Factory-fitted loader integration sets Landini’s Powerfarm II 120 tractor apart and makes it the ideal general purpose unit for Australian farmers
The front-end loader is the most popular tractor attachment for tractors up to 150hp – and for good reason.
It offers great versatility and utility for general purpose tractors around a farm, contracting or public works, assisting with a wide range of materials handling and maintenance tasks.
As farmers rely more on the loader to undertake these tasks, the ergonomics of the loader operation become a major factor in the efficiency of that work and the level of fatigue and errors experienced.
A high level of loader integration with the tractor is the key to improving ergonomics. The new Landini Powerfarm II 120 tractor makes this leap, with superb loader integration directly from the factory.
First, it starts with the loader.
“Three years ago, the Morra family behind Landini tractors acquired the largest Italian loader manufacturer, Sigma4,” Gary Surman, sales and marketing manager at distributor Inlon, says.
“They made Sigma4 the OEM supplier of loaders to Landini.
“With this direct connection to the factory, the Powerfarm II 120 loader is now fitted during the tractor assembly process, ensuring it is fitted as the original engineers intended.
“The integration in the cabin is obvious in the easy-to-reach location and layout on the right-hand side of the driver.
“But it is the extra controls on the loader joystick that lift that integration to the next level.”
The Landini Powerfarm II 120 Cabin model is powered by a 4.4L Perkins Tier 3 diesel engine that offers 110 horsepower (82kw). Its transmission has a hydraulic Power Shuttle main clutch, 36 forward and 12 reverse gears incorporating a HML 3-speed Power Shift, and a top speed of 40km/h.
When manoeuvring the loader, the forward-reverse shuttle control on the steering column is essential, but the Powerfarm II also incorporates HML transmission speed shifting with a press of the thumb on the loader joystick.
Hydraulic third function is operated with the trigger button on the front of the joystick, with optional hydraulic fourth function and hydraulic implement latch and un-latch also available.
For efficient and tireless operation, all the key loader and tractor driving controls are within finger reach of the steering wheel and loader joystick. Visibility is another essential when stacking bales.
The Landini Powerfarm II series has the latest slimline rounded cabin bulkhead, providing the operator with superb visibility when placing bales high in the shed.
The Landini Powerfarm II 120RPS 4WD Cab comes with an integrated level lift loader with quick detach, Euro hitch, soft ride, third function, independent loader valve and joystick plus a 2,000mm four-in-one bucket.
Backed by history
Manufacturer Landini and Australian distributor Inlon both celebrated milestones in 2024.
Landini celebrated its 140th anniversary as a machinery manufacturer. It was 1884 when Giovanni Landini founded Officine Landini, a wine-making machinery factory in Fabbrico, Italy. The first tractor went into production in 1925.
At almost the same time, Australian family business Inlon Pty Ltd also recently celebrated its 40th anniversary.
Established in 1984 by Joe and Lolita Jardim, Inlon first imported, assembled and distributed Universal Farmliner tractors from Romania.
Forty years later, Inlon is a major importer and distributor of 15 brands of farm machinery from South Korea, India and Japan and across Europe – including Landini.
