The Nexos 240 offers multiple transmission configurations to suit varying operational requirements, ranging from a 12-speed mechanical shuttle to a 24-speed power shuttle or a two-speed power shift system. All variants include a four-wheel-drive system equipped with electro-hydraulic differential locks on both the front and rear axles to ensure optimal traction in challenging terrain.
Hydraulics and PTO
The machine utilizes an open-center hydraulic system with a standard pump flow of 15.1 gpm (57.2 lpm) and a system pressure of 2756 psi (190 bar). It features 2 to 4 remote valves. The rear power take-off (PTO) is independent and offers dual-speed capabilities of 540/1000 RPM. An optional front PTO is available, providing 1000 RPM for front-mounted equipment.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
Engineered for orchard and vineyard work, the tractor features a wheelbase of 85.1 inches (216 cm) and a compact profile. The operator environment is available as a two-post folding ROPS or a closed cab, which includes heating and optional air conditioning. Steering is managed by a power-assisted system, and braking is handled by wet disc brakes for consistent performance.
