES
• Synchronised gearbox with helical gears = longer life for the transmission, no locking during gear changes, less noise
• Many speeds available = power fully exploited, reduction in speed intervals between different gears, greater operative continuity, lower fuel consumption and running costs
• Hydraulically controlled clutch = no need for adjustment for the duration of its life

Tractor and equipment A perfect combination

The independent PTO with oil bath multidisk clutch allows speeds of 540 rpm (540E and 1000 rpm on request). Gradual engagement and optimal power yield make for accurate and comfortable work that is also highly productive. The synchronised PTO has the same forward speed as the tractor and is ideal for use with a trailer. The Tigrone Series is the only range of tractors on the market that offers two shafts for the PTOs thus guaranteeing the use of a vast range of equipment and reducing the wear and tear on the shafts themselves.
Three different devices are standard for equipment attachment (hydraulic lift with three point hitch, trailer hook and hydraulic outlets) and guarantee maximum versatility of use: from specialised agriculture to green area management, all with just one compact multifunctional tractor.

ADVANTAGES
• Less engine load effect during engagement
• Less stress to the PTO shaft
• No effort required by the operator
• Reduction in running costs

Engines: An efficient ecological choice

The models from the Tigrone Series have various engine capacities, each one has been designed to reach perfect harmony with the dimensions, mechanics and characteristics of each tractor, all with optimum performance in terms of power, reliability, noticeably lower noise levels and maximum respect for the environment.
Engine performance is further enhanced by the special design solutions of the bodywork. The shaped front grille and the side screens guarantee ideal thermal exchange even in extreme weather conditions. The complete vertical opening of the bonnet guarantees complete and easy access
to the engine compartment to allow general maintenance to be carried out.

ADVANTAGES
• Wide range of engine capacities = optimal power for each use
• Reduced fuel consumption = lower running costs and greater respect for the environment
• Maximum reliability = long intervals between general maintenance interventions and greater productivity
• SAT and Spare Parts Service = total assistance over time

ACTIO Full Chassis with Oscillation: A record for grip and manageability

The ACTIO™ system consists of a powerful, steel section which forms an integral part of the axle, which houses both a front and rear transmission and has an articulated joint which allows for longitudinal oscillation of a good 15 degrees. Thanks to the ACTIO ™ system, the tractor acts as a single unit, made up of two parts with the same mass and dimension which oscillate independently of each other following
the contours and different gradients of the terrain, thereby maintaining constant stability and perfect grip. Its overhanging engine is positioned on the forecarriage: this allows the total weight of the tractor to be redistributed - 60% of its weight on the front axle and 40% on the rear one. Ideal
balance that becomes almost perfect when rear equipment is fitted: 50% on the front and 50% on the rear. Furthermore, the ACTIO™ system provides for the use of four large equal wheel drive. In this way there is better grip and the engine is able to ground all of its power with consequent advantages in terms of productivity and safety. The wheels are available in a vast range of diameters and with different tyre profiles in order to satisfy all requirements and to create optimum configuration according to the type of ground and usage.

ADVANTAGES OF THE ACTIO SYSTEM™:
• Better distribution of weight = maximum grip, less wear and tear on tyres.
• Central, lower drive position = the prolonged use of the tractor is less stressful with respect to more traditional tractors; greater protection for the operator.
• Transmission inside the chassis = good ground clearance, lower centre of gravity; maximum stability even on steep slopes.
• Doubling of the total mass of the tractor and ample lateral oscillation = the two parts of the tractor counterbalance each other thereby maintaining maximum adherence of the tyres to the ground.
• Possibility of being fitted with 4 large equal wheels = greater traction, even more balanced weight distribution.

Reduced turning circle: Great operational advantages

Thanks to their exclusive chassis, integral traction and particularly compact dimensions, the articulated tractors from the Tigrone Series are able to steer in even narrower spaces compared with traditional models and to manoeuvre with exceptional speed on any type of ground even in difficult situations. A feature that is valued at all times and translates into a notable optimisation of operating times and a reduction in operator fatigue. The manageability and ease of drive are also guaranteed by the new hydraulic steering: sensitive and responsive in order to reduce fatigue, improve control and increase the vehicle’s active safety by ensuring rapid disengagement in the case of difficulty and unexpected problems.

ADVANTAGES
• Short wheelbase = manoeuvrability is further improved upon even in confined spaces
• Integral traction = maximum grip even during rapid manoeuvres
• Full chassis with oscillation = perfect grip on bends even on uneven ground

Ergonomics and comfort: Two highly productive concepts

The Tigrone Series reaches new heights in comfort and ergonomics allowing its driver to cope with hours of work every day without experiencing stress and still obtaining great results. Protective, comfortable and accessible, the drive position offers a perfectly comfortable space with all of its controls in a logical sequence, new concept pedals and levers as well as optimal visibility of the front of the tractor and its control board. The latter is fitted with a dashboard with “on-off” LED so as to keep the situation wellunder control whatever the light conditions. The platform is positioned directly above the rear axel, in the best position to obtain optimum stability even when coping with obstacles or difficult ground. Lastly, a convenient glove compartment is situated on the driver’s side: an extra touch to make sure that all is easily and quickly at hand.

ADVANTAGES
• Compact dimensions = easier operation and functionality
• Automobile style comfort = less fatigue even with long working hours
• Easy and accessible controls = greater drivability and total control
• Drive position on the rear axel = perfect visibility and protection
