Snapshot: The Ferrari Thor Tractor is available in three models 70, 80, or 90 horsepower; articulated or front steering, mono-directional or reversible. All are equipped with 32 speed fully synchronized transmission, power steering, four wheel drive and iso diametric wheels.

Description of the Ferrari Thor: Ferrari produces tractors characterized by unique features, exceptional performance, safety and comfort. All components are designed by Ferrari and produced in our factory under strict quality control standards. Ferrari Tractors are at the top of their class combining quality and reliability with optimal operating costs.

Safety and Comfort: Our tractors are tested by independent authorities to ensure their safety. In additions they are easy to operate and very comfortable, minimizing driver stress.

Protecting the Environment: Ferrari is actively working to protect our environment in a variety of ways. We use recyclable material where possible and modern, ecologically friendly production methods. Ferrari tractors are designed to reduce noise pollution and are equipped with emission controlled engines that reduce smoke and toxic exhaust emissions.

Unique Features: Thor 70, 80 and 90 are tractors equipped with equal size wheels, which are compact and agile with strength and reliablity. They are available in articulated "AR" and rigid "RS" (front wheel steering) versions. The special MT versions are odeal for hay making in mountainous regions. With a low profile and exceptional stability THOR tractors have been designed specifically for use in vineyards, orchards, greenhouses and in the mountains. They are ideal for special crops where other tractors are too large or too heavy while being equally adapted for maintenance work in cities and green areas. The comfortable driving position, the ergonomically positioned control and the practical, easy to read instrumentation make working with this tractor a pleasure.

Ease of maintenance built in: The hood is a single unit and opens from the front to permit easy access to the engine even with front implements and/or front weights attached. The air filter is located out of the way under the fixed part of the hood to avoid damage. It is easily accessible and does not stick out so that the hood is smooth with nothing to catch on branches or foliage.

Modern, Powerful emission controlled engines: The VM series 700, water cooled, diesel engines mounted in the THOR tractors are reliable, environmentally considerate and comply with the latest exhaust emission limits (EC, CARB and EPA). High output and High torque at low rpm with a low noise level and imperceptible vibration contribute to the joy of using a THOR. Not to mention the low fuel consumption and sevice and spare parts availability world-wide through the Detroit Diesel organization. The exhaust muffler is located below the engine protected by the frame. This keeps the exhaust fumes away from the operator and reduces the risk of accidental burns. In addition there is nothing to catch branches or foliage. A large radiator with the "air-box" design keeps the engine cool even inder the toughest conditions. The "air-box" is part of the new hood and assures that the radiator remains clean even in dusty conditions.

Ease of Maintenance is Built-in: The hood is a single unit and opens from the front to permit easy access to the engine even with front omplements and/or front weights attached. The air filter is located under the fixed part of the hood out of the way to avoid damage. It is easily accessible and does not protrude, so that the hood is smooth with nothing protruding to catch branches or foliage.

Flexibility with the 32-speed transmission: The Thor series has a fully synchronized transmission with 32-speeds (15FWD and 16 REV) and a synchronized reversing gear. The gears are helicoidal for quiet running and long life.

The gear ratios are optimized to provide the correct speed for any type of job.

The clutch of THOR tractors is a multi-disc wet type in an oil bath. It is hydraulically operated and requires very low force reducing driver fatigue and assuring smooth and gradual insertion. It is centrally located to reduce the length of the tractor. The front and rear differential locks have electro-hydraulic control. The transmission is mounted inside the chassis providing high fround clearance and very low center of gravity for utmost stability under all conditions. The final drives are epicyclic type reducing the wiidth of the tractor. They do not need maintenance.

The Swinging Chassis: THOR tractors with their equal size wheels have a short wheelbase, equal weight distribution and a tight turning radius making them extremely maneuverable on all types of ground.

The central pivoting point allows the front end of the tractor to swing more than 15 degrees in relation to the rear end so that the tractor can follow the irregularities of the ground while maintaining full stability and traction.

Comfortable Driving Position: The comfortable driving position, the ergonomically positioned controls and the practical, easy to read instrumentation let you work without fatigue. The reversible driving position, which is avaliable in some models, greatly increases the utility of the tractor. The complete driving unit (seat, steering wheel, dashboard) can be reversed in just 5 seconds without having to remove any connections. Pedals are duplicated so there is nothing to be done except shift the seat, which is automatically held in position, and turn the unit. All cables and hydraulic pipes are out of sight. The hand brake is designed to be easily operated from both directions.

The Steering: THOR tractors with their short wheelbase and a tight turning radius are particularly suitable when space is tight and precise and accurate maneuvering is required. Steering is power assisted and features twin hydraulic cylinders to assure accurate control even with wide track and large tires such as are used with the MT versions for hay making in mountainous areas.

The articulated models have hydraulic cylinders with limited travel and a steering angle of 4 degrees more than previus models. the hydraulic steering circuit is independent with a dedicated hydraulic pump.

Power Lift and Hydraulic connections: The rear hydraulic power lift on THOR tractors uses two (2) hydraulic rams and has a class 1 or 2 three-point linkage. A dual purpose control valve regulates the sink rate and when closed completely prevents implements from sinking during transport.

Hydraulic lift position and draft control is optionally available. Dual, indepent hydraulic circuits each with a dedicated pump, one for the steering and one for the hydraulic lift and accessories with the possibility to install up to 6 hydraulic connections. This division provides quicker lifting even at low wngine rpm and limited temperature rise in heavy use. Independent filters without by-pass but with blovkage alarm prevent dirt from entering the hydraulic circuit. Optional front lift with hydraulic connections for front implements.

Power Take Off: The THOR series has an independent PTO turning at 540/1000 rpm with a brake to prevent it turning when not inserted. The PTO is synchronized and proportional to all the transmission speeds. The multi-disc wet clutch in an oil bath is electro-hydraulically controlled reducing the wear and eliminating any need for adjustment. It provides smooth and gradual engagement. The PTO is licated at the top of the transmission so that the universal joint connection is nearly horizontal reducing the stress on the universal joint and PTO shaft.

Braking System: The multi-disc braked in an oil bath are mechanically operated needing no adjustment while ensuring the utmost safety and reliablity.

Protective Roll Bar and Cabins: The Protective roll bar of the THOR tractors is approved according to the stringent European norms. IT can be easily folded down to allow the tractors to work under low plants.

The optional cabins have been designed with rounded corners and without protusions so that they can be used in narrow places without damaging the plants. The cabins are mounted on silent blocks for easy removal and have air filtration with large filters. Active charcoal filters, air conditioning and other options are available for special applications and to increase operator comfort under all kinds of conditions.

A four post safety frame (R.O.P.S.) with front and rear windows and a roof is standard with the MT tractors. A special low profile cabin (170 cm) is available for the FR versions without reversible driving position.

A Wide Choice of Tire Sizes: Ferrari offers a wide choice of tires and rims of variable track width for THOR tractros to meet your requirements.
