Italian tractor manufacturer<br />
Antonio Carraro has<br />
brought three new<br />
compact tractors into<br />
the Australian market in<br />
a pitch to meet growing<br />
demand<br />

New in Australia, Antonio Carraro’s new supercompact TRX<br />
5800 tractor brings high-end options from orchards and<br />
vineyards to small farms across the country.<br />
Equipped with a 50 horsepower (37kW) engine and a<br />
mechanical transmission with 16 forward and 16 reverse<br />
gears, the tractor is agile in confined spaces thanks to a short<br />
wheelbase and a very tight turning radius.<br />
The TRX 5800 also features a reversible pneumatic driving seat<br />
to help the operator get around difficult spots a factor which<br />
company sales and marketing manager Marco Corra says fills a<br />
gap in the company’s product range.<br />
“We are expecting it to be our workhorse in terms of sales in<br />
the year ahead,” he says.<br />
The tractor has a 2,200kg lifting capacity, with more robust<br />
lifting bars available for heavier loads and more demanding<br />
processes – while an optional uprated oil pump offers flow ates<br />
of up to 43 litres per minute for use when ploughing or pulling/<br />
pushing a heavy load.<br />
The central articulated joint on the tractor’s trademarked Actio<br />
frame offers longitudinal oscillation of up to 15 degrees, while<br />
its 4 wheel drive gives it enough traction and grip to handle<br />
difficult slope .<br />
Equipped with a spacious driving platform that insulates the<br />
driver from the transmission both thermally and acoustically, the<br />
tractor also has a new generation dashboard showing the power<br />
take-off revolutions, the forward speed and the working hours,<br />
among other things.<br />
Joystick controls are available as an option as is an airconditioned<br />
closed cabin, while the operator is protected from<br />
dust ingress by a suspended pedalboard that does not have any<br />
gaps towards the ground.<br />
AWARD WINNER<br />
Also set to arrive this year is the 75hp (56kW) 7600 Infinity model<br />
tractor, which took out the Innovation Challenge Award at Italy’s<br />
Enovitis in Campo trade fair and the Technical News Competition<br />
at Agrilevante, also in Italy, in 2019.<br />
With a lift capacity of 2,400kg and available with either a rollbar,<br />
an open cab with windscreen or Antonio Carraro’s Starlight<br />
closed cab, the tractor also comes with Uniflex suspension<br />
allowing for part of the weight of any equipment to be<br />
transferred to the tractor’s wheels.<br />
The 7600 will be available in two models – the TR, equipped with<br />
reversible isodiametric steering for slopes and confined space<br />
such as vineyards; and the articulated SR, with a particularly<br />
narrow track useful for very tight spaces.<br />
Both models are equipped with the Infinity t ansmission<br />
system, with two mechanical speed ranges (0-15 and 0-40km/h),<br />
each offering three hydrostatic speeds, which can be engaged<br />
while travelling without loss or traction or power interruption.<br />
This transmission can eliminate the use of the clutch, greatly<br />
simplifying manoeuvres and comings and goings in rapid<br />
sequence – a trait that can be useful in the handling of materials<br />
(or fruit) between the rows.<br />
Further to this, all functions of the Infinity t ansmission are<br />
digitised, with the option to choose between four different<br />
modes of advancement of the tractor and engine revolutions<br />
as needed.<br />
