More power, greater comfort and a major upgrade in driver technology are the key benefits delivered by Kellands’ new MULTIDRIVE M380-4 claim the company.
The biggest change is under the hood where a 225hp Cummins diesel engine delivers a 17% boost in power, a 20% increase in torque and a reduction in fuel consumption of around 8%. Fully compliant with European Tier-4 / Stage IV legislation the new engine will slash emissions by around 90%.
Key new features include:
• Hydraulic cab mounting system with enhanced soundproofing and insulation, improves the working environment by reducing noise by 5dB, lowering vibration and increasing operator comfort.
• Innovative control console with a floating armrest which moves with the position of the seat to deliver the best in comfort and precision.
• Offset steering mode, which delivers better traction and precise control when working on hillsides.
• Multi-functional on-board computer systems and a high-visibility full-colour display with real-time performance and diagnostic information at a glance.
• Joystick with easy-access thumb controls to enable operators to make a smooth changeover between manual and automatic transmission and gives precise control over rear axle steering, cruise control and implements.
• Improved rear steering and a major increase in engine torque deliver best-in-class traction.
Capable of carrying a 10-tonne load such as a 5,000-litre sprayer unit or an 8-tonne spreader hopper, the machine can also haul an additional 18-tonne load at 50 km/h.
Kellands also offers the new Multidrive 380 and 420XT machines which have been designed to meet the needs of controlled traffic farming (CTF) systems. Models are available in 3.8m and 4.2m wheel base options and feature wider width axles that allow users to set track widths from between 2.2m to 3.0m to match individual requirements.
