ENGINE

The X8 series tractors feature Betapower Fuel Efficiency 6.7L, six-cylinder engines that deliver power ratings of 264, 286 and 310 hp. These engines are equipped with electronically-controlled variable-geometry turbocharger, common rail injection system and SCR exhaust gas after-treatment technology and meet Tier4 emission regulations. The engine is located within a rugged chassis which helps reduce noise and vibration levels within the cab. The tilt-up hood opens wide to provide easy access to the engine compartment for routine service and maintenance. The coolers located in front of the radiator open fully from a single latch to provide easy cleaning in dusty conditions.

TRANSMISSION

The VT-Drive transmission is a continuously variable transmission that provides an infinite number of speed ratios from zero to the maximum speed.. This transmission offers four speed ranges that allow the use of specific implements at varying speeds which can be programmed by the operator. The VT Easy Pilot handle integrated into the multi-function armrest features a series of buttons that allow the operator to select speeds and ranges and to operate different functions such as the remote shuttle, rear hitch raise lower, cruise control, one remote valve and the headland management. All functions are clearly displayed on the instrument panel and on the DSM touch screen monitor.

AXLES

Outstanding traction and excellent maneuverability ensure optimum grip and stability, resulting in improved driving comfort in the field and on the road. The front suspended axle with center pivot is equipped with wet multi-disc brakes, fourwheel drive engagement and full locking differentials. Specially designed to match the power of the X8, the rear axle is sturdy and reliable and features wet multi-disc brakes.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

The X8 series tractors feature a closed-center hydraulic system with variable-displacement pump. This means that the pump always delivers exactly the quantity of oil that the system requires, thereby eliminating unnecessary power waste. A high-flow pump provides 212 l/min of flow. The electronically-controlled rear hitch is equipped with lower link draft sensing for accurate implement control and provides a maximum lift capacity of 26,450 lbs (12000 kg). The X8 tractors come standard with 4 electro-hydraulically controlled rear remote valves.

ISOBUS SYSTEM

The X8 series comes standard with ISOBUS system. This technology utilizes the tractor CANBUS network and allows the operator to manage the implement operating parameters and performance via a dedicated menu in the DSM monitor. The ISOBUS system allows communication between tractor, implement and on-board computer by synchronising the data exchange for improved operating efficiency

PTO

The X8 range has been designed to operate in a variety of conditions with heavy, power-demanding implements. The PTO offers three speeds: 540Eco, 1000 and 1000Eco rpm and the driveline design ensures minimal power loss and therefore maximum productivity. An electro-hydraulically operated clutch enables smooth and modulated engagement of the PTO, ensuring a soft start-up of the implement. External PTO and hitch controls are located on the rear fenders making it easier to attach implements from the ground.

FRONT HITCH & PTO

The X8 series features as standard a front hitch with a lift capacity of up to 11,000 lbs (5000 kg). Also standard is a front PTO with a dedicated remote valve

AUTO PTO

The Auto PTO feature will automatically disengage and reengage the PTO at three-point linkage heights set by the operator, this reduces implement driveline damage and gives the operator precise control of the implement during headland turns.
