The Landini “5 Series” medium utility tractors are among the best examples of the technical-functional characteristics essential for Italian agriculture. Weighing between 3,700 and 4,000 kilograms and with wheelbases ranging from 2,171 to 2,355 millimeters, the four models in this series — named “5-085,” “5-100,” “5-110,” and “5-120” — are versatile machines. They can meet the demands of larger farms and contractors while also serving as multifunctional machines for smaller family-run farms working on smaller plots of land.
Automation and Comfort Are Key
In both operational scenarios, it’s worth noting that businesses tend to favor tractors offering the best price-to-performance ratio, with special attention to automation and comfort. Not surprisingly, the Italian market increasingly demands medium-power tractors capable of handling modern equipment and technology while also being configurable to meet the specific tasks required. The Landini “5 Series” in the “Roboshift” version was designed with these needs in mind, offering the most advanced medium utility models from Fabbrico, equipped with a robotized transmission that combines the benefits of powershift systems with those of continuously variable transmissions (CVT).
12 Robotized Gears per Range
The transmission, an original design by Argo Tractors, is based on a three-range gearbox with four speeds, paired with a three-stage powershift. This setup allows for control of each block of 12 forward gears through the “SmartPilot” multifunction joystick, without needing to use the clutch. Once the appropriate range is selected for the task, the operator has 12 robotized gears available, which can be manually selected via two buttons on the joystick or automatically handled by the “Auto PowerShift” feature, which selects the most efficient gear for the job.
Simplified and Faster Maneuvers
The tractor also features push-button reverse shifting, which eliminates the need to use brakes and the clutch, simplifying maneuvers in tight spaces, such as at field ends. For repetitive tasks, the “Stop&Action” system provides added comfort by automatically managing the clutch, allowing the tractor to stop and restart with just the brake pedal. In this configuration, the “Roboshift” transmission offers 36 forward speeds and 12 reverse speeds, functioning as a highly versatile transmission. When operated manually, it behaves like a modern powershift with an electro-hydraulic reverser that can be modulated. When left to function automatically, it closely mimics a CVT, but with the mechanical efficiency typical of fixed-ratio transmissions.
This efficiency is enhanced in the Landini “5 Series Roboshift” by the flexibility of the FPT Industrial four-cylinder engines, which range from 3.4 liters and 75 horsepower in the “5-085 Roboshift” version to 3.6 liters in the higher-performance models. Maximum outputs for the “5-100 Roboshift,” “5-110 Roboshift,” and “5-120 Roboshift” models are 95, 102, and 114 horsepower, respectively. These engines meet Stage V emissions standards through the exclusive “DOC+SCRoF” system, which combines a DOC catalyst with an SCR system in a single housing that also includes a DPF particulate filter. This eliminates the need for EGR, enhancing the engine’s compactness while benefiting from high-efficiency common rail fuel injection at 1,800 bar, along with four-valve-per-cylinder distribution powered by a turbo-aftercooler system.
Thanks to this setup, the engines produce torque curves that peak at 1,400 rpm and remain steady up to 2,200 rpm. The high injection pressure and fine atomization of the diesel fuel in the combustion chamber result in high thermodynamic efficiency, contributing to reduced fuel consumption, even in demanding field applications.
Dual-Pump Hydraulic System
As a result, these tractors deliver high operational efficiency, regardless of the task. This is further supported by a dual-circuit hydraulic system providing 94 liters of oil per minute, with 32 liters dedicated to onboard services and 62 liters (expandable to 82 liters) available for up to six distributors. Two of these distributors are located centrally and can be controlled via a dedicated joystick, which not only simplifies the control of a front loader but also manages the powershift gears and the declutch function. The “SmartPilot” joystick also controls the engagement and disengagement of the PTO. The same hydraulic system powers the rear hitch, which has a lifting capacity of 4,500 kilograms, with an optional front hitch capable of lifting up to 2,200 kilograms.
Panoramic View
Designed for full-time use by medium and small farms, the Landini “5 Series Roboshift” is equipped with the “Total View Slim” four-pillar cab, an original design by Argo Tractors. This cab offers full visibility of the working area thanks to the exclusive use of heat-shielded glass for the side panels and a transparent roof that allows constant monitoring of a front loader. Standard features include digital dashboards that serve as the human-machine interface, mechanically or pneumatically suspended driver seats, adjustable steering wheels, and lighting systems with up to 10 LED lights for safe operation in low-visibility conditions.
Always Up to Expectations
Frequently used for farm or forage operations, the “5 Series Roboshift” medium utility tractors can be equipped with original Landini “Lc,” “Li,” and “Lt” loaders. These loaders have a lift capacity between 1,200 and 1,800 kilograms and can reach heights of up to 3.8 meters. They are built from high-strength steel, feature “Blue Icon” corrosion-resistant coatings, and are easy to control with a choice of four joystick models tailored to specific operational needs. The loaders are designed to distribute the weight evenly across all wheels, reducing tire wear and stress on axles and bearings, which is further aided by two nitrogen accumulators that cushion the tractor from the jolts typically caused by load handling. The “Velotak” and “Flash System” make attachment and detachment easy, with the former offering quick hitching via a single lever and the latter allowing all hydraulic connections to be made with a single movement. There is also the option for a floating position, allowing the equipment to follow the terrain profile, and operators can choose between manual, mechanical, or hydraulic leveling systems.
