kscarbel2 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 MAN Truck & Bus Press Release / August 4, 2017 A variety of transport tasks are arising in agricultural business and for contracted hauliers. Thanks to their high payload at a gross train weight of 40 or 38 tonnes, low fuel consumption and typical high driving speed of 89 km/h, trucks are gaining ground in the transport chain between farm, field and warehouse. At this year's AGRITECHNICA trade fair, taking place from 12 to 18 November in Hannover, MAN will be presenting an agricultural truck, based on a MAN TGS semitrailer tractor, alongside the engines for installations developed by MAN Engines, at Stand C45 in Hall 16. The 500 hp all-wheel drive tractor unit will win over potential customers with its industry-tailored configuration: approval for use as an agricultural or forestry tractor unit, load-sensing hydraulic system on the PTO on the flywheel side, various trailer couplings and wide, soil-friendly agricultural tyres (445/65R22.5 at the front and 600/50R22.5 at the rear). The advantage of the MAN agricultural semitrailer tractor concept lies in the combined street and field use as well as the fact that it can be used all year round. Once farming operations and harvest time have come to an end, you need only exchange the semitrailer and the tyres to be able to use this MAN truck for construction transportation and as a snow-plough vehicle during the winter. Reminiscing about days gone by: tractor production ended at MAN in 1963. The MAN TGS 18500 4x4 BL trade fair exhibit bears the original MAN green (MAN-GRUEN - M107) paint and light ivory-coloured rims that were typical of MAN tractors. .

kscarbel2 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Agritechnica: MAN Engines Presenting Global Innovations for Agricultural Machinery and Cogeneration MAN Truck & Bus Press Release / August 4, 2017 Newly developed 9 litre class diesel engine for tractors and harvesters; new gas engine based on E32 bridges performance gap in cogeneration engines At Agritechnica 2017 – the largest agricultural equipment trade fair in the world hosted in Hanover, Germany – MAN Engines will be presenting a diesel engine with nine-litre displacement to the international public for the first time. From the outset, the straight-six engine was designed and constructed as a completely new conception, especially for off-road uses. This allows the latest unit in MAN Engines’ portfolio to close a gap in performance between the existing D08 and D26 engine series. Conventional applications for the 9 litre unit are agricultural, such as in tractors or harvesters. For the first time, MAN Engines is also exhibiting an E32 series-based gas engine with 450 kWmech. The twelve-cylinder gas engine achieves this performance level in 50 Hz operation at 1,500 rpm, as well as in the 60 Hz variant at 1,800 rpm. The E3262 LE2x2 is designed for operation with biogas or special gases. The possible applications also include the very wide field of cogeneration for the industrial, commercial, municipal and leisure sectors. This also sees MAN Engines bridge a gap in the existing range of gas engines. At the same time, customers will receive a modern unit with improved efficiency levels. Both new products can be viewed at Agritechnica between 12 and 18 November at the exhibition centre in Hanover at the MAN Truck & Bus booth (C45 in Hall 16). .

The MAN concept is in the same vein as the Mercedes-Benz Arocs agricultural variant. https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33484-mercedes-benz-introduces-agricultural-variant-of-“arocs”-tractor/ The KrAZ, and of course the Unimog, do. https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50199-kraz-gets-gold-medal-at-agro-2017/#comment-372462 https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47208-the-mercedes-benz-unimog-is-turning-70/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
