Argo Tractors Ireland is set to make a comeback to the National Ploughing Championships next week, with the firm set to showcase six tractors within the Landini range.

On display will be the 5-120 Robo 3, the 6-135H and the 6-145 RS, all coming fitted with a front-end loader. It will also showcase the 7-165, the 7-180 and the 7-230 – all equipped with the new Landini Smart Cab.

Argo Tractors Ireland is using the Ploughing as a platform to showcase the new Smart Cab to the wider public for the first time. The roomier Smart Cab is available on the 7 Series tractors. It benefits from more headroom and gains an improved finish and ergonomics of the controls. For those looking for more comfort, the standard mechanical cab suspension can be upgraded for a new semi-active cab suspension system. Inside, there is 14% more volume, resulting in an increased headroom height of 76mm. Visibility has also been improved, with a 14% more glass coverage. There is an additional 120mm of seat travel.

The Smart Cab claims to be a quieter working environment. To the rear there is now a larger window, new rear mirrors and a new fender design, with new LED lights and fender controls for the rear PTO and lift, a s well as hydraulic services.

Its standard 12” Data Screen Manager (DSM) Plus touchscreen monitor is now paired with a second 12” digital dashboard with encoder control. The second screen is located centrally in front of the driver, where the traditional tractor dash is placed. This duo integrates Landini’s own newly developed in-house suite of management software for in-field operations and remote diagnostics.

These two new displays appear in a crisper, tablet like display, rather than previous versions which were perhaps perceived as being that bit chunkier. The manufacturer has now incorporated the GPS receiver into the cab roof, rather than it being externally mounted.

The Clever Cab’s four speaker Alpine audio system, is now compatible with Apple Car Play and Android Auto, completes the picture.
