INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION of Model year 2012 The R3. range of tractors has acquired new engineering and design features. From June 2012, with the introduction of the Model Year 2012 package, the R3. range will be enhanced by improvements designed to increase its competitiveness within a key market sector. The new R3. family is made up of 2 models : R3. 90 and R3. 105. This bulletin previews the new features of MY 2012. ENGINE The new R3. MY 2012 models are equipped with a four-cylinder SDF 1000 series engine responding to Euro III A emission standards. Both engines are turbocharged and intercooled, and 100% biodiesel-compatible.

INFORMATION

Even in particularly tough weather conditions, starting of the engine is optimized by a timing system that utilizes Hydraulic Roller Tappets (HRT). This device is designed to lift the plunger slightly, and thereby induce a slight advance of the injection timing (until the engine coolant temperature reaches 65 °C). Among the main benefits of HRT is the fact that it eliminates the annoying white smoke produced typically by diesel units when started cold, optimizing the response of the engine immediately. In its most recent evolution, this engine has been optimized further in terms of efficiency thanks to the introduction of a new proportional viscostatic fan , which in addition to making the engine more efficient also saves energy, as power consumption is reduced by less than 4 HP, significantly benefiting performance and overall efficiency of the vehicle. The diagram below illustrates the operation of the viscostatic fan, which is based on a concept as simple as it is effective; the two parts of the bi-metal plate (located between the engine and the fan) react in different ways to temperature changes, with the result that the plate deforms as the temperature rises. This in turn causes a valve to open, allowing the high-viscosity fluid to flow into special chambers, where it begins to perform its function as a clutch, engaging the fan speed proportionally with the engine temperature.

TRANSMISSION The range offers new transmission options. In addition to the choice of mechanical transmissions with synchronized mechanical reverse shuttle (15 FWD + 15 REV or 20 FWD + 20 REV – LS versions) or transmissions with hydraulic power shuttle (20 FWD + 20 REV or 40 FWD + 40 REV with Hi-Lo – GS versions), the MY 2012 range now offers customers an “intermediate” mechanical transmission (on LS versions) with mechanical shuttle and Hi-Lo :

• 5-speed synchromesh gearbox, 4 speed ranges with creeper, synchronized mechanical shuttle and Hi-Lo, giving a total of 40 FWD + 40 REV ratios. Minimum ground speed 0.43 km/h.

• 5-speed synchromesh gearbox, 3 speed ranges, synchronized mechanical shuttle and

Hi-Lo, giving a total of 30 FWD + 30 REV ratios. Minimum ground speed 1.48 km/h.

REAR LIFT With the introduction of MY 2012, changes have been made to the rear lift, and new features added. On all versions of the R3. 90 model (LS and GS), the lift assistor cylinders will have the same diameter of 70 mm, to enable better balancing when implements are raised, while maintaining the same maximum lifting capacity of 4,300 kg.

INFORMATION

In the case of R3. 105 models (LS and GS) there will also be the option of a rear lift with electronic control , giving precise and effective control over implements during operation. In addition, R3. 105 models will be available with assistor cylinders of higher specification (optional), which are able to increase the capacity of the rear lift to 6,200 kg. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM: SPOOL VALVES Another new feature of the MY 2012 package is the selection of auxiliary spool valves for the R3. 105 model. In addition to the existing 6 rear ports (3 spools), there is now the option of 8 rear ports provided by the addition of a further electrohydraulically operated 2-way ON/OFF spool valve of low rated flow (25 l/min) controlled from a rocker switch in the cab; useful for implements requiring positional control (e.g. plough with hydraulic top link, hedge/verge cutter carried on folding arm, etc.).

CAB Cab versions of the MY 2012 R3. range feature a new one-piece structure (70 mm higher) with 4 slimline corner posts giving improved visibility. With this new cab, the upward angle of visibility has been increased by no less than 8°. I n practical terms, the cab presents a greater expanse of glass and significantly fewer blind spots. Another engineering and styling improvement introduced with MY 2012 concerns the air-conditioning condenser and its new cover (60 mm lower than its predecessor) for versions with standard cab roof (both light and dark grey). The condenser is the same for the version with high visibility roof, which means superior cooling performance and — thanks to the new cover — a more streamlined look to the roof itself.

INFORMATION

With the MY 2012 package, there are also new features added to the cab interior. Two new side consoles have been added: one for the version with mechanically controlled lift, and another for the version with electronically controlled lift.

New Rx console for version with mechanically controlled lift Previous Rx console

The pictures above show the new right hand side console for the mechanically controlled rear lift, compared to its predecessor. The lift levers, the hand throttle and speed memory button, and the rear auxiliary valve levers, are all positioned much more comfortably than on the previous console. The new console also incorporates a handy covered compartment, and the rocker switch for the electrohydraulically controlled ON/OFF spool valve fitted to machines with 8 rear external pressure ports.

The picture alongside shows the new right hand side console for machines equipped with the electronically controlled rear lift (105 model only); this console carries buttons operating the differential lock and 4WD engagement, the front and rear PTO clutches, the PTO AUTO function , the engine speed memory, the electronic lift lock/release function, as well as the lift up/down, rate of drop and height limiting controls. The positioning of the auxiliary spool valve levers, the rocker switch for the ON/OFF spool valve and the covered compartment is the same as for the version with mechanically controlled lift.

INFORMATION

As for the hand throttle, in the case of models equipped with electronic rear lift, the control is positioned on the right hand side of the instrument panel together with a second engine speed memory button.

Also adopted for the MY 2012 range are new sound-absorbent materials (around the instrument panel, under the fenders) and a floor covering of open-cell foam material, combining to improve the level of soundproofing still further.

With the introduction of the MY 2012 package, the R3. range also focuses strongly on an issue more important than ever in modern agriculture — SAFETY. In effect, the new machines are fitted with a number of devices designed to make working conditions that much safer:

- Four wheel drive engages AUTOMATICALLY when the parking brake is operated

(versions with electrohydraulically operated 4WD only)

- DIGITAL display (standard on all models and versions) showing a comprehensive

selection of information for the driver

- INERTIA REEL seat belt (standard on all models and versions)
