A NEW model for its mid-sized tractor range will fit in at the top of the Landini 6C series, with 140hp on tap when power boost is included - that's a 10hp boost on the rated power.

This model range replaced the popular Powermondial during 2015 and now comprises three models, with the new Landini 6-140C the most recent addition.

Like the other two models in the range, the extra power comes in to play when travelling on the road or operating a pto-driven field implement, like a muck spreader or power cultivator.

This means the 6-120C's 111hp output goes to 121hp; the 6-130C's climbs from 121hp to 133hp; and the 6-140C is elevated from 130hp to 140hp.

All three models can have four-speed pto - with 'power' and 'economy' settings for both 540rpm and 1000rpm - and two levels of specification, which will suit a wide range of applications and buyers.

Base models have 66-litre/min open centre gear pump hydraulics with an extra 30-litres/min for the steering; 34-inch rear tyres; and a 40kph T-Tronic 36x12 transmission, with three-step powershift operated by a thumb switch on the gear lever.

A power shuttle with adjustable response is standard, giving fingertip control of forward and reverse selection.

Choosing the higher-spec' 'LS' version brings a more sophisticated 110-litre/min closed centre hydraulics system that pumps only on demand; taller 38-inch tyres for added grip and floatation; and a choice of 40kph Eco or 50kph transmissions.

For long-haul users, they can also be equipped with hydraulic independent wishbone front axle suspension, plus mechanical cab suspension - which is also an option on the base version.

The cab has a fresh interior design and controls layout, with a flat floor making it easy to get in and out. It also has an instrument panel that moves with the steering wheel when this is adjusted for angle and reach.
