In the autumn of 2009, the redesigned Forterras could be easily recognized by their streamlined headlights. The lineup’s newcomer was the 136-horsepower Forterra 135, and the engines in the other models also received updates. The injection pumps were still mechanical, but the 135 featured four-valve technology. The oil-change interval was extended to 500 hours. The decades-long practice of using long model numbers was dropped, and the model number now corresponded to the horsepower rating.

Technically, the Forterra remained a fairly basic tractor. The power-shift transmission had three ranges, and the direction changer was mechanical. The cab’s noise level was 81 dB. Production of these model versions continued for other markets even after the new 100–140 models were introduced for markets requiring Tier IIIB compliance.
