4 SAME Explorer 30 years a legend, always s The Explorer was the first product of a new trend in tractor design, that in 1983 saw the development of features considered innovative at the time, especially for medium-low horsepower machines. Based on specific demands the market was beginning to make, in terms of performance and comfort, SAME set about designing a brand new tractor, starting from a blank sheet of paper and introducing new engineering designs that had never been used by the competition in this power bracket. All the assemblies making up the tractor were reinvented, taking account of the direction in which farm mechanisation was moving, and the new approach to agriculture generally. The new engines were designed for agricultural use this has always been the SAME philosophy and built in accordance with "modular" principles, even when liquid cooling was introduced. With a dual cooling system designed for the cylinder liners (air at the top, oil at the bottom), and pistons cooled internally by powerful oil jets, it became possible to achieve a more uniform running temperature, which in turn brought the advantage of constant efficiency even when operating under heavy workloads and in high ambient temperatures. The fuel injection system was fitted with individual wet pumps driven by the camshaft, in the interests of simple construction and greater reliability. Timing gears with helically cut teeth were introduced, so as to minimize backlash and reduce noise levels. In keeping with SAME tradition, particular attention was Explorer Year of manufacture focused on operating economy at the design stage, with the aim of achieving low fuel consumption. The engine that emerged was a truly compact unit, bringing the added benefit of a more streamlined hood that would create tighter steering angles for enhanced manoeuvrability, and a better view of the front end. The transmission was no less innovative: smaller gear trains, all helical and arranged on 3 shafts, designed to achieve maximum compactness combined with high mechanical efficiency and minimal vibration, in contrast to conventional gearboxes with just 2 longer shafts and bigger flywheel balancer gears. Forced lubrication would guarantee greater operating safety, even on steep gradients. The power take-off was equipped with an oil-immersed multi-disc clutch (found generally on higher horsepower 4

5 olid and dependable. machines) and an independent output shaft providing ground speed PTO, for drive axle trailers equipped with pick-up or spreader attachments. The new Explorer also had an independent power steering pump, ensuring that the steering wheel could be turned effortlessly even at low engine speeds. The front axle was The powerful hydraulic lift featured the classic SAME control system designed to give maximum traction for tillage and towing applications, even in wet conditions. The driving position and the cab were cleverly futuristic for those times, and especially for medium-low horsepower tractors: flat platform suspended on silent-block mounts, shift levers located to the right of the driver and pendant style pedals... all giving ergonomic advantages comparable to those of much bigger machines. The cab also met the demand for high visibility, with its notably narrow posts and generously proportioned windows. All this seems quite normal today, but in the '80s it was leading-edge technology, so much so that the philosophy guiding the design, even with updates and new implementations, has remained essentially the same, and Explorer models have continued to be modern and innovative in the years since. Explorer³ Year of manufacture equipped with oil-immersed disc brakes incorporated into each of the 4 wheel hubs, to give genuine all-wheel braking: a new feature (and a first, compared to the competition) guaranteeing efficient and dependable braking even on steep gradients. 5

6 1983 EXPLORER The market launch of the Explorer showcased 2 models initially, rated 55 and 65 HP, which were soon followed by a more powerful 75 HP. The range included 2WD and 4WD versions, with ROPS and with cab. The 65 HP model was also offered in a Special version (without cab) featuring height-adjustable fenders and a driving position with footsteps. Salient features: 3 and 4-cylinder engines with 916 cc displacement, air and oil cooled. Synchromesh mechanical transmission with Hi-Lo and creeper, giving 32 forward and 16 reverse speeds. 540/1000 PTO with hydraulic clutch and independent shaft for ground speed PTO. Oil-immersed disc brake assemblies on all 4 wheels. Reactive type power steering with 2 hydraulic rams. Front axle with 70 steering angle on 2WD machines and 50 on 4WD. Hydraulic lift with position, draft and mix control. Flat platform suspended on silent-block mounts, pendant pedals, shift levers located to one side, Tilt-adjustable steering column, sound-insulated cab with heater and roof hatch. By 1986 the range offered four models rated 60, 70, 80 and 90 HP, and two Special versions rated 70 and 80 HP. Engines of larger displacement were introduced: the "1000 Series" (1000 cc per cylinder). The transmission acquired a 5-speed gearbox, giving the machine a top speed of 40 km/h.

