Additions to range of Hattat tractors built in Turkey
New tractors from 50 to 110 horse power are added to the Hattat range of Turkish-built machines in Ireland by Billy O’Dwyer Farm Machinery, Thurles, Co Tipperary, .
The newcomers include the 240S, a Turkish tractor bearing a striking resemblance to Massey Ferguson’s 240.
Also new is the four-model Hattat T4000 series of tractors, a modern-looking range with a new cab and bonnet design.
The Hattat T4000 range retains many of the ‘mechanical’ features and functions favoured by certain sectors of the farming community.
These are combined with “fancier” features such as air-conditioning, ECO-540rpm PTO, and 40kph transmission.
There is a high level of finish, including front roof lights, and extendable mirrors,.
In the T4000 series, Perkins T3A, 1104D-44T/A engines provide the horse-power ranging from 82hp to 110hp.
Power is transmitted by either 12x12 transmissions in the smaller models, or 24x24 transmissions in the larger models.
A mechanical shuttle lever is mounted on the dash under the steering wheel.
A dry dual-clutch is used for transmission and PTO functions.
Hattat’s Hi-Shift electrical control allows for switch- operation of PTO function.
Similarly, a Hi-Shift button on the gear levers allow gear changes to be made on the go without depressing the clutch pedal.
Among the standard equipment specifications is electric operation of four-wheel-drive and differential-lock plus electronic lift control.
Standard equipment includes four double-acting spool valves, a hydraulic top-link, and hydraulic self-levelling of the RH-drop arm.
A Dromone hitch completes the package.
The Hattat 240S tractor is produced under licence in Turkey. Referring to its many similarities with the Massey Ferguson 240, Billy O’Dwyer says, “The dream of red continues!”
Under the hood is a 50 horse power, British-built three-cylinder Perkins 1103D-33, T3A engine. The tractor has fully hydrostatic steering, with a ‘balanced’ hydraulic steering mounted in the centre of the front axle beam, which gives equal lock-to-lock steering.
The rear transaxle is derived from the Massey Ferguson 390, according to Billy, and features four-disc, oil-immersed wet brakes.
The gears are eight forward and two reverse, with partial synchromesh on the higher gears.
Two double acting spool valves are standard, as is an anti-roll bar.
Available as an option is a Walsh cab manufactured in Co Kerry, and the Hattat 240S can be specified without a pick-up hitch if required.
From his base at Castletown, Moyne, Co Tipperary, Billy O’Dwyer is handling the range of Hattat tractors in Ireland and potentially in the UK as well.
He is actively seeking dealers throughout the UK and Ireland (more information at (www.billyodwyerfarmmachinery.ie).
