Description
Ergonomics, simple operation, many Köppl innovations and sufficient power reserves combined in one device. The Köppl TAURUS offers all the ergonomic advantages you would expect from a work animal. The TAURUS leaves nothing to be desired with its ultimate ease of use, extreme modularity and full performance.
The TAURUS adjusts perfectly to the height of the operator. The inclination of the spar can be adjusted and swivelled by 180° without tools using the quick-release fastener. In addition, the handlebar can be locked in to the left and right by 20° in the front attachment and by 30° in the rear attachment, so that the operator can walk comfortably next to the machine while still retaining full control. This does not affect the operating functions.
Attachments can be easily controlled via joystick from the handlebar. E.g. the depth control with mounted rotary tiller or, with Snow throwers, the rotation of the chimney and the position of the ejection flap.
Two PTO shaft speeds of 837 rpm and 581 rpm (ECO) enable ideal operating speeds for a wide range of attachments. The new ECO function makes it possible to work at lower engine speeds and minimises both wear on attachments, CO2 emissions and fuel consumption.
Safety and security
The operation remains unchanged both via the steering levers and via the steering bar, in the front and rear mounting, forwards and backwards. This means that there is no need for cumbersome rethinking during operation. In hazardous situations, the machine can be quickly brought to a standstill using a safety handle.
The design of the TAURUS is based on DIN-EN 709 and meets all the safety criteria of the new DIN standard 12 733 If the clutch lever is released while the machine is moving, e.g. if the operator stumbles or falls, the machine stops immediately (engine continues to run). By the time the operator engages again, the hydraulic system has automatically returned to the zero position and can be safely approached again in this position. Additional mounted on the TAURUS Safety valves prevent the machine from rolling away on slopes.
Attachments are gently coupled into the TAURUS’s robustly designed oil bath gearbox via a magnetic coupling to protect the machine. The entire safety cut-out functions electronically, so that no mechanical control elements can jam in the event of contamination.
Innovation
The TAURUS 2-wheel tractor is equipped with the Köppl Easy-Drive as standard. A new feature is the finger joystick control on the handlebar, which can be used to conveniently (both forwards and backwards) control the shift of the implement’s centre of gravity.
The TAURUS is equipped with a power shuttle for quick changes of direction. The speed range (front implement, rear engine) is 0-8 km/h forwards and 0-4 km/h backwards. A maximum speed of 8 km/h forwards and 3.6 km/h backwards is possible with a rear-mounted rotary tiller (front engine). The TAURUS recognises the position of the swivel beam and automatically switches to the appropriate direction of travel and the maximum permitted speed for both types of attachment. So the TAURUS can also be driven forward up to 8 km/h in the rear attachment.
