Reduced weight combined with compactness on a large model
Limiting the weight and loads on the tractor components were key criteria when designing the machine. These goals were reached thanks to the new design of the frame and mowing-grouping unit holding arms which allowed reducing the weight, increasing the compactness with a centre of gravity set 15 cm forward with regards to conventional machines. A notable weight reduction also comes from the belt conveyor frames made of aluminium. The reasonable weight is also an advantage at work: lower power requirement and limited soil compaction. Furthermore, the action of the hydro-pneumatic suspension facilitates ground following.
