Hey all. This has happened again. Unfortunately the machinist forgot to make the couplers longer. Unsure how many hours it lasted, running pto stuff doesn't appear cause damage, but I could hear the screechy noise in 3rd, so I just avoided that gear. Unfortunately, the slightly lower pitched...

Heya, I need some advice on clearances for fabbing up some parts to repair my 80s Antonio Carraro Tigre 2700. TLDR : I think the engine-to-tranny shaft is too short (bad repair? looks welded) and the couplers wear out because they're only working with ~1cm (less when the tractor flexes)...

And we have a winner

Yes still a good upgrade for almost no money at all! I've only done a quick run around but it defeats most hills just fine! The steering is Broa assisted though.... Harder to make tight corners than the small tractor as the circle is a bit wider, but I'll get used to it. One obvious thing is how...

Actually should I make another thread for posting about the tractor or questions? This one's fulfilled. Might help someone looking to buy one of these since there's hardly any info. What'd be the right section?

It's a Ruggerini RD220. Couldn't find info on it but found a slightly smaller RD211 rated at 17Kw, so I suppose it's just short of 25hp. http://www.lombardini.no/ruggerini/Datablad/RD_211_uk.pdf I also just found it might actually have two PTO speeds :unsure: or maybe it's an option not sure...

Ahah thanks, toy is not far fetched either :D I haven't, but I'll have a look at it to double check, I thought the papers would be accurate.

Well, here it is!! It's actually 16.5Kw on the documents, just over 22, not 26 or 27 or 28!! I still wonder where from and why people pull these inflated figures, up to 25% more for compacts I've found. Regardless it's still a good improvement for me % wise. 5000 euros delivered with a 120cm...

Well, after a couple failed negotiation attempts where dealer refused to budge, managed to get a barely used rotary cutter thrown in the for the 5k, without buyback. I didn't want to float the money, but can't bear trading it in for 3k. Annoyingly, I need to go down there again for payment and...

Well I'm back from the visit. I'm...a bit unsure. It was alright but not love at first sight kind of thing. It started on the button, clean engine, no big crashes, but it's a bit dated and felt a bit sloppy/stuck accelerator wise, probably just needs a refresh. The width is 110cm, perfect, and...

Many thanks! That definitely Thanks for the help searching and for the assurance, that's good to hear! I'll make sure to ask about the rops, I had been meaning to weld one up for my current one but was told it needs to be certified (does make sense, otherwise I could do a bamboo one).

Thanks, that's what I found too...7hp is a big % for these, seller actually said 28 dunno where I got 27 from. But good point the docs will have the rating. If 20hp not sure if it's a valuable upgrade, I know my op was even less, but it's supposedly much heavier, and for the extra price it...

Errrr, by the way. I'm going to see the tractor tomorrow, but I really can't find any specs for this model, and I don't know if I should trust the dealers "27hp" number, considering carraro don't seem to follow the "hp in model number" thing, and that many tractors I've seen are inflated 5-15...

Yeah if loaded and I press the go pedal smog ensues, but good tip.