7 1988 EXPLORER II The Explorer was now given the suffix II, and developed still further with the addition of new important features: the exhaust silencer was relocated under the hood, enhancing visibility during operation and achieving a reduction in noise levels. The transmission became available with powershift (SynchroPower), increasing the number of speed ratios to 40 FWD + 40 REV. A 4-speed power take-off was introduced, now including economy speeds and allowing the operator to benefit from lower fuel consumption when working with implements requiring a modest power demand. Performance levels were increased with the availability of a front hitch and PTO, for use with front mounted implements, or implements operating both front and rear. Quick and easy attachment of the front ballast weight used only when required would help to save fuel and reduce soil compaction. Comfort too was enhanced further, with the introduction of electrohydraulic controls for engagement of the PTO, four wheel drive and differential locks, plus the option of air conditioning in the cab. The pressed steel body panels and driving platform were zinccoated to avoid rust and keep the long-term value of the investment high. The versatility of the Explorer II was also increased by offering a reversible driving position, useful not least for municipal duties. Special II machines now also included low profile versions, ideal for working under overhanging branches and foliage. Explorer II (NL) 7

8 1998 EXPLORER TOP 2004 EXPLORER CLASSIC In 1998, by incorporating a wealth of engineering features, the 70, 80 and 90 HP were also given a new look: fresh, modern body styling with rounded contours, in keeping with that of bigger horsepower tractors. The sloping hood increased visibility at the front end and gave the tractor a more mutli-fuctional appearance. In 2004, additional versions with cab were marketed under the name "Classic": these had a more low-tech profile and a correspondingly lower price-tag. The Special II versions also took on a new name Explorer T and were available in a range of 3 models rated 75, 85 and 95 HP. In the years that followed, 2 further models were put on the market under the name "Explorer New", which were the predecessors of the Explorer 3 range, featuring 3 stage Powershift, SBA system (automatic control of 4WD and differential lock functions), more powerful hydraulics, and electrohydraulic spool valves.

This was a development that led to the introduction of the Deutz engine, which was also able to run on 100% Biodiesel. The exhaust silencer was repositioned alongside the cab corner upright, improving visibility to the front. The option of a hydraulic power shuttle enhanced the technology of the machine still further, offering the driver increased operating comfort and saving time on repetitive "back and forth" tasks. The hydraulic system likewise was enhanced to increase the flow of oil available for external services, and provide higher lifting capacity. Similarly, the appearance of the tractor was completely revamped, giving the body a more modern look, and developing a new and larger cab with the controls repositioned to maximise ergonomic layout and comfort. Versions without cab had a roll bar type ROPS with 2 posts. Il tuo alleato sul campo parla italiano. Voglio un trattore che mi sollevi dai lavori più pesanti.

14 Perfect for every need. EXPLORER LD, SUPREMELY AGILE Explorer LD models have an optimum power to weight ratio, perfect for baling operations and for ease of manoeuvre when storing and handling crop and material, thanks to the availability of a GS version with power shuttle and a generous maximum permissible load. With their short wheelbase, courtesy of the 3-cylinder engine, and optimum steering radius, LD tractors are versatile even in tight spaces and livestock sheds, as well as being lightweight - essential in avoiding the kind of soil compaction that can adversely affect cereal and forage crops. 14

15 EXPLORER MD, SUPREMELY VERSATILE Explorer MD models are characterised by optimum weight distribution, which in turn guarantees the balance needed for drilling operations, and a structure that will also allow the use of implement equipment used typically for minimal tillage or no-tillage drilling.

