Anyone running one and how are they getting on ?


Looks like the powershuttle is on the way!

just ordered my self a brand new forterra 135 on friday. cant wait to get my hands on it

 

[Renze]

New Forterra 140 has also engine EURO IIIB, clutch button on the gearshift lever, more lift capacity - 7000 kg and is 20 cm longer

I used Google translate again, and Zetor PL website is also speaking of 30/30 transmission: So indeed 5 speeds. That extra take-off speed makes up for the lower clutch release torque (at 1000 engine rpm) that all modern low emission engines have, even though it is already quite improved with the 16 valve engine. All brands suffer from decreased low end torque with their new TIER 3B models, especially when DPF/DOC route is chosen over the urea (SCR) solution..

20cm of wheelbase, thats quite a stretch ! That would allmost make the length of two extra cylinders... ?? ...Or the build space to beef up the entire driveline for future 6 cylinder engines... If building their own transmission up to the 210hp their 6.2 six pot is capable of, is economically feasible for them, it would give them the best long term revenues (spare parts)

Got some confirmation from an undisclosed source:

-7000kg lift force, two external lift rams
-powershuttle
-5th gear
-10cm more wheelbase
-a first prototype with cab suspension is working
-not sure if the type designation remains Forterra 140
-on sale from 01-01-2012 with TIER 3B engine with soot filter, NO adblue.

And the other news : The Maxterra will not be on sale untill 01-01-2014 when the TIER 4 final emission stage is active.

Zetor asks design engineers for transmission development, per 1-1-2012:
Link broken
combined with yet another delay of the Maxterra, perhaps Zetor WILL develop their own transmission ??

Would you think that the new 140 is a 6 cylinder with the longer wheel base. Do all the Forterras have ground speed PTO as mentioned in the Profi test

 

[Renze]

No, the 140 is still the 4 cylinder, just the wheelbase is 10cm longer because a powerhuttle pack, and a 5th gear is installed.

The wheelbase increase is a good thing because i found the 11441 quite jumpy on the road. Too much weight and power on this short wheelbase. It does give the advantage of a turning radius of a 80hp class tractor, with 120hp though...

Back to the original question....

I been running a 124 for 4 years and find it a well balanced unit for lugging and manouverability. Fairly steep land here and traction is brill. was ploughing alongside a JD 7530 last spring, both on 4x14"reversables and JD was in my way goin up the hills untill eventualy he burried it, once he got out the way the Zetor ploughed on up the hill no prob.

Had a test on the 135 and seemed to have noticably more torque below 1500 revs than my 124.

Anyone heard what was launched at Agritechnica, Forterra 140 ?

Did a google search but found nothing.

However, you can compare to the Forterra behind it: The hood is not just 10cm longer, but also 5 t 7cm higher (compare it to the dashboard in the cab)

 

[dhi77]

Saw on their facebook page they didn't have a stand at Agritechnica this year.

 

[Renze]

Its Mitrenga showing the first details again ?? He also had the first 11441 photos in the Net..

Looking at that photo, it seems that they already wasted a turbo on the test stand: a quick-fix oil hose is clamped to feed oil to the turbo, and its greasy around it

Tip for Zetor : Test those EGR coolers very well: John Deere had them leaking every 2000 hrs... Customers see white smoke and get very angry because they think they blew a head gasket again.. Lucklily they cured both the head gaskets and EGR cooler issues now
Also important is that the "low coolant level" indicator light flashes up WAY before air enters the coolant system: When 80 degree coolant fluid gushes over a red hot, and dry, EGR cooler, it will crack. Customers will be angry when they already have EGR cooler damage as soon as the light flashes...

You can see the hood extension here..

and soot filter.

I still think the 24" front wheels are out of proportion with this nose..

Now i have a new forterra 135 parked along my 11441 man what a beast of a machine. incredible torque in the 16 valve engine i love it

Many happy hours in your new workhorse there Forterra man

Did your 11441 have the TIER 2 engine ? those were a bit lame... TIER 3A 125 was better, and 16V 135 is best

 

[forterra9641]

yes it has the tier 2 engine. dead below 1500 rpm very good over 1500 rpm. The 123 just goes away like a rocket on a push of the throttle its a beast

Good Stuff Forterra 11441 enjoy!!
