After two years of successful market presence of the Series 5 DFplatform, Deutz-Fahr is upgrading it, offering additional new high-tech features to increase flexibility, productivity and operator comfort. The 5 DFplatformMY24 models offer a package of options usually only found on the high-spec cab versions.
In addition to fully configurable mechanical parts, which combine simplicity and ease of use with high performance, the Model Year 24 offers a number of new options:
• FAR Motion 35 and 45 engines certified to run on HVO (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil)
• New box with:
• Power Shuttle: change direction without using the clutch
• Sense Clutch: allows adjustment of the response to the change of direction in 5 stages
• Stop & Go: allows the operator to stop the tractor and continue driving using only the brake pedal without controlling the clutch
• Comfort Clutch: allows the clutch to be engaged by pressing a button on the selector.
• 3-stage HML Powershift: 45 forward gears + 45 reverse
• Independent suspension on the front axle with Adaptive-Damping, Active Self-Levelling, Anti-Dive, Anti-Roll and DTC (Differential Traction Control)
• Fully integrated front PTO and front hydraulics with a lifting capacity of 2100 kg
• Electronically controlled rear lift with shock damping system and external rear fender controls
• Rear hydraulic linkage and hydraulic stabilizers adjustable via the external controls on the rear fenders
• Up to 10 rear hydraulic circuits and 4 hydraulic joints in the middle
• Flow divider for simultaneous use of rear lift and hydraulic valves
• Operator's seat with air suspension
• SDF Fleet Management
• The 5 DFplatform family includes five models, with power from 91 to 116 hp.
Various transmission equipment options are available, from a simple 12+12-speed fully manual transmission to the state-of-the-art 45+45-speed transmission with Power Shuttle and 3-speed HML Powershift. The high configurability of the 5 Series DFplatform is also confirmed by the wide range of tire sizes available, which give the tractor different widths and heights.
Depending on tire size, two platform heights are available to better accommodate the wheels, while keeping the tractor height as low as possible (minimum mudguard height is just 1.18m), making the 5 DF tractors ideal for work in citrus orchards, kiwifruit, vineyards, or other tree crops. Regardless of the size, the platform is always suspended on 4 HydroSilent-Blocks. The 5DFPlatform Series also offers excellent operator safety, with a retractable front rollbar, perfect weight distribution, an ideal balance between a low center of gravity and excellent ground clearance, as well as advanced technical solutions such as disc brakes on all 4 wheels.
The new FARMotion 35 and 45 engines maximize the performance of DEUTZ-FAHR 5 DFPlatform tractors. The compact layout of the exhaust aftertreatment system, which is cleverly integrated into the vehicle, has allowed the same external dimensions that made the previous generation so popular with wByriowers and fruit growers around the world to be maintained. In addition to the new technological solutions that contribute to compliance with the StageV emissions standard, power and torque have also increased across the engine range. The FARMotion 35 and 45 engines can now run on alternative fuels as they are officially certified to use HVO (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil). The 5 DFPlatform agricultural tractors are therefore ready to face the challenges of tomorrow's agriculture, such as increasing environmental sustainability by reducing CO2 emissions.
Efficiency, configurability and flexibility were the main objectives of DEUTZ-FAHR engineers when developing the transmissions for the 5 DF series. The configuration options offered range from a 4-speed version with 3 differentials and synchronized reverse, to a 5-speed version with 3 differentials and HML 3-Powershift for a total of 45+45 speeds. While all versions can develop a maximum speed of 40 km/h, the 5-speed versions also feature the OverSpeed function, which allows the tractor to travel at maximum speed on the road at lower, more efficient engine speeds. All versions are standard equipped with a 'creeper' gear option for working at very low ground speeds (from 187 meters per hour) with the engine at full revs.
Offered with 540 rpm and 540 ECO modes, the PTO comes standard with a practical mechanical clutch, while analog electro-hydraulic engagement is available as an option. Also optionally available are 1000rpm functions, vehicle gear programs and extremely practical quick couplers for the various power transmission shafts for easy replacement.
The new 5DFPlatform Series offers excellent configuration possibilities for hydraulic systems. With the double pump hydraulic system up to 68 l/min all kinds of accessories can be used. All versions also come standard with a separate hydraulic circuit for the steering and auxiliary programs for perfectly smooth steering and excellent maneuverability even with the engine idling and while the lift is in operation. Up to 10 rear hydraulic couplers are available with different operating programs and an optional flow regulator. All versions are standard equipped with a free return line for efficient work with accessories with hydraulic motors. 4 additional mid-position hydraulic couplers are available to allow easy attachment of front attachments.
The rear lift has a maximum lifting capacity of up to 3940 kg. For MY24, DEUTZ-FAHR engineers transferred the technology from the 5 DFcab to the platform version: an electronic rear lift system is now available as an option. In addition to a wider adjustability (drop speed, maximum lift height), the electronic rear lift is even easier to use thanks to a lift/lower button. In addition, the electronic rear lift installed on the 5 DF platform has the shock absorption system as standard. This reduces the vibration load, increasing comfort and allowing less stress on the tractor components when driving on the road with mounted equipment.
The front axle has a large maximum steering angle for excellent maneuverability and is standard equipped with liquid disc brakes for superior active safety in all working conditions. The 100% locking differential and 4WD system engage and disengage with the simple push of a button. Something unique in its class: the 5 DFplatform can be equipped with independent front suspension, which increases operator comfort and safety, thanks to Adaptive-Damping, ActiveSelf-Levelling, Anti-Dive and Anti-Roll functions. The independent front axle suspension also features a DTC differential lock, which, combined with Auto 4WD, ensures top-notch traction.
5 DFPlatformMY24 also features CTM connectivity, which unlocks all SDF fleet management functions by transferring all driving information and real-time tractor position to your laptop or smartphone. SAME & DEUTZ-FAHR agricultural machinery is built to perform as well as to last. They offer maximum flexibility with high production capabilities that fully cover large and medium-sized farms.
