Kiwi Classic 

Compact Dimensions and Impressive Performance.

In such a niche industry such as Kiwifruit, finding quality European tractors that can cater for the specific requirements is no easy task. Fortunately, Deutz-Fahr NZ have answered the call from growers throughout the country to offer a tractor that is fit for purpose in the canopies of the Kiwifruit Orchards.

The Kiwi Classic uses Deutz Fahr’s Ecoline F range as the basis of this specialised product which is, in its own right already an exceptionally spec’d machine. Three or four cylinder models are available ranging from 82-95HP with electronic engine governing giving precise engine control and efficient and consistent power delivery. Strong front axles with four-wheel braking are a standard feature making these tractors equally suited to forklift work and trailer work. The heavy back end of the tractors offer up to 3,000KG l.c. and the 45 l/min hydraulic pump with independent steering pump make these tractors as versatile as they are robust.

This tractor offers an excellent foundation for the Kiwi Classic to be built from. But it is the local modifications and engineering – with input from industry experts and daily operators of the machines – that make the Kiwi Classic really stand out amongst the crowd.

WHEN OPTIMISED PERFORMANCE IS THE KEY TO DURABILITY.

Powered by 3 or 4 cylinder SDF Series 1000 Tier III engines with simple turbo or turbo intercooler forced induction and an electronic governor system, the Agroplus F Ecoline is reliable and will stand up to the stress and strain of work for years to come. The engine features an innovative injection system with a single pump per cylinder, to deliver fuel instantaneously at very high injection pressures, optimising both performance and consumption. But that's not all. A button on the instrument panel saves and sets engine speed. This speed is then maintained by the electronic control unit, which continuously monitors and adjusts engine performance to ensure constant, uniform operation.

WHETHER FOR TRANSPORT OR SPECIALISED APPLICATIONS, A TRANSMISSION LIKE THIS KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED.

Optimised spacing between gear ratios for maximum productivity: this is the goal of the mechanical transmission of the Kiwi Classic, which has been engineered for efficiency. Combining the 5-speed synchronised mechanical with the underdrive gear and super creeper gear increases the number of ratios available to 30+15. So while the Kiwi Classic can reach a top speed of 40 Km/h, shortening transfer and transport times, when equipped with the super creeper gear it offers a choice of 10 speeds within a speed interval from 0.21 to 1.02 Km/h, making it the ideal choice for working with stone crusher or ditch digger implements. With integral braking and disc brakes on all 4 wheels, the Kiwi Classic also offers superlative active and passive safety.

CLASS-BEATING MANOEUVRABILITY EVEN IN THE MOST EXTREME CONDITIONS.

With a 60° steering angle, the Kiwi Classic is an extraordinarily manoeuvrable tractor. With its optimised chassis configuration and axles, and the design of the front mount and hood, the Kiwi Classic has been specifically conceived for maximum agility even in the most challenging conditions. But that's not all: the rear lift with a capacity of 3,000 Kg, which makes it possible to use very heavy implements, sets the Agroplus F Ecoline way above any other tractor in its class. The PTO has also been conceived to make full use of all the power necessary, especially when using implements such as atomisers, side shoot removers and inter-row cultivators. The synchronised PTO, on the other hand, is ideal for transport applications on steep gradients and towing trailers with driven axles.

DESIGNED FOR A COMFORTABLE, PLEASANT DRIVING EXPERIENCE.

Comfort and space are also maximised in the design of the Kiwi Classic, with its uncluttered, roomy and comfortable driving area. The transmission levers are on the right hand side of the seat, so they do not hamper the driver climbing into and out of the seat. The suspended pedals and adjustable steering wheel ensure a perfect driving position, while special deflectors in clear polycarbonate protect the driver from dirt and noise, while offering an unimpeded view of the front wheel
