Agrishow marks the official launch of Momentum, Valtra's folding planter
Machine is AGCO's first global project 100% developed in Brazil
Case IH, a CNH Industrial brand, reinforces its high-productivity DNA by exhibiting its portfolio of machines that provide maximum performance, with agronomic efficiency, at Agrishow. The fair takes place from April 29th to May 3rd, in Ribeirão Preto (SP).
Among the brand's main highlights, which enable increased productivity and profitability for agribusiness entrepreneurs, are the Quadtrac tractors, the Trident 5550 fertilizer sprayer and distributor, the Axial-Flow Series 230 Extreme harvester model 9230 Rubber Track, with Drapper platform 45 feet, and the Easy Riser planter 36 rows.
The line of Quadtrac tracked articulated tractors arrived in Brazil as an option for producers looking to reduce soil compaction, without giving up the strength of the equipment. The Quadtrac is the tractor with the highest traction capacity, offering maximum power in different activities, smoothly and efficiently. The power of the tractors varies from 507 hp to 629 hp. The machine is equipped with a Cursor 13 engine, from FPT Industrial, which is also a CNH Industrial brand.
Designed to work with spraying liquids and distributing granulated solids, the equipment is suitable for use in large-scale agriculture. The quick exchange of liquid and solid tanks is one of the product's differentiators, facilitating the different uses of the equipment during cultural processing. The machine has an 8.7 engine, from FPT Industrial, with a power of 390 hp. The spray tank has a capacity of 5.300 liters. The tank for solids, known as Drybox, has a capacity of 9.4 m3, with an application range of 36 meters.
The machine, with 36'' rubber tracks and a 45-foot Drapper platform, is one of the brand's highlights. In addition to reducing soil degradation and compaction, making planting easier, the tracked harvester provides more traction capacity, with greater torque, which allows for less fuel consumption. Performance is also greater in wet soil conditions and on slopes. The machine has all the advantages of the 230 Series, which features technologies such as the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) system, which provides greater efficiency in energy transmission, greater machine robustness and reduced maintenance costs. The harvester design allows for smooth threshing, directly responsible for the high quality of the grain, and the Cross-Flow fan, which also results in cleaner grains in the grain tank.
To offer better productivity, combining high tank capacity and operational performance, the Easy Riser 3200 has an agronomic design for planting lines with the Precision Planting vSet doser. And to increase equipment availability, Case IH reduced the number of lubrication points (just six points on single chassis machines and 12 points on tandem coupled machines). They are available with 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19 45 cm lines on a single chassis and 22, 24, 26, 28, 32, 34 and 36 45 cm lines on tandem chassis. For spacings of 50 cm, they are available with 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 lines on single chassis and 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, and 32 lines on chassis coupled in tandem.
