SAME Virtus RV Shift

The new SAME Virtus offers impressive performance matched with extraordinarily low operating costs and simplified maintenance. Credit for this goes to the new 3.8 litre FARMotion 45 and FARMotion 45 ULTRA Stage V engines. These engines use cutting edge technology, with an advanced new combustion chamber design, 2000 bar common rail fuel injection and the eVisco fan, while FARMotion 45 ULTRA variants feature an electronically controlled variable geometry turbo. Together, these solutions offer maximum power outputs from 116 to 137 HP (or 126 to 143 CV in Boost mode) at 2000 rpm, and peak torque of 564 Nm (576 Nm in Boost mode) for the most powerful variant available.

While traditionalists can opt for a transmission with 5 speed mechanical gearbox and 3-stage Powershift, the new generation SAME Virtus Stage V is now also available with the innovative full-powershift RVshift, controlled entirely from a single joystick, which offers a total of up to 20 + 16 speeds (with or without supercreeper). The RVshift  transmission offers unprecedented levels of comfort and, among other features, also includes the Automatic Powershift (APS) function and a fully user-customisable function for automatically selecting between “work” and “transport” modes.

SAME Virtus Stage V tractors can be configured with a choice of different hydraulic system variants. The most comprehensive configuration is a 120 l/min load sensing hydraulic system with up to 10 rear couplers, both mechanical and electronic controls (depending on model) and Power Beyond. To cater for the many different farm tasks that a general purpose machine such as this has to deal with, the new Virtus comes with an extensive choice of PTO speed modes (540, 540 ECO, 1000 and 1000 ECO) and a groundspeed PTO with independent output shaft. AUTO PTO, a function which engages and disengages the PTO automatically in relation to the position of the electronically controlled rear lift, is standard.

Available in a choice of three progressively more comprehensively equipped variants, the TopVision cabs offer the space, comfort, levels of equipment and control ergonomics you’d expect from a premium tractor. Mechanical cab suspension, LED work lights, the iMonitor, high visibility roof, a 12V refrigerator, USB ports and an audio system with DAB+ radio are just some of the optional accessories available for the new SAME Virtus.
