Goldoni 1445F: Specialized Orchard and Vineyard Tractor
The 1445F is a specialized tractor produced between 1987 and 1990 by the Italian manufacturer Goldoni and distributed by John Deere. Designed specifically for the constraints of orchard and vineyard maintenance, this compact machine features a liquid-cooled, 3-cylinder diesel engine with a power output of 41.4 hp (30.9 kW).
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 2.9-liter 3-cylinder diesel engine. It operates at a rated speed of 2300 RPM, delivering 112.1 lb-ft of torque at 1300 RPM. The engine cooling system is liquid-based, and it utilizes a dry-type air cleaner to protect internal components during field operations.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 1445F is available in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations. The standard transmission is a synchronized unit offering 8 forward and 4 reverse gears. An optional creeper transmission is available, expanding the selection to 16 forward and 8 reverse gears for tasks requiring very low travel speeds. Maneuverability is supported by power steering and mechanical wet disc brakes.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a pump flow of 8.7 gpm (32.9 lpm) at a pressure of 2611 psi (180.0 bar). It features three rear valves and three mid-mount valves for implement control. The independent rear PTO provides speeds of 540 and 1000 RPM, with a 540E economy setting available at 1624 engine RPM.
Dimensions and Hitch
This model is engineered for narrow-row operations, with a width of 51.7 inches and a wheelbase of 72.2 inches. The rear hitch is a Category I/I-N type, featuring top-link draft sensing and a lift capacity of 3197 lbs (1450 kg) at 24 inches behind the hitch point.
Conclusion
The Goldoni 1445F is a robust, purpose-built tractor tailored for the specific geometry and power requirements of viticulture and fruit production. Its combination of a high-torque 3-cylinder engine, versatile transmission options, and precise hydraulic control makes it a reliable choice for intensive agricultural tasks in confined spaces.
