December 2015 | Back

Compact size (just 2,300 mm wide and 3,040 maximum height); performance of the highest level as a result of the 4-cylinder turbo intercooled common rail FPT 4 final 170 hp engine that significantly reduces fuel consumption compared to previous generation engines; high yield loading system, with a vigorous hydrostatic motor, a large capacity cutter (the width is 2,000 mm) and a 800 mm load channel in line with the size of the larger series. These are the strengths of the Faresin self-propelled mixers in the Leader Double Compact range. They are available in the Ecomix and Ecomode versions, are offered by the Venetian stable with capacities of 12, 14 and 16 m3, and a software programmed to cut fuel consumption also during desilaging and mixing, thanks to an optimal engine rpm management. Going into the details of the line, the Ecomode models distinguish themselves for a hydrostatic transmission with two electronically controled hydrostatic motors, calable of reaching road speeds of 40 km/h at just 1,800 rpm, with considerable fuel savings (20%, as reported by the manufacturer). The Ecomode are equipped with front and rear hydro-pneumatic suspension, adjustable directly from the cab, designed to provide the operator with maximum comfort, and with anti-skid and traction control devices (four-wheel drive). The extensive standard equipment of the Ecomode Leader Double Compacts is completed by three different steering systems.
