For many years, the tractor has been the ultimate solution to most manual tasks on the farm. Given the dynamic farming culture, farmers need to upgrade to the latest machine technology to improve productivity. With this in mind, it is easy to see why telehandlers are replacing tractors as an improved solution to farming operations.
Compared to tractors, Dieci agricultural telehandlers feature additional capabilities that make them more adapt to farming, thus lowering operation costs.
Dieci has a deep and unrivalled appreciation of the needs of farmers and farming and that is evident in every machine we design and build to make work on the land easier. To help you better understand why you should invest in a Dieci telehandler for your farm, we have listed a number of benefits below.
Versatility
Versatility is one of the greatest strengths of a Dieci telehandler, featuring a telescopic boom with a variation of attachments to suit numerous tasks. Whether you are moving loads of feed through tight spaces, unloading pallets, or even stacking bales of hay, you can rely on a Dieci telehandler to get the job done.
Cost Saving
Due to a diverse range of attachments, a Dieci telehandler eliminates the need for buying or renting other types of farm machinery.
In addition, Dieci telehandlers are built with a solid chassis to handle the toughest tasks, which means money won’t be spent on costly repairs. However, it is vital to ensure that you fit compatible attachments and schedule regular maintenance to avoid costly mechanical breakdowns.
Increased Productivity
The accurate measure of valuable farm machinery is determined by its degree of efficiency and productivity. Telehandlers score well in increasing production efficiency, which is evident from their high-load capacity. These machines can lift heavy loads to greater heights compared to similar-sized cranes and forklifts.
The telescopic booms enhance flexibility to transport loads for long distances that would be otherwise impossible to reach using a single vehicle.
On and Off-Road Capabilities
Similar to most agricultural tractors, telehandlers feature four-wheel drive functionality for smooth navigation of rough terrain. What sets them apart from traditional tractors is their large, agricultural-grade tires with excellent traction. With these features, Dieci telehandlers are well-adapted to working in tightly confined spaces with an uneven surface, typically found when feeding livestock or loading and unloading products.
Improved Safety
The high lifting power of Dieci telehandlers makes it easy to perform complicated manual lifting. This reduces the pressure on your workers, which in turn improves their safety. To further enhance security, many telehandler models have stabilisers that allow safe use of the machine even on sloping grounds. Operator manuals are also provided to ensure safe use.
It is advisable to avoid exceeding the machine’s maximum load capacity. This not only improves the user’s safety but also reduces overall wear and tear as a result of overloading.
Application Specific
Dieci telehandlers have many uses on cattle farms due to the convenience of accessories that are suitable for the job at hand – front buckets for feeding livestock and cleaning stables, forks with needles or clamp for big bales, forks to move heavy loads etc. Dieci Australia also designs telehandlers suited specifically for poultry and piggery farms for cleaning out sheds.
There is no doubt that a Dieci telehandler is worth adding to your fleet. Our telehandlers will save you time and money, while improving productivity for maximum agricultural output. Their capability to perform various tasks has proven to be extremely resourceful in the modern-day farming industry.
Understanding as we do, the ever changing demands and challenges faced by all farmers, we continue to work with farmers around the world, including those in Australia to develop and refine the machines and attachments that precisely meet the needs of an extensive range of agricultural applications.
