LS highlights hortifrutitrator at Expodireto 2022

LS Tractor takes its tractors aimed at serving the vegetable and fruit sector to Expodireto Cotrijal 2022, in Não-Me-Toque, in Rio Grande do Sul. “LS Tractor’s DNA has its origins in horticulture. With a view on the size of this market in Brazil, LS Tractor produces models with different versions ranging from 40, 50, 65 and 80 horsepower and even models that reach 145 hp, which perfectly serve this segment, which is why they earned the name of HortifrutiTratores, and a marketing campaign aimed at these producers”, explains the marketing and sales manager at LS Tractor Brasil, Astor Kilpp.

The vast majority of this market is made up of family farmers, with small areas, but there are also medium and large producers. For Kilp, LS tractors completely meet all of their needs. "Different producers in various regions of the country have our products in these activities and show great satisfaction in their testimonials", he reports.

LS tractors have technological differentials such as 32 forward and 16 reverse speed transmission, reaching up to 40 forward and 40 reverse, with super reducer and Synchro Shuttle or Power Shuttle reversal system, which will offer the exact speed for execution of each task in the field. The reversal makes it easier to maneuver, especially in confined spaces and in activities where the tractor needs to make constant reversals of direction. The LS Tractor technological package provides reduced fuel consumption, as already tested and approved in the field by several customers.

The tractors also have a high clearance, which favors operation on construction sites, a smaller turning radius for greater agility in maneuvers and a creeper that provides versatility for the tractor to perform, more economically, the various operations required in HF production. Independent power take-off with three options, 540, 750 and 1.000 rpm, an ideal speed for each task with implements driven by TDP, four-cylinder diesel engine from the LS brand with Mar1/Tier3 technology, for models up to 65 horsepower. In 2019, Perkins engines were incorporated into models from 80 to 145 hp. All these sets of technologies are focused on offering excellent torque and low consumption.

 For Expodireto 2022, a fair that has strong significance for the company, as nine years ago it was its debut in Brazil, LS Tractor will also show the entire line of tractors ranging from 25 hp to 145 hp. “Tractors for the most diverse activities in the field”, says Kilpp. 

LS Tech

Controlling the various activities that are carried out simultaneously on the farm and evaluating in detail what needs to be improved, which the producer cannot do just by observing, is one of the advantages of having the Telemetry system installed on the tractor. This is because it is what will generate precious information about the machine's daily activities, such as fuel consumption, the speed at which it is being operated in its function, the condition of the engine, among others. “It’s a very valuable field machine management tool”, says Kilpp. He adds that the electronic engine protection system is also part of the technological package, which transmits to the producer or operator an alert against overheating and lack of lubricating oil, thus avoiding an unwanted problem in its operation that, at times, causes great damage. with maintenance when an event of this nature occurs.

Within this line of Tech products, LS also sells the automatic pilot, which ensures that operations are carried out more efficiently and thoroughly, such as better alignment of planting lines, more precise spraying, reduced crushing of plants and other processes that contribute to increased production. With the LS Tech portfolio these technologies are available for small and medium-sized tractors.