The Explorer HD offers the kind of excellent multi-capability so attractive to mediumlarge agricultural businesses: a genuine all round machine ideal for contractors, and for spraying and fertilizing operations. 15

16 New SAME Explorer Designing the evolution of a legend. MASSIMO RIBALDONE - ENGINEER Head of Research and Development There's only one way to develop a successful product like the Explorer: start by addressing the needs of farmers and growers The new Explorer is more than simply a successful product continuing to evolve: it represents an entirely new project. In effect, we decided ourselves to reassess the needs of the market with the aim of identifying new demands: technical, comfort-related, dimensional and economic. The assessment led us to create a new range of products structured in 3 families offering a total of 11 models. An offering of this nature could not be fully implemented without the development of components designed entirely by SAME: the FARMotion 3 or 4-cylinder modular engine, a family of transmissions compassing three levels of power and weight, a completely new cab and, not least, hydraulic and electronic systems redesigned specifically with this new platform in mind. A multi-faceted project like this calls for willingness and ability to bring together a huge diversity of requirements and skills The design of the new Explorer range demonstrates the maximum expression of versatility and multi-capability. Each version of the product offers a variety of configurations and options, designed to meet the increasingly specific demands of the market and cover the widest spectrum of mission objectives. The Explorer has been developed with clear goals of multi-capability and efficiency, maximising performance and reliability, optimising operator comfort and introducing even higher safety standards. Alberto Bellini - Engineer Head of Project Development MANLIO MATTEI - ENGINEER Head of Engine Development A tractor like this needs an engine created for agricultural use, like the FARMotion For medium horsepower tractors like the Explorer, the integration of engine and vehicle is a crucial factor in offering the market the best possible combination of performance, operational economy, driveability and ease of maintenance. Hence the development of the new 3 and 4-cylinder FARMotion engines, which combine the SAME company's long experience in designing and building engines for agriculture with expertise provided by the world's top developers of combustion control technologies. FARMotion technology is based on a combustion chamber of highly advanced design which, in conjunction with a Bosch Common Rail fuel injection system rated 2000 bar and an oxidation catalytic converter (DOC), delivers high power and torque even at low crankshaft speeds, low fuel consumption, reliability and ease of maintenance. 16

17 ANGELO RIPAMONTI - Engineer HEAD OF TRANSMISSIONS DEVELOPMENT A medium horsepower range must cover a wide variety of uses, which means that the choice of transmissions is crucial The transmissions of the new Explorer models, evolving from previous versions, were designed to suit the requirements and complement the power units of the new tractors. Accordingly, there are transmissions available with 4 or 5 speed changes plus 2 or 4 ranges, giving speeds from 8 FWD + 8 REV up to 20 FWD + 20 REV for mechanical transmissions, from 16 FWD + 16 REV up to 40 FWD + 40 REV with Hi-Lo, and from 30 FWD + 30 REV up to 60 FWD + 60 REV with HML Powershift. Top speeds, depending on the type of transmission, are 30 or 40 km/h, even with the engine running at economy rpm. The aim was to offer a generous choice of transmission configurations for tractors working in a variety of different operations, and this has been achieved. Useful and usable technology, helping people in agriculture to do their job better In our sector today, there are products packed with technology and sophisticated systems that the customer often does not exploit to their full potential. The starting point for the development of the new Explorer machines was the principle of using electronics to simplify operations and improve productivity, while combining the selected technical features with maximum achievable modularity in design. Customers who choose these machines will benefit from the SDD steering system, which halves the number of turns required on the steering wheel, the tried and tested Stop&Go feature, facilitating front loader manoeuvres and controlling the drive response of the electrohydraulic shuttle for maximum comfort, hydraulics incorporating 60L/min ECO technology, total safety provided by the Parkbrake, and much more besides. All these functions have been developed with efficiency and productivity in view. Francesco Taroni - Engineer Head of Electronics Development Work revolves around the individual LUCA CAMPAGNA - ENGINEER Head of Cab Development Operators spend whole days at the wheel of their tractors, in all seasons and all kinds of working conditions. Consequently, the cab plays a key role in providing a haven of comfort and safety: it must be spacious and create a comfortable environment; it must also be equipped with ergonomically positioned controls and able to offer a panoramic view of the entire work area. It is on these concepts that we have based the design and construction of the new Explorer cabs: work revolving around the individual, who must be provided with the best possible conditions to do the job in hand. At all times. 17

18 New farmotion engine developed and designed for agriculture. MODULAR ENGINE Individual cylinder heads and removable cylinder liners for longer life, increased reliability and simple maintenance. AUTOMATIC VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT Requires no maintenance and reduces noise levels. COMMON RAIL SYSTEM Injection pressure 2000 bar. New 7 hole injectors for improved atomization of fuel inside the cylinders. OPTIMIZED AND RESIZED DISPLACEMENT Unitary displacement 962cc, 3 cylinders: 2887 cc, 4 cylinders: 3849 cc. 18

