Produced between 2004 and 2012, the SAME Explorer3 85 is a utility tractor designed for versatile agricultural operations, bridging the gap between medium-duty field work and specialized tasks.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4.0-liter, 4-cylinder SAME 1000.4 WT turbocharged diesel engine. It generates a net rated power of 81 hp (60.4 kW) at 2300 RPM and produces a maximum torque of 240 lb-ft at 1600 RPM, providing steady power delivery for heavy-duty applications.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The Explorer3 85 offers two primary transmission configurations: a 15-speed partially synchronized gearbox or the 45-speed Agroshift transmission, which includes a three-speed power shift. A creeper range is available as an option for both systems to facilitate low-speed operations. The tractor features both 2WD and 4WD capabilities, supported by electro-hydraulic differential locks on both axles.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system features a pump flow rate of 14.3 gpm (54.1 lpm). The rear lift capacity is rated at 10,582 lbs (4799 kg). The rear PTO is an independent unit with 540/1000 RPM speeds, while an optional independent front PTO provides 1000 RPM, allowing for the concurrent use of front-mounted implements.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
Built on a 92.9-inch wheelbase, the tractor provides a ground clearance of 17.7 inches. It is available with either a two-post ROPS or a climate-controlled cab. The cab version weighs approximately 8,378 lbs, while the ROPS configuration weighs 8,047 lbs, ensuring stable operation across varying terrain.
Conclusion
The SAME Explorer3 85 is a robust utility tractor suited for mixed farming environments. Its combination of high-torque displacement, versatile transmission options, and substantial lift capacity makes it a reliable choice for farmers requiring a machine capable of handling diverse implements and demanding field conditions.
