The isodiametric tractors of the Ferrari Mizar 70 series concentrate all of the Bcs Group’s most advanced technical solutions into a medium-power machine, aimed at maximizing tractor efficiency
In the isodiametric tractor segment, it’s common to classify machines with less than 50 horsepower as entry-level, those between 50 and 70 horsepower as mid-range, and those above 70 horsepower as high-end. Naturally, as power increases, so do performance, structural robustness, and machine weight. However, this classification doesn’t necessarily apply to technical features, which are more influenced by commercial strategies and market positioning.
A perfect example is the Ferrari “Mizar 70”, a mid-range tractor (rated at 63 hp) that offers very little that could be called “average” in terms of content. Instead, it incorporates nearly all of the most innovative features found in the brand’s top-tier models.
These include the option to equip a category 4 homologated cab (see dedicated box), the latest-generation DualSteer steering system, and the hydraulically operated multi-disc clutch “Easy Plus”, which—thanks to electronic management—ensures smooth, jerk-free engagement regardless of working conditions. This system also enables two exclusive functions:
- Power Clutch System, which allows speed or direction changes via a button-operated clutch, and
- Smart Brake & Go, particularly useful during repetitive handling tasks with forklifts or front loaders, as it lets the operator stop and start the tractor using only the brake pedals.
Exclusive to the BCS Group for now, these features are complemented by a specialized “OS Frame” chassis, which allows up to 15 degrees of wheel oscillation (versus the industry average of 8 degrees) and connects the engine and transmission using a single driveshaft. In addition, the epicyclic final drives help reduce wheelbase length, enhancing both mechanical efficiency and reliability.
Efficiency also extends under the hood, where the Mizar 70 houses one of the most advanced four-cylinder engines on the market: the Relko-Kohler “KDI 2504 TCR”. Compliant with Stage V emissions standards, it includes an electronic RPM control system that maintains engine stability under varying loads.
This engine is paired with a 12-speed synchronized mechanical transmission that works in conjunction with a permanent 4-wheel drive system. As noted, the engine and transmission are located at opposite ends of the tractor. This configuration enhances weight distribution and allows for three different steering types:
- RS models with traditional front-wheel steering,
- AR models with central articulation steering, and
- Versions equipped with DualSteer, ideal for extreme maneuverability in narrow vineyard or orchard rows.
This maneuverability is further aided by the Mizar 70’s minimum width of just 112 cm, making it ideal for working between dense vegetation or turning within tight headlands.
For operations on steep slopes—often required in forage work—a specific “MT” version is available. It features a wider stance of over 170 cm and a minimum ground clearance of around 21 cm, ensuring maximum stability and safety on side slopes.
True to its high-end nature, the Mizar 70 also boasts a split hydraulic system, with separate pumps for vehicle services and implement operation. The working pump alone can deliver up to 48 liters of oil per minute.
Finally, the Mizar 70 (and other models under the BCS Group umbrella) are the only isodiametric tractors currently available with Trelleborg’s “PneuTrac” tires, which closely simulate the behavior of rubber tracks.
Box: Open or Cab Version, Always Reversible
All Ferrari “Mizar 70” isodiametric tractors come standard with a reversible driving position, enabled by a pneumatic cylinder that lifts the seat effortlessly. Both the seat and pedal assembly are mounted on a single rotating platform, allowing the operator to switch from forward-facing to reverse driving in just seconds—a key advantage when high-precision implement control is required.
The tractors are available in both open station and cab versions, the latter built with four-post ROPS-certified frames and offered with either:
- Class 2 “Vista” cabs, or
- Class 4 “Vista Pro” cabs, depending on the desired level of protection from external contaminants.
Both cab options provide unobstructed 360° visibility, thermal and vibration insulation via silent blocks, and optional features like:
- A CAN-bus electronic joystick, which integrates both PTO engagement and hydraulic flow rate control;
- The Self Cleaning System, which reverses the cooling fan to clear out the hood’s ventilation grilles;
- A rear hitch with “Dual Floating System” hydraulic suspension, which improves ground-following performance of mounted implements;
- And a wide selection of tire options, tailored to each tractor’s specific application needs.
