Smaller Bobcat telehandler

Described as simple to use and suitable for any type of farm work, the TL25.60 Agri follows on from the launch of its counterpart construction model at the end of last year.Extending the firm’s agricultural telehandler range to eight models with capacities and lift heights up to 4.3t and 7.5m, respectively, the new super compact model is powered by a 75hp Bobcat Stage V diesel. The rated operating capacity is 2.5t, maximum lift height is 5.9m and fully extended it reaches to 3.3m.There are similarities to the construction machine, such as the hydrostatic transmission, but much of the design of the Agri version, such as the front auxiliary with hydraulic flow of 80l/min, is specifically for agricultural customers. So too is boom cushion retract (standard) and there are three different finishing levels, a large variety of tyres, air suspended seat, electric mirror with de-icing and hand throttle.Identical to that of some of Bobcat’s larger models, the roomy cab provides stepless access via the 90-degree opening entry door with handholds. A tilting steering column is standard (telescopic optional).Other features include maximum lift angle and return-to-ground functions, boom suspension, boom float and automatic fan inverter system. Using the same main valve as the larger models, the TL25.60 Agri is said to provide high pushing and breakout forces and fast cycle times.On the service front, the large bonnet and no-tool design of the maintenance cover allows direct access to all major components around the engine. A wide range of attachments and different carriage systems are available, and the spec includes a rear-view camera and LED lights.For more up-to-date farming news click here and subscribe now to profi for just £3.99 an issue. by Steven Vale More From This Author
