December 2014 | Back

Countdown to the debut on the Italian and foreign market of the latest model created by Goldoni, the “Q-110” model with 102 horsepower, with a motorized Turbo Intercooler VM meeting the requirements of the new European legislation on pollutants (Step IIIB), which will come into force in the coming months. As announced by the company from Migliarina di Carpi (Modena) at EIMA International – the “Q-110” was officially premiered during the Bologna show – the marketing of the new specialist will start from the early months of 2015. “Although the sector is going through a turbulent period, in Italy and abroad – the company said in a statement – we wanted to raise the competitive bar by launching what we consider as one of our most innovative products for working in orchards and vineyards. The Q-110 not only gathers all the experience of the Quasar series, but it brings for the first time the Goldoni brand beyond 100 horsespower”. But power is not the only strength of the Q-110, which is also notable for its transmission (strictly mechanical) 24+12 with mechanical micro-reducer and inverter insertable on all gears; for a variable speed from 400 metres/hour (for the harvesting of hazelnuts) to 40 Km/h for transfers on the road; for the double-pump braking system that ensures safe braking. Winning technical solutions that join a high capacity hydraulic system (100 litres/minute thanks to the three pumps) and a Joystick command for managing the electro-distributors. “Compared to the other models - the company states - with the Q-100 two things have not changed: the agility between the rows and the balanced “weight distribution” between the front and rear axles, allowing the tractor to offer a performance similar to those of a crawler.”
