Introduction
Landini Rex 70: Specialized Orchard and Vineyard Tractor
The Landini Rex 70 is a specialized narrow-track tractor designed primarily for orchard and vineyard applications. Produced by Landini, part of the Argo Group, this model was manufactured between 2001 and 2020 as a key component of the Rex series, which includes the Rex 65 and Rex 80 variants.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled Perkins 1004-40 diesel engine. This 4.0-liter, 4-cylinder powerplant delivers a rated output of 68 hp (50.7 kW) at 2200 RPM. It produces a maximum torque of 194 lb-ft (263.1 Nm) at 1300 RPM, providing the necessary low-end power for heavy implement operation in restricted spaces.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The Rex 70 offers high operational flexibility through several transmission configurations: a standard 12-speed shuttle shift, a 24-speed version with creeper gears for slow-speed tasks, and a high-spec 40-speed Deltashift transmission. The mechanical setup includes power steering and wet disc brakes for improved safety and control. Models are available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive configurations.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is engineered to handle various implements, featuring a total flow capacity of up to 19.2 gpm (72.7 lpm), reaching 22.4 gpm (84.8 lpm) when equipped with the Deltashift transmission. The rear hitch is a Category II type with a lift capacity of 5,732 lbs (2,600 kg). The independent rear Power Take-Off (PTO) is engaged via an electro-hydraulic clutch and offers multiple speed settings including 540/750 and 540/1000 RPM.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
Designed for narrow rows, the tractor features a compact wheelbase of 79.3 inches (201 cm) for the standard model, with width configurations varying based on the specific chassis type. Standard safety equipment includes a two-post foldable mid-mount Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS), with an optional factory cab available for increased operator comfort.
Conclusion
The Landini Rex 70 is a robust, purpose-built machine optimized for high-value specialty crops. Its combination of a high-torque Perkins engine, versatile transmission options, and substantial hydraulic capacity makes it a reliable choice for professional orchard and vineyard management.