19 SAME Explorer models are equipped with next generation engines of the FARMotion family. 3 or 4-cylinder engines with high pressure (2000 bar) Common Rail fuel injection guarantee performance, reliability and low running costs. The EGR exhaust gas recirculation and DOC aftertreatment used on Explorer engines ensure compliance with Tier 4 interim regulation standard. Similarly, the new geometry of the cylinder heads and combustion chambers helps in turn to optimise fuel burn, allowing users of the new Explorer models to exploit the full potential of the engine and benefit from significant fuel economies. DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) A compact system requiring no maintenance. EGR (External Gas Recirculation) Operated and controlled electronically. SELF-ADJUSTING DRIVE BELT Poly Vee belt with automatic tensioner. Requires no maintenance. No risk of belt slip and consequent overheating. CRANKSHAFT The crankshaft features a new design and is made of forged steel for added strength, reducing vibrations by 60%. 19

20 power ANd efficiency AlwAyS UNder control. ENGINE There are two FARMotion engines used for SAME Explorer models: a 3-cylinder version of 2887 cc displacement for maximum economy, and a 4-cylinder version of 3849 cc displacement built primarily for performance. High efficiency of the engine is assured by a Common Rail fuel injection system operating at pressures up to 2000 bar and equipped with 7-hole injectors. The high pressure system guarantees immediate response from the engine to varying load conditions, whilst electronically controlled injection timing improves performance and reduces fuel consumption. This technology also helps to cut emissions by ensuring a more thorough atomisation of the fuel, and consequently better combustion. The crankshaft features a new design and is made of forged steel for added strength and better balancing. To achieve higher efficiency, performance, durability, reliability and strength, the crankcase has been reinforced to withstand a higher pressure in the combustion chambers. FARMotion engines are designed for: compactness, dependability, and ease of routine servicing. The generator drive belt is tensioned automatically and will remain permanently at the correct setting, with no maintenance required. The EGR exhaust gas recirculation and DOC aftertreatment used on Explorer engines ensure compliance with Tier 4 interim regulation standard. FARMotion engines guarantee high maximum torque, which means greater pulling power and superior flexibility. In effect, these are engines providing torque rises as high as 30% to 35%, depending on the model, and a wide consistent operating range. All the engines feature a new geometry of the cylinder heads and combustion chambers. This helps to optimise fuel burn, allowing users of the new Explorers to exploit the full potential of the engine and benefit from significantly reduced fuel consumption. The thickness of the cylinder walls has been increased to achieve lower levels of vibration and noise, better resistance to cavitation and less "fatigue" induced by mechanical and thermal stresses. Modular advantage is provided by the individual cylinder heads and removable liners: a real benefit to the customer in the event of parts needing to be replaced. 20

21 DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) With the introduction of an oxidation catalytic converter (DOC), exhaust gases treated by the EGR system are directed through and brought into contact with the catalyst, which reduces the level of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the emissions. Unlike diesel particulate filters (DPF), the effectiveness of the DOC converter is guaranteed for the lifetime of the engine, and with no maintenance or active regeneration procedures required. EGR (External Gas Recirculation) The exhaust gas recirculation system significantly reduces the level of nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are among the most powerful pollutants produced by the combustion of fossil fuels. A butterfly valve governed by the engine control unit opens to allow some of the exhaust gases from the cylinder back into the inlet manifold, where they mix with the air entering the cylinder. Importantly, the EGR system has its own cooler, by which the temperature of the exhaust gases recirculated to the inlet is lowered, to ensure combustion efficiency is not jeopardized, and avoid increasing fuel consumption. With electronic control, this externally cooled version delivers higher performance, especially in terms of acceleration and response. Electronic engine management Optimum control and efficiency are delivered consistently by FARMotion engines, thanks to their modern electronic management system, which always guarantees an instant response and more reliable PTO speed control. All engine operating parameters are monitored constantly by dedicated sensors and optimised as a result of controlling the fuel injection system. Besides optimum fuel metering, the electronic engine management system ensures stable and consistent performance, with swift, direct and precise response to the different drive and load conditions encountered. All this, and maximum simplicity too: using the hand throttle and the memory button, the operator can at any given moment set, save and retrieve a preferred engine speed for the particular job in hand. The benefits are soon apparent: the operator can handle the tractor easily and with total freedom, focusing more attention on the business of driving. 21

