Vega K90 AI-Tractor
Articulated tractor equipped with an intelligent system that optimises the use of the electro-hydraulic reverser, clutch and brakes.
The Vega K90 AR AI-Tractor is an isodiametric reversible tractor with EasyDrive® electro-hydraulic reverser as standard, featuring compact dimensions, narrow track width and a wide steering angle.
Artificial intelligence supports the operator in carrying out manoeuvres by automatically selecting the most appropriate clutch, brake and reverser engagement rules, based on the actual working and environmental situation of the tractor.
This results in a reduction in manoeuvring time, fuel consumption, pollutant emissions and machine wear, as well as increased safety and work output.
AR | Articulated
The OS-Frame chassis and steering acting on the tractor’s central joint ensure tight turning radii in narrow rows with little room for manoeuvre.
The Vega K90 AI-Tractor range is also available in the ‘RS’ version with steering wheels or Dualsteer® version.

Four driving modes.
Artificial intelligence, through an advanced control system – entirely designed and developed by the BCS Group – allows the tractor’s performance to be optimised and driving comfort to be improved, guaranteeing maximum safety and performance in different operating conditions.
The system operates in four driving modes that can be selected by the operator via the display menu on the dashboard.
1. ‘QUICK REVERSE' driving mode.
Possibility of quickly reversing the direction of travel of the tractor using only the EasyDrive® control lever on the left of the steering wheel.
- Artificial Intelligence manages the clutch, brake and accelerator, taking into account the state of the tractor (e.g. whether it is on a slope or on the flat and which gear is engaged) and allowing the operator to select different degrees of machine responsiveness when starting and braking.
- This reversing mode is useful for haymaking, green maintenance, snow removal and wherever quick and easy reversing is required.
- Advantages for the operator: greater driving comfort, rapid and efficient manoeuvring, less wear and tear on the machine.
2. ‘SLOW REVERSE’ driving mode.
Possibility of reversing the direction of travel of the tractor using only the EasyDrive® control lever on the left of the steering wheel.
Unlike the ‘Quick Reverse’ mode, when the shuttle is activated the machine stops for a few moments before progressively restarting, allowing the operator to coordinate the reversal with the steering wheel manoeuvres.
- Artificial Intelligence handles the clutch, brake and accelerator, leaving the operator to select different degrees of machine responsiveness when starting and braking.
- This reversing mode is useful when manoeuvring out of a row, when cutting grass where there are obstacles or when handling heavy loads such as bins of fruit or liquids.
- Advantages for the operator: greater driving comfort and efficiency when manoeuvring, minimising the risk of accidental collisions with crops, less wear and tear on the machine.
3. ‘BRAKE AND GO’ driving mode.
The tractor can be controlled by only using the brake pedal.
As soon as the operator presses the brake pedal, the clutch opens immediately, allowing the tractor to pull in precisely. By releasing the brake pedal, the tractor, without recoiling, resumes its previous speed, also on a slope and with a load.
On a slope, when the brake pedal is pressed, the brake servo is activated to help the driver perform the necessary manoeuvres of pulling over and then starting again.
- Artificial Intelligence takes care of the clutch, brakes, accelerator and reverse, managing slowdowns, stops, restarts and allowing the operator to select different degrees of machine responsiveness when starting and braking.
- This driving mode is useful for activities that require the use of the PTO and the need to keep the engine speed steady, as it allows you to control stopping and starting with just the brake pedal.
- Benefits for the operator: higher levels of driving comfort, manoeuvring precision and operational safety combined with fuel savings and reduced machine wear.
4. ‘FORKLIFT’ driving mode.
The tractor behaves in a similar way to an electric or hydrostatic lift truck.
The operator can approach the load to be lifted slowly and with the necessary precision, using only the accelerator pedal or, alternatively, a specific button on the joystick, automatically engaging the clutch and using or not using the brake depending on whether the tractor is operating on plain or mountainous terrain.
- The Artificial Intelligence manages the clutch, brakes, accelerator and also the reverse gear smoothly, without jerks, giving the operator the option to select different travel speeds.
- This driving mode is useful when using the tractor with a forklift and for work requiring fixed engine speeds, such as when using a mulcher or sprayer.
- Advantages for the operator: high driving comfort and maximum operational precision in approach manoeuvres.
Advanced features.
Easy Plus™ clutch.
Easy Plus™ clutch
Always smooth and progressive engagements.
The multidisc clutch in oil bath with hydraulic control is controlled by a new software that filters any poor use of the clutch pedal by the operator, avoiding jerky start-up.
Thanks to the Easy Plus™ clutch, progressive engagement is guaranteed, without jerky movements and wear.
Hill start assist.
The system locks the tractor on a slope for a predetermined time after the brake pedal is released, allowing the driver to safely manage the start by using the clutch and accelerator pedals to gradually adjust the required power.
The tractor starts smoothly and without any recoil only after the clutch has been released, even if the operator releases the pedal abruptly.
Safety and opportunity.
Standard with AI-Tractor:
EasyDrive® electro-hydraulic reverser
Total control.
Optionally, the transmission can be equipped with the exclusive EasyDrive® electro-hydraulic reverser (standard on AI-Tractor).
The practical lever, on the left of the steering wheel, allows the operator to reverse the driving direction without using the clutch pedal and without lifting the hands from the steering wheel, while always keeping the vehicle control at all times.
Air suspension seat
Air suspension “Grammer” seat with lumbar support and backrest adjustment for maximum comfort.
Front bumper
Robust steel accessory that combines style and functionality by protecting the bonnet and radiator grille from impact.
In the configuration with front lift, it integrates the linkage of third point tie rod.
