The Goldoni 45C is a compact utility tractor produced between 2005 and 2015, distributed by John Deere. Designed primarily for agricultural and landscaping tasks, this machine is part of the 40C and 50C series, focusing on maneuverability and operational efficiency in confined environments.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder Lombardini LDW 2204 diesel engine with a displacement of 2.2 liters. It delivers a rated power of 45 hp (33.6 kW) at 2800 RPM. The engine is characterized by an indirect injection fuel system and provides a maximum torque of 95.9 lb-ft (130.0 Nm) at 1600 RPM, offering sufficient pull for varied utility applications.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The drivetrain features a synchronized transmission providing 12 forward and 12 reverse gears, coupled with a mechanical dry disc clutch. The tractor is equipped with four-wheel drive to ensure traction on uneven surfaces. Steering is facilitated by a power steering system, while braking is handled by hydraulic wet disc brakes for reliable stopping power.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 2176 psi (150.0 bar) with a pump flow rate of 8.7 gpm (32.9 lpm). It features a Category I/IN rear hitch, providing a lifting capacity of 3086 lbs (1399 kg) at the ends and 2205 lbs (1000 kg) at 24 inches (610 mm). The independent rear PTO offers two speed settings: 540 RPM at 2520 engine RPM and 1000 RPM at 2620 engine RPM.
