Dieci bringing unique model to Australia

Dieci Australia’s product range is set to grow, with a unique new model on its way to the country

Farmers will soon have the benefits of a telehandler and wheel loader in the one machine, thanks to Dieci’s new Agri Pivot T70.

This articulated telehandler expands on Dieci’s existing range, offering the height benefits of a telehandler with its 5.2m reach along with the agility and movement of a wheel loader.

This makes the Agri Pivot T70 ideally suited to agricultural jobs such as animal feeding, moving and dumping sand and soil, according to Dieci Australia’s national sales manager Bob Mules.

“The new Agri Pivot T70 with its 80-degree steering angle will be ideal for feeders,” he says. “With its agile and precise movements, when you need to carry feed to your troughs, the articulated centre allows you to place the feed where you need to, even in the tightest of areas.

“This also means you reduce waste and save money as the placement of the feed is much more accurate.

“The new T70 Pivot has been developed to use a variety of attachments including forks, buckets, lifting hooks and more.

“This machine is ideal for tasks that require precise placement of a load into a bucket.

“With a standard telehandler, you can side shift, but you typically can’t swivel the bucket. However, because this machine has the arm positioned at the front, you can rotate it to align the bucket precisely with where you’re placing the load.”

The latest addition to Dieci Australia’s range will complement the existing telehandler models, such as the industry-specific Haymaster, Poultry Pro, Piggery Pro and Cotton Pro, along with other units such as the Agri Plus and Agri Max.

The Agri Pivot combines the benefits of a telehandler and wheel loader

Its raw numbers show the Agri Pivot T70 weighs in at 7,150kg and has a maximum lift capacity of 3,000kg, in addition to the 5.2m lift height.

It is powered by a 115hp (86kW) Perkins engine, has a pull-out force of 6,000 daN, towing force of 6,650 daN and a maximum speed of 40km/h.

Dieci Australia says it is perfect for operating in confined spaces or when a high-performance compact vehicle with affordable running costs is needed.

One important benefit of combining a telehandler with a wheel loader lies in the articulated chassis.

By having a double-joint central articulation joining the front and rear chassis, Dieci says this ensures stability, strength and manoeuvrability in all movements.

A steering angle of 80 degrees helps the Agri Pivot T70 to remain stable even in extreme conditions, while the rear oscillating axle makes it adaptable to all types of ground and guarantees four support points.

A 45 per cent differential lock, which is a standard feature across Dieci’s range, is another feature which Mules says will be appreciated by operators.

Agile steering and precise movements make it a practical and easy-to-use vehicle for agricultural needs, along with those of other industries.

It has also been designed to handle a variety of implements such as forks and buckets, with quick and easy changeover plus a double-cylinder, double-action hydraulic accessories lock for maximum stability.

Dieci has also added a number of features to ensure farmers can get maximum functionality while using the Agri Pivot T70.

One of these is Shift on Fly transmission, which allows for gear changes without stopping and less time spent on manoeuvres.

This, along with travel direction and boom functions, are controlled exclusively by the new joystick.

An Eco function reduces both fuel consumption and noise emissions, even while travelling at the maximum speed of 40km/h, while another function automatically limits the speed of travel while the boom is raised.

An electronic accelerator and inching pedal provide accurate and controlled movement at any speed, even with the boom at full power.

Dieci has also added four advanced controls to the boom – which are shake, wall, memory and floating – and each are designed to make different aspects of daily work easier.

The boom is centrally located, guaranteeing high visibility and removing the risk of accidental impacts, while Dieci’s patented compensation cylinder inside the lifting cylinder protects all components.

The engine has been installed longitudinally to ensure maximum balance and accessibility.

Other advanced technology in the Agri Pivot T70 includes an anti-tipping system and an easy dumping system, the latter of which is specifically designed to increase the service angle and provides benefits when the bucket in moved to the ground and when it is unloaded at the maximum height.

Inside the cabin, the seat has been moved slightly back to offer increased legroom, while the redesigned dashboard and new monitors provide clear access to all important information.

It also has a clear instrument panel, two doors which both open 180-degrees, large windows and an elevated seat for 360-degree vision even with the boom raised.

The Agri Pivot T70 is on order and is expected to arrive to Australia by February 2025.

Dieci Australia’s comprehensive range of telehandlers, mixers and dumpers is accessible nationwide through their flagship branches located in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth.
