Same Titan

In 1991 the Same Titan 160 was introduced to the market, followed the next year by the Titan 190. The 190’s engine was water-cooled and used resonance supercharging, where a fluctuating boost pressure drew more air into the cylinder, increasing the peak torque by 3 percent. Both models featured intercooling and an electronic engine management system. Their 27 + 27 gearbox’s highlight was a 9-speed powershift. There was also a version of the 160 with a 3-step creep gearbox. The direction change mechanism was mechanical.

Lifting capacity was 8 600 kg, but the open-centre hydraulics delivered a modest 60 litres per minute. Standard equipment on the Titan included SBA (an automatic differential-lock and four-wheel drive engagement system based on wheel-turning angle and speed), disc brakes on all wheels, a power take-off, air conditioning and an air-suspended seat.

The cab, typical for Same, was narrow. Noise level was claimed to be 76 dB. The most important gearbox and linkage functions were controlled via a multifunction lever. Also standard was the sophisticated “Check Panel” graphical monitoring system, and on the 190 a trip computer with radar. As an option there was the “Global Monitor,” a machine-mounted video surveillance system (shown in the middle picture in its cage on the roof of the tractor). The cab could be tilted forward for maintenance access. Overall dimensions were quite compact for this power class.

In 1995 the range expanded with the Titan 145. At the same time the hood graphics were updated and the 160’s engine was replaced by the same water-cooled unit used in the Lamborghini Racing series. New transmission features across all models included an electro-hydraulic reverser and shift automation based on load, speed and engine rpm. At the end of 1998 the Titan 145 was replaced by the 150 and the 160 by the 165. The SuperTitan was essentially a 190 fitted with 42″ wheels and stronger final drives. Other updates in the lineup included a D-pillar exhaust and an oil cooler for the driveline.
