The SKH 743 was the highlight at the 50th anniversary event of Sepp Knüsel, the Swiss company that builds the Rigitrac tractors.Set to replace the existing SKH 75-2, the 116hp 3.6l Deutz four-cylinder Stage V engine produces a maximum torque of 460Nm at 1,600rpm. The hydrostatic transmission provides two driving ranges: 0 to 25km/hr and 0 to 40km/hr, and in automatic mode, the tractor reaches a top speed of 40km/hr. PTO speeds are 540rpm (rear) and 1,000rpm (front). With 68l/min hydraulics, lift capacity of the rear and front linkages is 3.1t and 1.8t, respectively. New axles allow tires up to 24 inches. With front-axle, four-wheel and crab steering, the larger steering angle reduces the turning circle.Inside the cab is a multifunctional armrest and joystick. The spec includes an air-sprung driver’s and passenger seat, suspended cab and front axle, automatic climate control, LED lighting and USB ports.
