From poultry to piggery, Mini to Max – Dieci has a specialist telehandler to suit all agricultural operations
Dieci says its strength lies in the specific nature of its machines, ensuring customers will get a telehandler best suited to the unique needs of their farming style.
Dieci’s machines, which are made in Italy, are solidly built, easy to maintain and get parts for, and have good serviceability.
Above this, it is the manufacturer’s acknowledgement that one size does not fit all when it comes to agricultural needs that makes its products stand out.
Where else could you find telehandlers with such specific names and uses as Cotton Pro, Poultry Pro, Piggery Pro and Haymaster – among others?
“The hay sector and poultry sector are our two biggest in terms of farming,” a Dieci Australia spokesman says.
“If you look at telehandlers like the Cotton Pro and Poultry Pro, these are specifically built to their markets and have been developed over the years to improve them.
“I think that’s probably where we do things a little bit different from others – we work towards building a solution product.”
To highlight one of these specialist machines, the Poultry Pro has been designed for that industry’s unique requirements.
As an addition to the Agri Farmer 30.7 the Poultry Pro is fitted with smaller wheels, cooling pack, larger radiator with reversing fan and a low cabin height to help operators navigate more efficiently, while its compact design enables it to fit into sheds and under gantries, which are typically used for feeding.
The Poultry Pro can reach speeds of 35km/h, can produce 98hp (73kW) and has a maximum lifting height of 6.35m.
Dieci’s Haymaster is also designed to work with a wide variety of attachments, ensuring hay handling is made easy.
Farmers seeking an all-round telehandler are also catered to by Dieci, thanks to the Mini Agri, Agri Farmer, Agri Plus, and Agri Max ranges.
There are eight models of fixed boom telehandler across these ranges, all of which are versatile and have fully enclosed cabins. The smallest of these – the Mini Agri 25.6 – weighs 5,100kg and has a maxi- mum capacity of 2,500kg and lift height of 5.78m.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, the Agri Max 70.10 weighs 12,100kg, has a maximum capacity of 7,000kg and significant lift height of 9.65m.
In between these models, the Agri Farmer 30.7 TCL (small tyres) and 30.7 TCH (large tyres) both offer maximum capacities of 3,000kg and lift heights of 6.35m while weighing 6,100kg.
The Agri Farmer 30.9 TCL (small tyres) and 30.9 TCH (large tyres) both have the same maximum capacity of 3,000kg, but are slightly heavier at 6,250kg and have a greater lift height of 8.7m.
Another telehandler in Dieci’s range, the Agri Plus, is available in two models – the 40.7 and 42.7 GD.
These have maximum capacities of 4,000kg and 4,200kg respectively, along with 7,600kg and 8,500kg total weights, also respectively, while the 40.7 is the slight winner on lift height at 7m com- pared to 6.9m.
Dieci has described the Agri Plus 40.7 – which is powered by a 125hp (93kW) engine – as one of its biggest sellers thanks to its versatility across industries, particularly for hay handling.
It is available with PS Power Shift transmission or VS Vario System hydrostatic transmission, and is fitted with bigger tyres, boom suspension and a suspension seat designed to increase comfort.
The ability for the bucket to move 146 degrees also allows for easy emptying on farm.
