The perfect sidekick on and off the field
Tractors are undoubtedly the most important machines in agriculture. The tractor has come a long way since its humble beginnings in the 19th century. Nowadays, ploughing, cultivating the soil, and planting fields are done effortlessly with a tractor. However, certain other tasks on the farm are not as straightforward when using a tractor. That’s where the telehandler comes into play.
Need to stack straw or hay bales? No problem. An advantage of telehandlers is the increased reach over tractors. The boom typically has a reach of 7 to 10 m compared to the tractor’s maximum reach of 4,5 m. Grabbing and depositing material can be done further and higher. That’s one point to the telehandler!
The telehandler offers great flexibility. The weight of the load can be distributed by extending or retracting the boom. Because of this, a telehandler has a larger load capacity compared to a tractor. Telehandlers can handle loads up to 6000 kg, while a tractor maxes out at 2500 kg.