22 A transmission designed to meet every need. Transmission With a wide choice of transmissions available, Explorers are able to meet a wide variety of needs: soil preparation, spraying, drilling, minimal tillage or yard duties. Based on a 4-speed or 5-speed gearbox, ranges can be added to give ratios from 8 FWD + 8 REV to 10 FWD + 10 REV, and with Hi-Lo and creeper from 16 FWD + 16 REV to 20 FWD + 20 REV, in the case of mechanical transmissions. Alternatively, customers can select a 4- or 5-speed gearbox with ranges giving from 16 FWD + 16 REV to 20 FWD + 20 REV speeds with clutchless Hi-Lo Powershift allowing an up-down adjustment of the speed on each ratio (speed reduction of 16% between one speed and the other) simply by pushing a button on the gear lever. There is the option of Hi-Lo and creeper, doubling the number of speeds available. All options are fitted with a forward/reverse shuttle mechanical (LS version) or hydraulic (GS version) operated by a lever on the steering column. Maximum speeds, depending on the type of gearbox, are 30 or 40 km/h, even with the engine running at economy rpm. With Overspeed, the tractor can cruise on the road at 40 km/h either in economy mode (staying in top gear), or exploiting the full performance capabilities of the engine, using a lower ratio. With low engine speed, fuel consumption can be reduced significantly, whilst the power of the engine can be exploited at a speed near to that of the maximum rated torque. The effect is ultimately to produce an optimum power curve, better fuel economy and superior driving comfort, thanks to lower levels of noise and vibration. Finally, the ability of the Overspeed transmission to reach 40 km/h top speed is unaffected by tyre size, a factor significantly increasing the efficiency and comfort of the tractor when driving on the road, with or without a load. 22

23 On the Explorer HD is there a transmission designed to give ratios for every imaginable practical need, offering 30 forward speeds + 30 reverse, or 60 FWD + 60 REV with a top speed of 40 km/h even with the engine running in economy mode. The 3-speed Powershift enhances both the level of performance and the driving skills of the operator: within each gear change, there are no less than three options for adjusting driving speed on the go, under power. In practice, this means that having a selected a speed range appropriate for the work in hand, the operator can continue to adapt the actual ground speed to the prevailing load, simply by pressing a button on the shift lever. For tillage purposes, best results when using PTO driven implements are guaranteed by a power take-off with 4 speeds (540/540ECO/1000/1000ECO), independent ground speed PTO, and a front PTO operating at 1000 rpm. The PTO can be controlled both from the driving position and from buttons mounted on the rear fenders. In addition, there is a PTO Auto function (available only with electronic lift) allowing the operator to program the power take-off so that it will deactivate and restart when the rear lift linkage is raised and lowered to certain positions. Implements can be used simultaneously at front and rear thanks to a front PTO operating at 1000 rpm, driven directly from the engine, which is engaged by an oil-immersed multi-disc clutch with soft start electrohydraulic control. 23

24 SenseClutch power shuttle Explorer models in the GS version are specified with a load-sensitive hydraulic Power shuttle, and with the Stop&Go system. The shift-on-the-go shuttle is equipped with 2 oil-immersed long life multidisc clutches (for longer life and reliability) and incorporates an electronic control unit allowing the shuttle to operate under power as soon as the speed drops to 13 km/h, safeguarding the integrity of the mechanical components involved. The shuttle can be used to change the drive direction on all gear ratios, which saves a considerable amount of time when manoeuvring and making return passes. The shuttle lever is located beneath the steering wheel. Ergonomically designed and easy to use, it has a neutral position and will function only when enabled, to ensure total safety in operation. In addition, and for ultimate comfort, the gears can be shifted smoothly and effortlessly by pushing the ComfortClutch button on the shift lever, without having to use the clutch pedal. Response control The power shuttle lever incorporates a modulation control (thumbwheel potentiometer) with which the operator can select a sharper or softer response from the shuttle, according to the operating requirements. 24

