FPT Industrial and Lindner to Conquer Steep Inclines

FPT Industrial has been chosen by the Lindner tractor company as the engine supplier for its new Lintrac 160 LDrive, the most powerful tractor in its history. FPT Industrial‘s 4.5-liter engine, boasting 129 kW at 1,800 rpm and a torque of 700 Nm at 1,500 rpm, will allow the Lintrac 160 LDrive to easily handle the typical operating context of Lindner tractors: mountainous scenarios with steep slopes.

A brief historical summary about the Austrian OEM

Founded in 1948 and based in Tyrol, Austria, Lindner is a family-owned company specializing in the development and production of tractors for Alpine and various other agricultural applications.

The Lintrac 160 LDrive was developed for farms that need plenty of power combined with maximum comfort and revolutionary maneuverability. Typical applications include work with combination balers, arable and row-crop farming, contract work, and maintenance tasks. In addition, the Lintrac 160 LDrive has been tailored for year-round municipal use. Four-wheel steering makes the Lintrac 160 LDrive the most maneuverable tractor in its hp class.

FPT & Lindner Matching

Lindner chose FPT Industrial´s N45 engine because it is the perfect fit for the new Lintrac 160 LDrive, designed to operate in high-altitude environments and on steep terrain. Among the winning features of the engine which perfectly suit the missions of the new Lintrac 160 LDrive are its lean design and compact dimensions, paired with impressive power and torque. Not to mention the engine´s proven reliability, a key factor when it comes to demanding field operations.

The FPT Industrial NEF family, as market leader in the powertrain sector, is the best choice for the most demanding missions of agricultural equipment, and is testament to the brand’s technological excellence. Since 2001, over two million of these engines have been manufactured for a range of applications: agriculture, construction equipment, on-road, marine and power generation.
