Looking at the new NEXOS specialist tractors, you are immediately struck by the updated design. The new contemporary look features the signature ‘Y’ design first launched in 2019 in the current LEXION and also seen in the TRION. Its distinctive contours give the bonnet a dynamic appearance as well as providing additional stiffness. The redesigned cab roof merges seamlessly with the sleek lines of the Y,
while the flattened shape of the bonnet enhances the driver’s view to the front. Further refinements to the carefully considered overall design have allowed the mounting point for mid-mounted implements to be optimised and integrated seamlessly into the machine, enabling access for an even greater range of attached implements.
Restructured model series: Two additional variants and a new top-of-the-range model
The bonnet now sports new names. The NEXOS VE, VL and F with widths of 1.0 m, 1.25 m and 1.45 m have been replaced respectively by the S, M and L model series with the same external widths. New additions to the range are the NEXOS XL with an external width of 1.55 m plus the narrower 1.25 m NEXOS MD and 1.45 m NEXOS LD platform series for orchards. The NEXOS MD and LD are only available without a cab, while a cab is optionally available for the NEXOS L and XL.
A new top-of-the-range NEXOS 260 cab model is also available for the NEXOS S, M, L and XL series – currently one of the most powerful narrow-gauge tractors on the market. There are five models to choose from in the NEXOS S, M and L series with a maximum engine output ranging from 75 to 120 hp (NEXOS XL: four types from 85 to 120 hp). The NEXOS MD and NEXOS LD each feature four models ranging from 75 to 103 hp.
The new 3.6 l four-cylinder FPT engine has a Stage V SCR exhaust gas aftertreatment system and also features a 600-hour oil change interval. With a maximum volume of 100 l (NEXOS S: 75 l), there’s enough fuel for any job and for long working days.
New transmission variants with ECO rpm
The comfort and efficiency of the familiar powershift transmission has been refined in the new NEXOS models and now includes five gears in three ranges. The two TWINSHIFT powershift speeds provide 30 forward and 15 reverse gears and 30 reverse gears with the mechanical reverser. In the 40km/h ECO version, the top speed is achieved at a fuel-efficient and low-noise 1,700 rpm, which is unprecedented in this class of tractor. When it comes to changing direction, as before purchasers can choose between a mechanical reverser or the convenient hydraulic REVERSHIFT reverser.
New cab with improved ergonomics
On stepping into the six-pillar cab suspended on silent blocks, you’re immediately struck by the flat cab floor which maximises legroom and makes it easy to get in and out. Particular attention has been paid to redesigning the work area to the right of the driver, which now feels more streamlined. Take the short shift lever, for example, which enables faster and more accurate gear changes and makes it easier to enter and exit the cab from the right-hand door.
The Category 4 cab filter system (compliant with EN 15695), fully integrated into the roof, protects the driver from dust, harmful aerosols and vapours during crop spraying operations. The carefully sealed cab prevents the entry of harmful substances and reduces the noise level, providing twofold protection for the driver.
The reconfigured roof can be factory-fitted with up to eight additional work lights, and there is now a choice of LED lights as well as halogen. The top spec NEXOS with the premium LED lighting package turns night into day whatever and wherever the job.
