    Tractor of the Year 2024 – Best of Utility: Solis S90 Shuttle XL

    Under the bonnet there is a new S-Tech four-cylinder engine, meeting Stage V regulations with DOC, DPF and SCR. The 90hp Solis S90 offers 375Nm at 1,400rpm, with a newly developed 12×12 Synchro Shuttle transmission putting power to the ground. The gearbox tops out at 40kph and can be fitted with a creeper system, increasing the available gears to 20×20.

    Running gear incorporates a strengthened and sealed front axle for maintenance-free operation and less mechanical losses. At the rear, the 3,000kg capacity rear linkage can be beefed up to 3,500kg, with up to three double-acting spool valves fed by a 65 litre per minute hydraulic system.

    In the cabin, wide opening doors and a flat floor provide a comfortable working area for the operator, with controls within easy reach on the right-hand side and various options including a Premium seat.
