AGCO adds 59HP ST60A compact tractor

AGCO compact tractors just got bigger and better with the addition of the new Model ST60A. The ST60A has a bigger chassis and bigger engine to handle the bigger, more demanding jobs. The new tractor has more muscle throughout with a heavier built 3-point hitch for more lift capacity and more hydraulic flow for faster loader cycling. Combine the increased strength and power throughout with the clutchless shifting of a QuadraShift transmission on the cab model, and the ST60A becomes the ultimate compact loader/chore tractor.

"Compact tractor owners told us they needed something with a little more power around the farm, at the construction site and on those larger properties," says Tom Weir, general marketing manager, AGCO compact tractors. "The ST60A fits that need with its 59.1 hp. It is built for long life and durability with the power and versatility to handle big jobs and small."

Buyers can choose from an open platform model ST60A that comes standard with a 12 x 12 PowerShuttle transmission with clutchless change of direction, or a cab model with QuadraShift transmission with PowerShuttle that lets you change speeds and direction with no clutching. The QuadraShift has three non-synchronized ranges with a 4-speed power shift, giving operators 12 forward and 12 reverse gears. The range selection lever is on the left hand console and the shuttle lever is on the left side of the steering column for easy access.

The ST60A is equipped with a 12.8 gpm hydraulic flow. This translates into faster reaction with any hydraulic attachment. Control over hydraulics is enhanced with a factory-installed joystick that operates four mid couplers.

The new compact boasts greater durability throughout, from the larger chassis to the multi-disc, wet clutch to the heavy-duty category I/II 3-point hitch. It also offers more convenience with a larger cab with entry and exit to either side, climate control and easy to read digital instrument panel. All controls are ergonomically placed for ease of access and customer comfort.

"Open platform or cab model, the ST60A is built for hard work and long days, whether they come once a week or every day," says Weir. "It is packed with features that will tackle tough jobs and get them done quickly."
