LAMBORGHINI introduces the R2 series, a range of versatile and multi-function tractors that are perfect for performing many varied tasks in a wide range of applications.
The range comprises the R2 60, 80 and 90, with each powered by the new SDF TIER III engines that are fully compatible with the use of bio-fuels (B100):

R2 60 3-cylinder turbo 62hp
R2 80 3 –cylinder turbo intercooler 82hp
R2 90 4-cylinder turbo intercooler 85hp

With an electronically regulated single injection pump system for each cylinder, the new engines ensure high performance with low fuel consumption - the engine control unit regulates the injection in respect of load and speed and helps to lower fuel consumption.

The R2 series stands out immediately due to its innovative look which features a one-piece tilting bonnet and a modern all-glass cab with four pillars. Operator visibility is outstanding and the overall construction of the cab is such that a very comfortable working environment is created.

In addition, the LAMBORGHINI offer a generous volume of standard equipment that enhances the R2’s role as a versatile tractor, suited to multiple applications in the field and the farmyard.

In the transmission, there is a five-speed synchronized gearbox for the three ranges with the option of a three-speed under-load powershift. There is also Overspeed, an electronic system which enables the tractor to reach a speed of 40 km/h even with the engine running at an economical rpm.

The R2 90 model is also available with Overboost, an electronic device that allows the engine, if necessary, to increase its output when additional power and torque is required. For all models equipped with hydraulic shuttle, the LAMBORGHINI R2 series offers the Stop & Go power shuttle which, through the management of an electronic control unit, allows the operator to stop the tractor simply by using the brakes, without having to use the clutch pedal. This is ideal for loader applications and working in the close confines around the farm.

And finally, the R2 is available with a high-visibility roof, helping to ensure an even higher quality of work when performing farmyard jobs requiring the use of a front loader.
