Subject: New LAMBORGHINI SPIRE (80 – 100 HP) with FARMotion engine
SPIRE MARKETING
INFORMATION
Designed to meet Tier4i emissions standards, the latest SPIRE models are equipped with the
new FARMotion engines.
The following brief introduction indicates the main data, innovations and technical
specifications of the new FARMotion series engines.
The FARMotion engine is designed specifically for use in agriculture, that is to say compact,
reliable, and with minimal maintenance requirements.
The entire package is geared to deliver higher performance than ever, constant power and
torque curves even at low crankshaft speeds, and low fuel consumption.
• Simple maintenance
SPIRE MARKETING
INFORMATION
• Downsizing
With unitary displacement slightly reduced from that of the 1000 series to 962 cm³, these
engines still guarantee top performance, and with the added benefits of lower fuel
consumption and noise levels.
• Common rail
• New injectors
New injectors with 7 holes (compared to 5 previously) for better atomization of fuel.
1° PILOT: a pre-injection burst before the main burst. It is used to have a gradual increase in
pressure in the combustion chamber and, consequently, to reduce the noise
3° POST: a third burst following the main burst. It is used to reduce particulate exhaust

INFORMATION
• DOC
The DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) device is a special catalytic converter that reacts by
contact with the engine exhaust gases (consisting of particulates and Nox) and renders them
harmless.
NOx
NO2
H2O
HC
CO CO2
The DOC catalytic converter is not a filter and consequently will neither create dangerous
exhaust back-pressures nor clog. In effect, the component is guaranteed effective for the
entire service life of the engine, requiring no maintenance or active regeneration procedures.
Benefits:
Compact system
No power absorbed
No maintenance
No active regeneration Catalizzatore DOC
No use of AdBlue
• Maintenance
The individual cylinder heads and removable liners guarantee optimum cooling and extremely
simple maintenance.
Another feature of the new engines is the hydraulic lifters providing automatic valve
adjustment, guaranteed to operate maintenance-free as long as the engine stays in service.
The timing belt is tensioned automatically and will stay at the correct tension with no attention
required.

On the following pages, the performance of FARMotion engines is compared with that of
engines in the 1000 series.
It will be seen that per unit of rated power, all power, torque and specific fuel consumption
data reflect a superiority of FARMotion engines over engines of the 1000 series (even when
comparing the 3-cylinder FARMotion unit with the 4-cylinder series 1000 4 engine – graph 2).

INFORMATION
The new FARMotion engines have also been conceived and designed with a view to
guaranteeing levels of vibration and noise distinctly lower than those of 1000 series engines.

Manufactured in compliance with the new Tier 4i regulation, the new family of LAMBORGHINI
SPIRE machines is made up of 4 models covering the 80...100 horsepower range, equipped
with the new 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder FARMotion engines.
Produced in three versions (Target - LS - GS), these models offer unique specifications not
available hitherto in this particular market segment.

Engine
All other technical specifications (transmission, PTO, hydraulics, cab) and options are available
as for Tier 3A engines.
A brief summary of the main technical specifications is given below.
Transmission
SPIRE transmissions are developed on 2 levels (mechanical or HML) and equippable with
mechanical shuttle (Target / LS) or hydraulic power shuttle (GS).

SPIRE INFORMATION
This is a true power shuttle, allowing reversal of direction on the go, under load, and with no
loss of engine torque during the course of the manoeuvre.
The unit uses 2 electronically controlled "Long Life" oil-immersed multiple disc clutch
assemblies (one for forward, one for reverse). Operating the lever, handily placed under the
steering wheel, the change of direction occurs without any "jerking": the machine slows
gradually to a halt and restarts in the opposite direction effortlessly and smoothly.
During the change of direction, as one clutch assembly releases, the other begins to engage
proportionally, so that the entire shuttle sequence is completed with precision, free of
kickback and without any loss of torque (even on gradients).
GS versions are also equipped with the "Stop&Go" feature, and a "Comfort Clutch" on the
shift lever allowing the driver to change gear without using the clutch pedal.
The "Stop&Go" system expands the capabilities and potential of the power shuttle, offering
the operator a level of functional advantage that remains effective even in restricted spaces.
With Stop&Go installed, the movement of the tractor can be controlled using only the
brake pedals, without having to depress the clutch pedal.
With the system activated, depressing the brake pedals has the effect of putting the clutches
of the power shuttle "on hold" as the tractor slows gradually to a halt. When the brakes are
released, the exact opposite occurs: the clutches re-engage smoothly and progressively as
the tractor moves off again in the opposite direction.
Front axle
The 4WD coupler and differential lock are operated mechanically (on Target versions) or
electrohydraulically (on LS and GS versions).
PTO
With multiple PTO speeds — either 2 (540 – 540 ECO) or 3 (540 – 540 ECO – 1000) — plus
ground speed PTO and 1000 rpm front PTO (LS and GS versions only), the SPIRE is a truly
versatile machine equipped to take on the widest range of tasks.
Target
Dry disc type PTO clutch, engaged
mechanically by a lever.
LS & GS
Independent oil-immersed multi-disc
type PTO clutch, engaged
electrohydraulically by a pushbutton
control.

SPIRE INFORMATION
Hydraulic system
2 hydraulic systems are specified, rated 42 l/min (Target) or 54 l/min (LS and GS), with a
minimum of 4 to a maximum of 6 ports, mechanical controls and flow regulator.
Rear lift
LAMBORGHINI rear implement linkages are renowned universally as being the best available
in terms of precision, control, and practicality in the field.
SPIRE machines are equipped as standard with a mechanically operated lift, but with the
option (for LS and GS versions) of a fully electronic monitoring and control system,
which will ensure that performance and quality of work are always second to none.

Maximum lifting capacity STD Kg 2,650 Kg (Target) / 3,000 Kg (LS/GS)
Maximum lifting capacity STD Kg 3,600 Kg
If requested, these new models (LS and GS versions only) can also be equipped with a front
lift — original and built-in — of rated capacity 1,750 kg.

Safety
• Swift and safe changes of direction, with a genuine hydraulic power shuttle
The oil-immersed multi-disc clutch assemblies afford a uniquely sensitive response when
alternating between forward and reverse, without ever losing traction (there is no "neutral"
stage), so that shuttle manoeuvres are guaranteed safe even on steep gradients.
