The Landini 6544 ‘large compact’ tractor, which will be launched to the groundscare sector at Saltex, has features and a base specification more often seen on higher horsepower models.

The newcomer is being introduced to complement the existing Compact 40-series models from 28hp to 47hp and bridge the gap to the full size Landini Powerfarm utility model. The Landini 6544’s 2.5-litre Mitsubishi four-cylinder engine develops 57hp and drives through a 32x16 synchro-shuttle transmission with creep ratios included as standard.

For operating implements there is a three-speed pto system that provides 540rpm at standard engine rpm or at a slower speed for greater fuel economy. The 1000rpm setting is suited to more demanding equipment and in all cases the system is engaged at the flick of a switch thanks to the electrohydraulic control.
