Bobcat has launched its new TL25.60 Agri super compact telehandler, extending the brand’s agricultural range to eight models.
The newcomer is powered by the Bobcat D24 Stage V diesel engine providing 56kW; it has a rated operating capacity of 2,500kg, a maximum lift height of 5.9m and a fully extended reach of 3.3m.
“The innovative design of the TL25.60 Agri is based on intensive analysis of customer and application requirements in agriculture,” Bobcat’s telehandler product manager, Florian Hilbert, said. “This ensures the new telehandler is simple to use, offers excellent stability and provides optimum comfort and productivity in any type of work on the farm.”
The arrival of the new TL25.60 Agri follows the successful launch of its counterpart model for construction, rental and associated industries in late 2022. Like the construction machine, the TL25.60 Agri is compact and agile for optimum manoeuvrability on the farm. While there are similarities, the TL25.60 Agri offers many more features specifically for agricultural customers, including:
- front auxiliary with hydraulic flow of 80 lit/min;
- boom cushion retract as standard;
- three Agri finishing levels to choose from;
- large variety of tyre choices;
- air-suspended seat;
- Cab+ Agri option containing all required Agri features within the cab;
- electric mirror with de-icing; and
- hand throttle.
The TL25.60 Agri offers superior comfort with a roomy cab that offers easy stepless access via the large entry door with ergonomic handholds. Inside the cab, there’s a tilting steering column as standard and telescopic as an option, which can be adjusted for the operator’s convenience.
“The TL25.60’s cab is identical to that of some of Bobcat’s larger models, making it the most spacious compact telehandler on the market today,” Mr Hilbert said. “The intuitive operating system on the TL25.60 Agri allows operators to quickly master the controls and joystick layout – ideal for both experienced and novice operators. The machine also provides excellent visibility and ease of use, so that all workers can use the machine on the farm.”
Users of the TL25.60 Agri have industry-leading expertise at their fingertips, enhancing their work with the innovative smart technology found throughout the machine. This includes unique Bobcat features such as maximum lifting angle and return-to-ground functions, boom suspension, boom float and the automatic fan inverter system on the machine.
This is combined with the high productivity provided by the impressive loading capacity and fast cycle times thanks to the flow-sharing function as standard on the TL25.60 Agri. The smooth hydrostatic transmission and flow sharing ensure precise control at any height.
Using the same main valve as the larger models from the Bobcat range, the TL25.60 Agri claims the best cycle times on the market. The high pushing and breakout force on the TL25.60 Agri give operators all the power they need with dependable torque and hydraulics, supported by the robust build of the machine.
The high performance of the TL25.60 Agri is matched by the maximum uptime that results from the straightforward maintenance requirements, including direct access to all major components around the engine. In addition, the large bonnet and no-tool design of the maintenance cover allow operators to easily perform regular maintenance tasks themselves.
The robust build and high protection for machine components provided by the box-welded frame is part of the high standard for quality and toughness found on all Bobcat machines, including the TL25.60 Agri. The protected critical components mean the machine can be operated in even the most demanding applications.
The versatility built into the design of the TL25.60 Agri allows the operator to choose from a wide range of available attachments and different carriage systems. The Bob-Tach carriage allows users to connect even the most advanced attachments and tackle any jobs on the farm.
“The TL25.60 Agri is a machine that can be trusted in any situation on any farm,” Mr Hilbert said. “The superior stability, balance and visibility offers unrivalled peace of mind. The machine enables operators to work day and night, aided by the large mirrors, rear-view camera and powerful LED lights.”
