The first telescopic tractor in the world to be certified for hauling up to 20 tons on the road. Models are available with air or hydraulic trailer brakes as option.
Merlo offers a wide range of machines for agriculture, incorporating unique technologies that only Merlo can offer and capable of saving you time, consuming less and working in total safety and comfort. We offer four models in the agriculture range:
TF35.7 115/116EE (3.5 ton lifting capacity with a 7m reach with 115HP Deutz/116HP Perkins engine)
TF42.7 115/116EE(4.2 ton lifting capacity with a 7m reach with 115HP Deutz / 116HP Perkins engine)
TF42.7CS 136 136/140/145 variants (4.2 ton lifting capacity with a 7m reach with 136HP Perkins/1140HP/145HP Deutz engine)
TF50.8 170EE (5.0 ton lifting capacity with an 8m reach and 170HP engine)
TF65.9CS 170 (6.5 ton lifting capacity with a 9m reach and 170HP engine)
All equipped with ASCS (Adaptive Stability Control System), Captive Electronic Joystick, plus left-hand dual reverser.
Engines and Transmissions
Higher Performance and Lower Consumption
The Turbofarmer range are powered with the following engines:
90 kW/122 HP 3.6 litres at 2300 rpm, torque 480 Nm at 1600 rpm (DEUTZ).
100 kW/136 HP 3.6 litres at 2300 rpm, torque 500 Nm at 1600 rpm (DEUTZ).
Merlo telehandlers are also equipped with hydrostatic transmissions for improved precision and safety with "active" braking. Merlo hydrostatic transmission with EPD (Eco Power Drive) as standard (2) in picture. Merlo versions with Deutz CRDi engines are equipped with EPD providing electronic control of the combustion engine, thereby helping to reduce consumption by 18% for effective annual savings. Engine speed reduces to maintain 40 kph.
As standard on all 115/116/136/145/170 HP models, there is the EPD Plus version that adds the "speed control" (3) mode that allows the speed of the machine's movement speed to be memorised and to keep it constant (ideal for yard handling operations) and the ECO mode that reduces the motor rpm, thereby obtaining further savings.
All models with an electronic joystick have the EPD Top System, which adds to the EPD Plus version the automated control of the diesel revs according to the movements of the telescopic boom, optimising the performance of the machine and keeping fuel consumption to a minimum.
The Turbofarmers are equipped with the "fan drive" (1) system that allows you to change the rotation direction of the fan, from suction to blowing.
