Tractor heritage, news and features

Infinite adjustment

The new option not only makes shifting gear even easier, says the company, but also allows infinite speed adjustment from standstill without requiring changes in engine rpm, and means the tractor can be controlled via a single pedal, eliminating the need to juggle clutch, brake and throttle.

That makes the tractor far easier to manoeuvre for novice operators, drivers who dislike lots of clutching, or simply those tackling long, demanding jobs requiring multiple forward/reverse changes, such as front-end loader work, yard manoeuvring, or end-of-row field turns. As such, it helps prolong clutch life on tractors carrying out these sorts of tasks.

Other aspects of the L4100 remain unchanged, with power sourced from a Kubota E-TVCS (Three Vortex Combustion System) indirect injection diesel engine, producing 41.6hp, and 34.5hp at the PTO. Fuel capacity is 42L.

In addition, standard specification includes four wheel drive, wet inboard disc brakes and a differential lock. At the rear is a 1,300kg capacity linkage with optional draft control, hydraulic live independent PTO, trailer tipping pipe and auxiliary hydraulic valves.

The HST hydrostatic option adds £1300 + VAT to the £14,700 + VAT price of the standard tractor.
