![]() The ultimate in performance and endurance is also guaranteed by the Rustler's three-cylinder, 20 hp diesel engine and lightweight, corrosion-resistant, aircraft-grade aluminium chassis. ![]() The unveiling will be welcome news for those in the agricultural, groundcare, forestry and utility sectors who require a rugged, reliable all terrain vehicle.īuilt tough with an ability to work across a number of applications, the two seat machines with automatic 4WD and auto differential locks are designed with versatility in mind. The press launch of the Rustler 120 comes ahead of the new machine's UK public debut on 9-10 June at Cereals, the leading technical event for the UK arable industry. The Rustler 120 will have it’s first outing at Cereals 2010 (9-10 June).New Holland has launched its 4WD utility vehicle to the UK market, signalling a new era in Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) performance and versatility. The front panel clips up out of the way for ease of service and access to engine oil and coolant, whereas the air filter is easy accessible under the load bay.Īimed at both the ag sector and the groundcare market, prices will be announced later this month, while orders can be placed from June. There’s a 12V socket for lamping, too.Īlthough the Rustler lacks storage under the front “bonnet”, there are two compartments in the front and a number of cubby holes for bits and pieces. Options include agricultural-spec tyres and a snorkel for those anticipating paddling around in deep water. ![]() Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear and a mechanical, foot-operated park brake complete the running gear. At the rear the Rustler adopts a swing arm, coil over shocks setup. The rack and pinion steering, while not being power assisted, is light to operate and on the front, there is independent double wishbone suspension. Underneath, the CVT belt located to the rear of the machine is fully covered to prevent any slippage when in wet conditions, and extra guards and protection bars are available as well as camouflage finish. The on-road version will be fully kitted out with lights, suspended seats and mirrors as well as options like rear tow hitch and hydraulically powered tipping deck.

Also, like a Kubota, it travels at 0-40kph without a range change, except this is all done via a CVT belt instead of the power-sapping hydrostatic transmission on the Kubota. “There are over 2500 diesel machines being sold each year, and this is growing, partly due to people moving away from ATVs and also because of their dual-purpose capabilities.”Īlthough the Rustler has a fairly tame centrally-mounted 20hp Kubota three-cylinder engine, its lightweight aircraft-grade aluminium chassis means it performs well in the field. The market for utility vehicles is growing year on year, says Graham Gleed of New Holland. Built by US-specialist utility vehicle manufacturer, Club Car, the Rustler 120 marks the first rebadged-buggy to gain the blue and yellow colours.
