TELEHANDLERS FOR AGRICULTURE The agricultural telehandler is a working vehicle that facilitates transport, lifting and positioning of both light and heavy loads thanks to the presence of a hydraulically operated telescopic boom. It can be either fixed or articulated. Unlike normal tractors with front lifting, it can be used to handle loads even in small spaces thanks to 2 steering axles. Thanks to the telescopic boom it is possible to reach greater heights and distances, for example it is possible to easily load very large dumpers, or stack round bales in columns of 5 or 6 levels without difficulty. Furthermore, the characteristic side boom greatly increases visibility during work compared to a normal tractors with front lifting. The great advantage of telehandlers is that they can perform various jobs using the same vehicle: their peculiarity is their versatility. A telehandler can be equipped with different equipment and accessories for specific tasks: pick up hitch, forks, buckets, forks with prongs, clamp for big bales, lifting hooks, rear lifting device, etc. This makes it a unique and irreplaceable vehicle for the best management of work cycles and labour in any farm.

TELEHANDLER USES IN AGRICULTURE The Dieci agricultural telehandler is particularly suitable to handle large quantities of cereals, transport them and store them in silos. Equipped with a bucket for light materials, the Dieci telehandler can easily heap, move and organize mountains of cereals, wheat, barley, triticale, rye, oats, corn, etc. Thanks to the telescopic boom it can reach considerable heights and distances, it is able to exploit all the height available in the warehouse, to fill silos or load very large trucks without difficulty. Moreover, thanks to a wide range it is possible to find the telehandler that best meets specific lifting and power requirements. Handle fodder, clean a stable, load crates for picking fruit or vegetables, fill, transport, lift, arrange, hook, lift with a fork, tow, all operations that a Dieci telehandler can easily perform thanks to a wide range of accessories and to the possibility of choosing power, capacity, lifting capacity and telescopic boom length adapted to the needs of the individual company. This vehicle is so versatile that using it optimizes production cycles making the best use of labour time. There are many uses for the Dieci telehandler in cattle farms. It is very convenient to have in your farm a vehicle that simply changing its accessories can carry out so many different jobs: front bucket for feeding livestock and cleaning stables, fork with needles or clamp for big bales to move bales of hay, forks to move heavy loads. Telehandlers are often also used in poultry farms to clean up chicken houses from manure, stock it and reuse it, afterwards, as a fertilizer. Servicing New Zealand wide

CUSTOMER PROFILE
Ken Caird Managing Director, Central Feeds, Temuka Dieci Agri Plus 40.7 VS telehandler

0800 835 432 \ www.webbline.co.nz
Ken Caird isn’t the type of person to leap into something without fully investigating his options. As the Managing Director of Temuka-based Central Feeds - a part of the Pye Group - he’s responsible for a business that offers a huge range of services to its wide base of valued customers. These include cultivation, drilling, silage chopping, mowing, baling, wrapping, fodder beet harvesting and stock feed sales, so having the right equipment is vital to the smooth operation of the company. A recent addition to the Central Feeds equipment register has been a Dieci Agri Plus 407VS telehandler – the first of the Italian-sourced machines to join the fleet. “We were chasing reliability and driver comfort, and the Dieci seemed good,” Ken says. “We looked at the product first and made sure it was a strong product, and Dieci looked like it was.” The workload of the Dieci can vary but, through cropping season, it’s primarily used for loading bales onto trucks as part of the contracting business. It’s a job which Ken says the new machine is well-suited to. The Agri Plus has a 4485cm3 diesel engine producing 152hp of power and is equipped with the innovative VS Vario System hydrostatic transmission. “It’s got the 7m reach on it, and it’s got a bit more horsepower than we’ve had in the past, which is definitely noticeable, and it’s got good hydraulic speed and response.” However, it’s one of the standard features on the Dieci that Ken says has drawn a positive reaction from the operators. “The guys really like the inching pedal, especially for loading bales,” he says. “Often before, the guys had their foot on the brake and then they’d be trying to do both at once, which was quite hard on it. But this system is a lot smoother when you’re loading bales and you just want to go a wee bit further.” In addition to bale handling, the Dieci also shows its versatility with a variety of attachments that allow it to be used across the company. “Most of the time it has bale forks on it obviously, but we have a few different-sized buckets, a man cage, bale grab, soft hands and a log grab, so it’s a pretty universal machine.” That flexibility has seen the telehandler used in other roles, where it can be leased back to Central Feeds’ parent company, the Pye Group, which grows vegetables – primarily carrots and potatoes – as well as running about 10 dairy farms throughout South Canterbury. “The Dieci actually does quite a few hours, so it does the contracting season for us, and then we hire it back to the carrot wash company with a driver and we load carrots into the carrot wash, so it’s pretty much bucket work loading up carrots and putting them into a hopper. After a single season, Ken is understandably still cautious, but says there have been no issues with the machine and, with reliability as one of his key performance indicators, the signs are positive. “We had a demo with one and that gave us the peace of mind and, on the back of that they had a strong dealer behind them too, otherwise we wouldn’t have made the change. “We’ve got a good relationship with Webbline too, which helps as well.”
AGRI STAR
3.5-4.0 ton, 6-10m lifting height
The AGRI STAR range consists of versatile and powerful telehandlers, designed to give the user the right balance between power and agility, wherever it is necessary to handle heavy loads in confined spaces. AGRI STAR EVO2 is equipped with “Inching” pedal, which allows the vehicle to run at slow speed even with engine at full throttle, and a EVO2 transmission with variable displacement pump and hydrostatic motor, that allows acceleration from 0 to 40 km/h without the need to change gear. This telehandler is particularly suitable for towing trailers up to 20 t on the road at a maximum speed of 40 km/h and for loading and unloading materials, thanks to its tilting kinematics equipped with a control that allows to considerably increase the fork holding plate angle rotation. The extension cylinder located inside the boom also improves visibility and safety in use. The cab, ROPS-FOPS approved, equipped with every safety device and designed to ensure a high level of comfort, can be equipped with an enhanced air conditioning system which allows perfect air circulation inside the cab. To further enhance comfort, new seats with automatic suspension can be installed on request.

