SAME Explorer

The new FARMotion Stage V 35 and 45 engines are available in 3- or 4-cylinder configurations. They have many strengths: compact size, high performance, superior reliability and minimum maintenance. The electronically controlled Common Rail injection system can reach a pressure of up to 2000 bar, delivering optimized performance curves for agricultural usage. In addition to the Common Rail, the 7-hole injectors, viscostatic cooling fan and PowerCore air filter have a positive impact on fuel consumption and noise reduction. The Explorer 125 has a max power of 126 HP at 2000 RPM, while at 1600 RPM (engine speed of ECO PTO) it can deliver a torque of 517 Nm and a power of 115 HP, reaching 91% of its maximum power.

To develop a truly modular concept, the transmission of the new Explorer is developed on the basis of a 5-speed gearbox. However, it is possible to add 2 or 3 Powershift steps, and a mechanical reverse shuttle or hydraulic PowerShuttle with adjustable reactivity. 

Moreover, the “Stop&Go” system allows drivers to carry out precise manoeuvres with only the brake pedals, without using the main clutch.

All transmission versions are also available, as an option, with underdrive and creeper ranges to reach up to 60+60 speeds. For HML transmission, the Automatic PowerShift function (APS) is now also available. Other common features are front and rear differentials, front wheel drive electro-hydraulically engaged, and multidisc brakes on all 4 wheels.

Different hydraulic systems are available, with 55 or 90 l/min single or double pump, 4 to 6 rear outlets, mechanical controls, flow regulator and free return. A low flow (25 l/min), 2-way on/off electronic regulated distributor is also available, to reach 8 hydraulic ways at the rear. 

A powerful, mechanically controlled rear lift is provided as standard, but, as an option, an electronic version is available with a max lift force of 5400 kg, and a factory-fitted front lift with a max force of 2100 kg. The PTO is available in different modes (540/540-540E/540-540E-1000-1000E), always electro-hydraulically actuated and provided with removable shaft. The groundspeed PTO has an independent output shaft, as well as the 1000 RPM front PTO.

Thanks to its modern 4 pillar design, the optimal external visibility is always ensured. A high comfort level is guaranteed thanks to the Hydro Silent-Blocks, able to reduce driver’s vibrations by 40% with respect to the traditional type. The tiltable and telescopic steering column, combined with a suspended seat with several settings, enable everyone to find a comfortable position. 

The low noise level, the quality of materials and the ergonomic layout contribute to positioning this cab at the highest levels of comfort. The cab can also be equipped with a bracket to support additional devices, a passenger seat with seatbelts, the DAB radio, many electrical sockets, smartphone and cup holders and the CTM – the modern over-the-air data transmission suitable for SDF Fleet Management.
