A blend of utility and corporate features, the Landini 5-085 stands out as a compact utility tractor in terms of size, performance, and weight. However, its robust structure and advanced technical-functional solutions allow it to compete with corporate tractors. Within the Landini range, it is a unique model whose versatility remains unmatched
Utility vs corporate tractors: understanding the differences
Utility tractors are agile, lightweight machines designed for fieldwork requiring speed and efficiency or for handling maintenance and towing tasks within farms and on the road. Corporate tractors, on the other hand, are more structured and powerful, capable of handling demanding field tasks when paired with the right equipment while still being suitable for farm and road operations.
At Landini, these two categories correspond to the “Series 4” and “Series 5” tractors. The “Series 4” tractors deliver between 60 and 75 horsepower with a weight of approximately 3,000 kg, while “Series 5” tractors offer between 95 and 114 horsepower with a weight exceeding 4,000 kg. Positioned between these two ranges, the “5-085” is a versatile hybrid tractor built on a 2,171 mm wheelbase—184 mm shorter than the “Series 5” and only 61 mm longer than the “Series 4.” With an unladen weight of around 3,500 kg, it bridges the gap between the “Series 4” (3,000 kg) and “Series 5” (4,000 kg) models.
The “5-085” boasts superior torque compared to the top model in the “Series 4” range, thanks to its 3.4L FPT Industrial four-cylinder engine. Delivering a maximum power output of 75 hp between 1,400 rpm (peak torque) and 2,200 rpm (maximum power), the tractor ensures high operational flexibility. This allows it to match the entry-level “Series 5-100” corporate model in maximum power, despite the latter featuring a larger displacement FPT “F36” engine.
Advanced transmission options for maximum efficiency
The “5-085” offers eight different transmission configurations. The most basic option is the “Power Four” mechanical gearbox, featuring three ranges and four gears, along with a synchronized mechanical reverser. Alternatively, a hi-lo transmission is available, increasing the gear count to 24+24, with reverse gears selectable via an electro-hydraulic reverser.
At the top of the range is the “T-Tronic” transmission, which integrates a three-stage powershift, providing 36 forward gears—12 of which are also available in reverse. Notably, the “T-Tronic” transmission is an original design by Argo Tractors. This is the same system used in “Series 5” models, reinforcing the “5-085” as a functionally competitive option within the corporate segment.
Superior hydraulic system for increased productivity
The hydraulic performance of the “5-085” is equally impressive, with a dual-circuit system ensuring full functionality even when operating oil-intensive equipment. The steering and electro-hydraulic components (including four-wheel drive engagement, differential locks, PTOs, and braking system) operate with an oil flow rate of 30 liters per minute. This working circuit, meanwhile, provides 56 liters per minute to power up to five distributors, two of which are ventral, with a flow selector doubling one of the outlets.
The available hydraulic outlets include four different types: standard double-acting units, automatic “kick-out” couplers, floating valves, and floating hydraulic motor connectors. This allows each tractor to be configured with the precise hydraulic setup needed for each individual farm.
Additionally, the rear three-point hitch has a lifting capacity of 3,900 kg, with an optional front hitch capable of lifting 1,600 kg. Both hitches feature the “Ergonomic Lift System” for precise position and force control. The front hitch and PTO do not interfere with the possibility of equipping the tractor with a front loader (with capacities of 1,500 or 1,800 kg) installed directly at the factory.
By combining engine performance, operational versatility, and a front axle designed for a 55-degree turning angle, the “5-085” emerges as a highly versatile tractor. It serves as an all-purpose solution for small to mid-sized farms while also functioning as a support vehicle for larger farms, optimizing the use of high-powered tractors and reducing operating costs.
Powerful performance with low fuel consumption
The “5-085” achieves outstanding performance and fuel efficiency thanks to its FPT Industrial “F34” engine. This 3.4L power unit meets Stage V emission standards without requiring exhaust after-treatment systems like SCR or urea, preserving both torque and power output. With a peak torque of 375 Nm at 1,400 rpm and a maximum power output of 75 hp at just over 1,800 rpm (remaining stable up to 2,200 rpm), the engine is turbocharged with an intercooler and features a high-pressure common rail system operating at 1,600 bar. Additionally, the “Memo Switch” function enables the operator to store and recall the optimal engine speed for repetitive tasks, improving efficiency and ease of use.
Comfortable and productive work environment
Farm work, particularly for maintenance and material handling, can be physically demanding due to constant steering, shifting, and braking. To enhance operator comfort, Landini has equipped the “5-085” with the “Total View Slim” cab from Argo Tractors. This four-pillar cabin, constructed with heat-resistant glass panels, is mounted on silent blocks for superior ride comfort.
The cab is well-ventilated, air-conditioned, and classified as “Category 2” to prevent dust infiltration. It also features a pneumatic suspension seat and can accommodate up to eight high-power LED work lights for optimal visibility during nighttime operations.
For modern precision farming, Landini offers optional digital solutions to connect the “5-085” with farm management systems, enabling seamless integration into a comprehensive machine fleet monitoring setup.
With its combination of power, efficiency, versatility, and operator comfort, the Landini “5-085” is a game-changing tractor, bridging the gap between utility and corporate models while delivering top-tier performance across diverse farming operations.
