68 MACHINERY APR/MAY 2019 • farmers-mart.co.uk Landini Rex 4 tractor cab air filtration upgrade safeguards spraying operators A new upgrade for the tractor cab air filtration system on Landini Rex 4 tractors provides top level Category 4 protection against spray contam- inants and easy change-over be- tween regular and carbon filters. New Rex 4 tractors with the op- tional CAT4 cab have both types of filter installed at the same time and operators can select either type with the flick of a switch. This arrangement provides quick and convenient access to the maximum level of protection from potential contaminants in the cab while spraying but also opti- mises the service life of the special carbon filter. The new Landini Rex 4 tractors come in a number of width and wheelbase configurations, primar- ily for top fruit, orchard, vineyard and horticultural work. But with up to six power outputs from 70-112hp in a very compact package, the ‘F’ and ‘GT’ versions in particular are also suited to yard and light field work on livestock farms, especially where limited space or accessibility excludes larger tractors of similar power. Features introduced with the new range include front axle sus- pension for the first time, a multi- tude of new transmission options including two- and three-speed powershift, up to four-speed pto, and a cab with a flat floor – usual- ly, operators have to straddle the transmission tunnel on tractors of this size. The CAT4 cab provides maximum protection against operator contamination when the Rex 4 tractors are used with a sprayer. There are two filter housings, one in each side of the cab roof panel, an airflow diverter inside the air intake assembly located at the back of the roof panel, and filter status information on the tractor’s instrument display. With a general purpose filter in one side and a carbon filter in the other, operators can switch between the two as appropriate, with the cab pressurised to the level required to prevent ingress of contaminants through door seals, and so on. With the Landini system, the carbon filter need only be ‘active’ when required, simply by flicking a switch in the cab. The operator can then see the carbon filter’s status, as well as the airflow speed and cab pressure, on the tractor’s instrument panel. www.landini.it/en Feeders - Buckets - Muck forks - Bale spikes - Bainbridge Rotary Sweepers BAINBRIDGE ENGINEERING are independent feeder specialists dealing in sales, repairs, and relines of most makes of feeders.
