Frutteto CVT 100 SAME Frutteto CVT 100 Specifications & Technical Data (2018—2023)

Cruise Control Features

Cruise-on: the vehicle accelerates to the set speed, even from a standstill. Cruise-off: the tractor stops and remains stationary (even on a gradient), held in position by the PowerZero function. What could be easier? The new CVT transmission also features a groundspeed PTO mode, which is particularly useful for working with a driven axle trailer. The ergonomic joystick makes controlling the transmission extremely intuitive, with all the main functions operated from fingertip controls. The user programmable function buttons may be used to offer duplicated reverse shuttle control on the MaxCom joystick. A dedicated dial lets the operator select from a variety of different engine management modes ranging from “Eco”, which minimises fuel consumption, to “Power”, which maximises tractor performance. The control unit software features three different operating modes: 1. Manual: with the throttle pedal used to control engine speed and the multifunction joystick used to adjust groundspeed, the tractor behaves essentially like a machine with a mechanical gearbox, but with the smoothness typical of a CVT transmission. Holding the joystick forward or backwards (when driving in reverse or decelerating) produces continuous acceleration or deceleration, whereas pushing the joystick briefly alters the speed in intervals of 0.1Km/h between 0 and 15Km/h, and in intervals of 1Km/h at higher speeds. 2. PTO: This mode is selected automatically when the PTO is engaged, and maintains a stable PTO speed independently of tractor speed, which the driver can continue to vary as required using the accelerator pedal. This functionality overcomes the major limitation of conventional mechanical transmissions, where, at a given groundspeed, the available PTO torque is linked inseparably with the torque produced by the engine at that specific engine speed, and no change in available PTO torque is possible without changing gear. 3. Automatic: This is the recommended mode for traction applications in the field and transporting. The tractor accelerates to the preset speed when the accelerator is pressed, after which the electronic control unit maintains this speed by automatically controlling the engine in relation to load.

Pto

Confirming the versatility of the SAME Frutteto CVT family, these tractors are equipped as standard with a progressively engaged, electrohydraulically controlled PTO with three different operating modes - with the standard 540rpm mode plus 1000rpm and 540ECO modes. All configurations are equipped as standard with the Auto PTO function, which automatically engages and disengages the PTO in relation to the position of the implement hitched to the 3-point linkage, while a transmission-synchronised groundspeed mode is available as an option. An interchangeable splined output shaft and a 1000rpm front PTO are also available as options.

Radiator and Fuel Tank Features

The radiator pack (coolant, oil and intercooler) is compact and extremely quick and easy to clean, even when out in the field; the radiators are made from aluminium, making them significantly lighter than components made from more conventional materials, such as copper or brass. The diesel tank, with its 95-litre capacity (85-litre on the S and V versions), is large enough to guarantee a long working autonomy.

Hydrostatic Silent-Blocks

The new hydrostatic silent-blocks represent a major advance in terms of driver comfort; these 4 special hydraulic suspensions, fitted between the cab and the body of the tractor, reduce the level of noise and vibrations – a real plus point which contributes significantly to the exceptional level of comfort obtained. The all-glass cab structure, with a single-piece windscreen without a central pillar, ensures an unobstructed forward view in all directions, while the extended glazing in the roof enables safe handling of tall front implements which straddle rows. To meet specific operating requirements, the roof has a lifting panel at the back which improves the visibility of rear-mounted implements and tools working at height, such as loaders used in vineyards and fruit orchards. This feature is unique to all versions of the Frutteto CVT: these are professional machines which offer exclusive solutions.

ActiveDrive Control Software

The ActiveDrive control software includes anti-dive and anti-roll functions as standard. Specifically, anti-dive increases braking safety by countering sudden front suspension compression and the subsequent shift in load towards the front axle. This ensures that correct weight distribution over the four wheels is maintained even under hard braking, reducing stopping distances. Lubricated with transmission oil, the on-board brakes continue to deliver superlative stopping performance even after prolonged use. The anti-roll function, on the other hand, automatically adjusts the stiffness of the suspension system in relation to steering angle and ground speed, improving grip and stability both on the road and in the field.

Suspension and Traction Features

Suspension of the outer wheel relative to the inner wheel when cornering limits roll and improves vehicle body control. Additionally, four wheel drive, selected automatically by the Auto 4WD function, and the electrohydraulically operated 100% lockable front and rear differentials ensure maximum traction in all situations. The optional disc type rear differential lock may be engaged and disengaged progressively for better traction and stability. Four wheel braking is standard.
