As tractor speeds across Europe rise and 60kph gearboxes become
more common, tractors are having to get better at braking too.
ABS, which has been standard on cars for several years, is
increasingly being seen as a way for tractors to improve their
stopping ability, too.
Fast tractors like the
JCB
Fastrac have had ABS for a while but
Case IH and
New Holland are now offering what they claim is the first
regular tractors to offer air-powered ABS.
The in-house system uses the existing hydraulic system to run a
compressor to operate the ABS. Independent wheel braking is
retained to allow the tractors to turn quickly on headlands
too.