25 Stop&Go The Stop&Go system expands the features and operating potential of the shuttle, providing the driver with a higher level of manoeuvrability especially when the tractor driveline has to be disengaged for intervals of varying duration, such as when operating with a front loader, or when hitching implements, or moving off on gradients. With Stop&Go installed, the movement of the tractor can be controlled utilizing only the brake pedals, with no need to operate the clutch pedal. In practice, when the brake pedals are depressed, the tractor stops and the system will simultaneously put the shuttle on hold. When releasing the brake pedals subsequently, the shuttle is re-enabled by the Stop&Go control unit, which guarantees a gradual and modulated engagement of the hydraulic clutch, and the machine will drive again positively, without jerking. All this makes the tractor incomparably practical when manoeuvring, as well as safe, reliable and comfortable to operate. 25

26 Top performance with every kind of implement. With operators now demanding more and more sophisticated performance when using implements, and more control options allowing them to work any kind of soil and to achieve the best results with maximum precision and speed of action these machines offer a rear lift with mechanical control, or the option of electronic control, powered by a high flow hydraulic circuit. Explorer models are equipped with a hydraulic system designed to maximize performance, using either a single pump rated 55 L/min or an innovative 60ECO system with dual pump rated 60 L/min at just 1600 rpm, and mechanically or electrohydraulically operated spool valves with flow control. Maximum lifting capacity is 3500 kg for the LD version, but where bigger lifting power is required, the Explorer range includes an MD version with lifting capacity of 3600 kg and an HD version with lifting capacity of kg. 26

28 Safety and innovation together. Explorer LD, MD and HD models are offered in a variety of 2 and 4 wheel drive versions. The front axle has high ground clearance and adjustable track width important when working with inter-row crops. Optimum weight distribution guarantees the balance needed for drilling operations, and a chassis that will also allow the use of implement attachments used typically for minimal tillage or no-tillage drilling. Explorer LD, MD and HD models are specified with different maximum permissible loads, making them ideal for front loader duties. A steering system with dedicated pump guarantees matchless manoeuvrability, even at low engine speed. The steering angle of the front axle is 55 for 4WD models, and 60 for 2WD. To ensure optimum productivity of the tractor and benefit from maximum traction and efficiency, the engagement of the front and rear differential and four wheel drive functions on Explorer models is controlled electrohydraulically. 28

29 SDD (Steering Double Displacement) The innovative SDD (Steering Double Displacement) steering system ensures greater driving comfort, as well as helping the operator negotiate demanding and complicated manoeuvres. In effect, the operator need only press a button to increase the flow rate of the steering pump and halve the number of turns required at the steering wheel. PARKBRAKE The innovative Park Brake system will ensure that the tractor is always securely and efficiently immobilized. This system features a device that locks the brakes with a high mechanical load. The brake is released automatically by a hydraulic system when the engine is started up. In the event of the tractor being parked on a steep gradient, the Parkbrake will prevent any movement to ensure total safety. BRAKING Genuine 4-wheel braking is provided by oversized rear multi-disc assemblies (5 discs per side) operating on each of the rear differential half shafts, and hydraulically operated inboard front brakes. The front brakes are especially useful when transporting loads on sloping terrain, where the additional braking capacity proves considerably advantageous. 29

30 Comfort becomes part of the job. 30

31 CAB The new Explorer cab is a pleasant, functional and comfortable place to be. The new materials, the new colour scheme of the interior, the outstanding visibility and the logical positioning of all the controls combine to make this cab the new benchmark for medium horsepower tractors. Simplicity of use, the colour line logic adopted for identifying groups of controls by function, and a high level of operator comfort all these ensure the driver will feel perfectly at home right from the start. The cab structure has been designed with 4 narrow and tapered posts to guarantee maximum visibility. The flat platform has become an integral part of the cab module, rendering the entire structure stronger and free of vibration, and at the same time reducing noise levels. A powerful heater for the winter, and efficient air-conditioning for the hot and sultry summer months: air from both of these systems is delivered through 10 directionally and proportionally adjustable vents allowing control of the flow, and 2 fast demist vents for the windscreen. With a steering wheel adjustable for height and tilt, hydrostatically operated pendant style pedals, and an air-suspension driver seat, the ergonomic benefits of the new cab will be evident even after only a few hours work. The passenger seat is proportioned and positioned for maximum comfort and convenience.
