2018 Deutz Fahr 430 Agrotron TTV 430

Power Efficiency is the philosophy applied by DEUTZ-FAHR to develop, design and improve each and every one of its products. Every component, device and system is conceived to improve efficiency and reduce power loss and fuel consumption, with the end goals of significantly increased performance and minimal environmental impact. The Agrotron 430 TTV tractors represent this philosophy put into practice: these are versatile machines capable of tackling any possible condition, equipped with highly efficient engines and the TTV continuously variable transmission.

Features may include:

430 Agrotron TTVtractors are equipped with potent four cylinder DEUTZ 2012 Series turbodiesel engines with four valves per cylinder, turbo-intercooler forced induction and common rail (DCR) injection.

The sixteen valve head ensures efficient combustion chamber filling and an optimised fuel-air mixture; while the configuration of the head itself allows for a central, vertical injector position, to inject (and, subsequently atomise) the fuel at the centre of the piston crown, where ignition normally initiates, significantly increasing power and reducing fuel consumption.

Power outputs : 134 hp / 98.5 kW for the 430.

The dual pump injection system (with injection pressures up to 1600 bar) and the new combustion chamber configuration contribute to ensuring immediate power delivery, while the injection system itself is electronically controlled for precise fuel delivery in relation to load. One example of the intelligent solutions applied for the engines equipping the Agrotron TTV series is the electronically controlled viscostatic fan, with variable speed in relation to temperature and load. The speed of the fan is controlled via a viscostatic joint managed by an electronic system, which ensures extremely rapid response times and varies the flow of cooling air in proportion to demand. The result is a solution which maintains an optimum coolant temperature and protects the engine against overheating while minimising power losses and reducing fuel consumption. This extraordinary engine allows the tractor to reach 40 km/h at an engine speed of just 1400 rpm, and saves fuel right from the beginning of the working day. The engines powering Agrotron TTV models use an innovative EGR exhaust gas recirculation system, to achieve compliance with Tier IIIA emissions regulations.

The transmission equipping the 430 Agrotron TTV range sets new benchmarks for continuously variable transmission technology.

The electronic management system offers a number of different transmission modes (Manual, PTO and Auto) and four working ranges, for optimised productivity at all speeds.

In each range, if needed, torque may be transmitted entirely mechanically (with no torque transmitted hydrostatically), for maximum efficiency and significant fuel savings in certain situations, such as when high tractive power is needed.

The operating principle is simple: the mechanical/hydrostatic system consists of a planetary reduction gearbox and a hydrostatic unit combined in a configuration optimised for maximum efficiency. The planetary reduction gearbox consists of four planetary gear units (each one of which maintaining continuous drive in each of the four corresponding ranges), while the hydrostatic unit uses a variable displacement pump driven directly by the engine, which is capable of continuously varying the speed of the hydraulic motor and, as a result, the tractor.
