FARMotion engines feature state of the art technological solutions, such as 2000 bar common rail injection, 7-hole injectors and a single ancillary belt with automatic tensioner for extraordinarily simple maintenance. Powered by FARMotion engines, the new SAME Krypton F family delivers more performance than ever but with significantly lower fuel consumption. The compact structure and downsized unitary capacity of the 3 cylinder unit, together with an exhaust aftertreatment system that attains Stage III B compliance with just a DOC catalytic converter, allowed the SAME R&D team to design a single piece, tapered cowl offering excellent visibility.

Equipped with a synchronised reverse shuttle, the transmission of the SAME Krypton F offers 12 or 16 forward and reverse speeds. The 12 speed variant features a creeper gear for maximum productivity at very low ground speeds, while the intelligently spaced ratios of the 16 speed variant, which features overdrive as standard, let the driver choose the ideal gear for any situation. The steering clutches and wet disc brakes ensure extraordinary precision and safety when manoeuvring. The PTO, with both the universal 540 rpm speed mode and a 540 ECO mode, comes as standard with an interchangeable output flange shaft and an electrohydraulic multiplate wet clutch.

The new hydraulic system consists of two separate circuits and a dual pump. The 50 l/min pump feeds oil to the 2800 Kg rear lift and the distributors, while the 25 l/min pump actuates the brakes, the steering clutches and the PTO clutch and keeps the transmission lubricated. This solution ensures effortless, precise steering action even with the engine at idle speed. Krypton F tractors are offered as standard with 6 rear couplers (while an additional 4 are available as an option), plus two belly couplers duplicating two at the rear, for maximum productivity when working with pruner attachments, side shoot removers and post drivers. The “push-pull” quick connect hydraulic couplers make connecting lines easier than ever.

For total operator comfort, the platform is suspended on Silent-Block mounts which damp vibration transmitted from the chassis and powertrain, while the modern seat is equipped with an effective mechanically sprung suspension system. On either sides of the seat are two new fuel tanks shaped specifically to prevent fuel starvation even when working on very steep gradients. SAME offers a set of undercowl upgrades to permit installation of an aftermarket cab, consisting of an increased capacity alternator, a compressor for air conditioning, lines for heating and an expanded electrical system with additional wiring harnesses for connecting to the cab.
