Solis increases output with new 90hp Shuttle XL tractor

Indian compact tractor brand Solis has entered new territory with its biggest

Indian compact tractor brand Solis has entered new territory with its biggest UK-bound tractor yet – the 90 Shuttle XL.

As the name suggests, its four-cylinder, 4.1-litre turbocharged engine is rated to 90hp, and torque peaks at 375Nm.

The block is built in-house by Solis parent company ITL – albeit with some Yanmar influence given the Japanese engine maker has a 30% stake in the company – and meets Stage 5 emissions limits with the fitment of a diesel oxidation catalyst, particulate filter and AdBlue system.

Power runs through a 12-speed Synchro Shuttle gearbox as standard, offering a top speed of 35kph.

However, buyers can spec a Super Creeper version that ups the ratio count to 20 and top speed to 40kph.

Working credentials include 540 and 540eco pto speeds, 65-litre/min hydraulics, a Cat 2 rear linkage rated to 3t, and a pair of rear spools.

A joystick to work them is optional, as is a cab as an alternative to the roll-over protection frame.

Hydraulic brakes, air conditioning and a better seat are also available from the upgrade list.

Various radial tyres are on offer, the biggest of which are 420/65 R24 and 540/65 R34s.

Solis, like several other compact tractor manufacturers, has also developed an all-electric model.

Dubbed the 26 Electric, it is designed for smallholders with a means of on-site electricity generation.

It is rated to just under 18kW (24hp), carries a 330Ah battery to fuel the 72V electrical system, and drives all four wheels via a two-range hydrostatic transmission. Top speed is 22kph.

Other features of note are its 22kph top speed, 540 rear pto, Cat 1 three-point linkage rated to 800kg, and a 25-litre/min hydraulic system.