AGRI PLUS
4.0-4.2 ton, 7-9m lifting height AGRI PLUS is a fixed-boom telehandler with a specific vocation for heavy and intensive use. It can be equipped with 2 types of transmission: the PS Power Shift transmission, with 6-speed manual/automatic gearbox, 3 in reverse and “Inching” pedal control which guarantee maximum power at all operating speeds; or the innovative VS Vario System hydrostatic transmission that allows to always find the best speed-power ratio in any working condition, allowing unparalleled manoeuvring fluidity and millimetric precision in small movements. The VS EVO2 transmission combined with the electronic management, allows obtaining fuel savings up to 20%. The vocation of AGRI PLUS for heavy use is especially expressed in the lifting equipment: the DCS (Descent Control System) guarantees the maximum boom descent speed even with the engine at minimum speed, allowing this telehandler to have exceptional manoeuvrability and greater comfort for the operator, with more precise movements, more responsive vehicle at the movement start and greater stability under all conditions. Furthermore, the vehicle is less prone to the environmental conditions and is ready and efficient even when the hydraulic oil is cold. The gear reversing can be integrated into the joystick, so it is easer to control the travel phases in a more convenient and comfortable way. AGRI PLUS is also approved for towing on road trailers up to 20 tons at a maximum speed of 40 Km/h.

CUSTOMER PROFILE Caldwell Contracting Southland Dieci Agri Plus Telehandlers
The Caldwells started out growing potatoes for Southland supermarkets. It was from these beginnings that Alan and Diedre Caldwell started Caldwell Contracting back in 1994. They had seen an opportunity to get in on the boom in dairy farming in Southland and to offer agricultural contracting services. Now employing their sons Doug and Bevan who are heavily involved in the day to day running of the business. Now one of the largest agricultural contractors in Southland, covering the region wide and up into South Otago, they employ up to 50 staff in the summer peak. “We were talking to Webbline and were having a look at their new Dieci Telehandlers,” said Bevan, “We were needing an extra loader for our operation as we were low on capacity, and took an extended demo/hire of one of their Vario machines.” Caldwell Contracting like to get operator input into their purchase decisions, as a happy operator makes managing staff a whole lot easier. “After using the Dieci Telehandler, the staff would always go for this machine over our other machines,” commented Bevan, “They were impressed by its stability as they are often loading muck spreaders and bin trucks with heavy bucket loads.” “The overall driving experience was what impressed us the most; smooth transmission, fast hydraulics and really precise control movements made life a whole lot easier,” said Bevan. “Coupled with the powerful Vario transmission, the staff went for the Dieci every time.” Coming from a mechanical background, Caldwells were impressed with the high quality of the componentry that is fitted to the Dieci’s. “The Dana Spicer axles and transmission, and Bosch Rexroth hydraulics help convince us this was no second rate product,” they said.
