Landini 6c V shift

[dgjeynes]

Anybody running one? Looked at the 6c 145 at Lamma and was very impressed with overall build quality and finish, currently trying to find a demo with my local dealer.

Yes it was but that was backend probs which is a zf same fitted to McCormick deutz kubota and these generally get good reviews but theres always the odd bad 1 out there

Landini had a serious amount of power and was comfy to sit in, controls were different to most other things and I found it difficult to put anyone in it without explaining things, the backend issue came from a poorly placed locking bolt on the assistor rams which after ploughing a few thousand acres wore through allowing the bottom pin to come loose and sat ontop of the linkage arm an be when it was lifted sheared the assistor ram casting.

Main reason for changing to the Case Maxxum was autosteer integration and ease of use of the controls

All in all the landini was a good machine which was in need of refinement, the newer models have been refined a lot more almost to a par with the mainstream manufacturers. The vshift gearbox is also very good, easy to set up and to use! A6-145 will be very good on fuel and a capable tractor, I have nothing against them and would have another one, but only if I felt the case cab was poorer than the landini as that was the main decider, my current 145 Maxxum is the best tractor on fuel I have ever run and would take some beating, have it on front and back mowers, 3m combi drill, baler, 4f plough, rake, 12 tonne trailer etc and handles all in its stride

Feel free to message me directly with any specific questions on the landini, happy to explain anything you need

had a run in a kubota m7 and had good look round her other day and backend seems like well built thing to me so would be similar story way landini and they look well in the metallic blue also how is it much easier on juice cause bith fpt engines or does the zf suck lota power cause ppl say the m7s are thirsty but we had smaller kubota out on demo and thought it wasnt bad on fuel and it has same engine as m7

Carting straw the landini was burning 80/90L a load where as the case is burning 50/60 L rowing up is around 0.8L/ac can't remember off the top of my head what everything else is!

Thats sum difference. Is the case active8? Was your landini a 6pot?

Yeah active 8, landini was a 6pot, not noticing any real drop in power (forwards speed while in work)

Awaiting the Active 8 gearbox in a puma to see how it performs in a larger framed tractor

Just for information, the 6c V-shift is Argo Tractors own CVT transmission, same that’s used in the McCormick X6 VT which was utility tractor if the year in 2018!

So not a ZF built transaxle?

 

[Lbarnard24]

Nope, all designed and manufactured in house by Argo Tractors, ZF TPT in the 7 series 4cyl & 6cyl tractors, 75% of the 6C series is built in house in Italy

Is any1 on here runnin 1 like this? Wonder what ther like for reliability/useability? If ther fit to make ther own for this series they must surely be plannin to make ther own for larger tractors in future

There was a lot of interest at the ploughing in September because it is the only CVT tractor that can do 50kmph and weighs less than 5t! Transmission has been around for 3 years with no major issues, perfect tractor for loader work too

Do you know if it has ranges like fendt that your in high or low or is it like jd as in it starts of in low and works its way up thru the clutch packs as speed increases? Be nice to see them doin well.

It does have a mechanical field reduction yes, so in Low range for high torque it’s stepless drive up to around 33kmph and in high it’s step less drive though to 50kmph, and a good powered zero too very smooth when moving off or quick shuttling using the button on the joystick

I fancied one last year the price wasnt any cheaper than the major brands( resale is always a worry) and now that cnh have a smaller cvx that must be the tractor to get if your in the market providing its a lot cheaper than a green one

Bit like fendt then
