WARRANTY ASSISTANCE SPARE PARTS TECHNICAL FEATURES SKY JUMP TECNICAL FEATURES The solution was to adopt our own exclusive “Dualsteer” steering system, which permits the negative impact of the understeer to be countered and a very limited turning circle to be guaranteed, thus lending the Sky Jump general manoeuvrability and stability characteristics that are extremely favourable, in vineyards with very steep slopes in particular. THE REVOLUTIONARY IDEA We’ve been looking into the best solution for equipping our specialist tractors with tracks since 2005, so that they can occupy the market sector reserved for classic tracked tractors. CHASSIS DRIVE ENGINE Number of cylinders Displacement (cm3) Suction Emission level Balancing Power (kW/HP) Nominal speed (rpm) Torque max (Nm/rpm) Cooling Tank capacity (lt) TRANSMISSION Transmission clutch Sky Jump twin track with Dualsteer steering system HOW AN INNOVATIVE PRODUCT IS BORN THE INITIAL DESIGNS: PROBLEMS AND CRITICAL ISSUES The first study involved an articulated isodiametric tractor with four rubber tracks to replace the wheels, a solution which was then shelved because of serious shortcomings, above all in use on steep slopes in espalier vineyards arranged transversely with respect to the sloping ground. In these conditions, the machine was able to highlight dangerous stability issues with a serious risk of overturning when, in headland, it needed to steer downhill while it exited a row to enter the one below. Irregular wear was also observed between the rubber of the rack and the guide rollers positioned within the track itself, an issue caused by the high grip of the track on the ground during steering, causing a braking effect with great friction that was able to weaken the tracks. The premature wear of the tracks, above all at the front, was able to reduce their life and expose them to dangerous risk of slipping. All of this adversely affected the safety of the tractor with distinct increases in costs for maintenance and downtime. Sky Jump takes its name from the deck of state-ofthe-art aircraft carriers, no longer flat as in the past, but curved at the end in order to launch the aircraft “into the heavens” during take-off. Thanks to the outstanding climbing capacity of the Sky Jump tractor, the driver “sees the heavens”, the same way as the fighter pilots who take off from the “sky jump” deck of aircraft carriers.

However, both these solutions to the track wear problem had the disadvantage of excessive understeer due to the great traction of the tracked rear axle, with distinct limitations in steering and turning radiuses that were out of the question. WINNING CHARACTERISTICS The Sky Jump tracked vehicle has a traction capacity which, depending on the terrain, can exceed that of its siblings with tyres, SDT, AR or RS from the BCS Group, by 60%. Used on steep slopes, it also has a greater lateral stability that allows it to travel through espalier rows, generally sloping downwards, perfectly maintaining the set trajectory, even when carrying lifted implements. The soil compaction, noticeably lower than that of a tractor with tyres, allows the Sky Jump to be used even on wet soil, guaranteeing maximum traction and minimising damage to the ground between rows. Thanks to the special rubber tracks, it can travel at 40 km/h by road without damaging the asphalt and with greater stability than its siblings with tyres. Equipped with “Dualsteer” steering, it is highly manoeuvrable, approaching its sibling with tyres and capable of a 60° steering angle with extremely limited turning radiuses.
