The 5C tractor series joins the Deutz-Fahr catalog

Deutz-Fahr presents the new ?5C? series, simplified agricultural tractors from 99 to 127 ch (5100C, 5110C, 5120C, 5130C).
They are fitted with a Deutz 4-cylinder engine that meets Tier IV-i emission standards thanks to a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve.

These tractors come with mechanical or semi-powershift transmissions with up to 60 forward and reverse speeds. The manufacturer equips its tractors with SDD technology, which allows turning with fewer steering wheel turns. The Deutz-Fahr 5C series is already available in the catalog.

A Deutz 4-cylinder, 3,6-liter engine on the Deutz-Fahr 5C

True to air cooling, Deutz-Fahr equips the 5C series with the 4-cylinder Deutz TCD 3,6 engine meeting Tier IV-i emission standards, thanks to the combination of an EGR valve (part of the exhaust gas is cooled, then fed back into the intake circuit) and a DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst).

According to the manufacturer, the ?EGR + DOC? combination for exhaust gas treatment is an economical solution because it requires no AdBlue injection (SCR technology).

A modular transmission: from 10 to 60 forward/reverse gears

The German manufacturer offers 6 different transmissions on the 5C series. Deutz-Fahr is able to offer such a range thanks to the principle of modularity.

As standard, the tractors come with a synchronized mechanical transmission with two ranges of five gears, with a mechanical ?LS? shuttle. This gives the 10 forward/reverse speed transmission.

This solution can be extended to four ranges of five gears, i.e. 20 forward/reverse speeds, from 162 m/h to 40 km/h. This transmission is available with the mechanical ?LS? or hydraulic ?GS? shuttle.

The manufacturer also offers a 3-speed under-load module with the base module (5 x 2). The transmission then comprises 30 forward/reverse speeds, ranging from 134 m/h to 40 km/h.

This setup comes with a hydraulic ?GS? shuttle.

Finally, Deutz-Fahr offers the ?Hi-Lo? super-reducer on all transmissions, doubling the number of gears.

?Stop & Go? with the hydraulic ?GS? shuttle

For tractors fitted with a hydraulic GS shuttle (optional with the 20/20 transmission and standard with the 30/30 transmission), Deutz-Fahr provides the ?Stop & Go? function.

It allows the tractor's movement to be controlled using the brakes without touching the clutch pedal. According to the manufacturer, this solution proves useful for work with a front loader, hitching an implement or hill starts.

Braking is provided by independent wet brakes (one on each rear axle half-shaft and one on the front axle shaft).

When stationary, the ?Park Brake? function locks the tractor's 4 wheels.

Working in ?Eco? mode with the Deutz-Fahr 5C

For road use, the German tractor maker provides a transmission ratio allowing travel at 40 km/h at an engine speed of 1600 tr/min

For the PTO, Deutz offers 2 or 4 PTO speeds: 540/540Eco as standard or 540/540Eco/1000/1000Eco.

Finally, the manufacturer offers an optional ?60Eco? hydraulic circuit. The hydraulic circuit consists of a double pump delivering 60 l/min from 1600 rpm, compared with 55 l/min at 2100 tr/min with a single pump (standard).
