Serie 1500: small in size, big in performance
The VP 1500 series has been completely revamped with a modern design and fresh new look to offer an all-new range of nimble compact tractors. The new models feature a fully redesigned engine hood and cab roof. The new VP1500 series comes in two versions: STD with either cab or platform and GE with open platform only. On the GE version, the design of the front axle and rear final drives allows the driving position to be lowered by 95 mm as compared to the STD version, for enhanced performance in tight and low spaces. Powered by Yanmar engines, the VP 1500 series comprises three models with power ratings from 44 to 51 hp: the 1545, 1550 and 1555 in both STD and GE versions.
