The Strike: Fielding the tough challenges of modern farming

Agro Napló
The Lamborghini Strike mid-power range is being updated with seven new models in the three different versions: LD, MD and HD.

The LD models have a compact wheelbase and their weight is spread evenly between the front and rear of the vehicle. This combination makes them ideal for light-duty work, which they tackle with maximum efficiency. The MD version offers the perfect balance between weight and power, which enables it to operate with maximum manoeuvrability and put in a top performance whatever work it is used for – from minimum tillage and hay-making to seeding drilling.. The HD version, which boasts an especially high load-bearing capacity, has a formidable structure so that it can work in conditions of varying tractive force and load capacity. The models in the Strike HD range are robust and perfect for traction work in the open field.

The new and improved Strikes are equipped with a 3- or 4-cylinder FARMotion engine (2887 cc and 3849 cc respectively). Having been designed specifically for agricultural use, these engines are flexible and tireless, capable of delivering full power and maximum useful torque in traction work such as ploughing, tillage and heavy transport. The special geometry of the intake manifolds, a high-pressure common rail injection system (2000 bar) and 7-hole injectors serve to optimise diesel mixing and atomisation while increasing production and considerably improving consumption. To protect the environment, Strike tractors are equipped with SCR technology, which is the most efficient way of ensuring conformity with Stage 4 (Tier4 Final) emission standards. For the Strike 80 model, the system for treating particulate and nitric oxide (NOx) is guaranteed by a DOC catalytic converter that adjusts emission levels in line with Stage 4 regulations (Tier4 Final). The PowerCore air filtering system boasts a longer filter service life and a high filtering efficiency, and also introduces clean air into the combustion process. The technological innovations in the form of the viscostatic fan and a larger oil radiator allow the engine to deliver all of its enormous power in any conditions.

The range of different transmissions used in the Lamborghini Strike models is vast, and they all are capable of adapting their speed to suit a wide variety of agricultural operations: From soil preparation to harvesting, from planting to hay-making, and from general farmyard tasks to road transport. All the speeds are overlapping, adjusting the engine torque based on the different jobs. The 4-speed (8+8, 16+16 or 32+32) or 5-speed (10+10, 20+20, or 40+40) transmissions, with or without Hi-Lo, and a more advanced 5-speed transmission with 3-stage Powershift (30+30 or 60+60) make gear changes smooth and gradual, while at the same time reducing consumption thanks to a road speed of 40 km/h at economical engine speeds. All the transmissions are available in the LS version with a mechanical reverse shuttle or the GS version with a hydraulic reverse shuttle, Stop&Go system and Comfort Clutch.

The hydraulic systems have been designed to unlock the full potential of the Strike range: Single or dual-pump systems with flow rates of 55, 60 or 90 l/min; up to eight rear outlets; a powerful and precise rear lift available in mechanical or electrohydraulic variants, which has a lifting capacity that varies from model to model but is as high as 5400 kg in the most powerful HD model; SDD quick steering system and a servo-assisted braking system on all  four wheels. A special feature of the hydraulic system is the "on demand" 90 l/min system paired with high-flow rear distributors (available for HD models). This system consists of a dual pump: The main pump is always active, while the secondary pump is activated directly by the operator only when full hydraulic power is required – even at low engine speeds, such as when using a front loader. The lift controls are duplicated by two buttons on the rear mudguards.

The Strike range is distinguished by its original and dynamic design, embodied in its black and white colouring, the contour of the cab roof, its low, aggressive profile and the rounded bodywork, all of which come together to create a unique and exciting style. The design has also been conceived to make the controls as easy to use and as intuitive as possible in order to make day-to-day work comfortable, whether in the field or on the road.

The cab is spacious and comfortable: The new rear "Hydro Silent-Block" cab suspension silent-blocks drastically reduce vibrations – by as much as 40% compared with traditional silent-blocks – as well as reducing external noise.. Thanks to the high degree of sound-proofing and the effective air conditioning of the interior, Strike tractors offer the level of comfort you would expect from a Lamborghini. Finishing the interiors with exclusive materials makes Strike models extremely comfortable. The ergonomic design of the controls, which are grouped and positioned to ensure that the tractor and its implements can be controlled quickly and easily, puts the operator at the centre of the action. The large tinted windows with convex panes provide an optimum view and therefore guarantee maximum control on all four sides, including critical areas. Thanks to the high visibility cab roof, even operations with the front loader can be carried out without ever losing sight of the ends of the loader boom. For working at night and for maximum driving safety on the road, up to six work lights on the front, two worklights on the middle cab pillar, two lights at the front of the cab and four lights at the rear of the cab are available.
