At the international trade shows ?Eima in Bologna? and ?SIMA 2013? in Paris, the Merlo group presented its latest innovations in agricultural telescopic loaders, including the Turbofarmer 50.8, which received the Novità Tecnica Eima 2012 award (Eima 2012 Technical Innovation). This telescopic loader has a breakout force of 5 tonnes and a maximum lift height of 8 m.
The Turbofarmer 50.8 model, like its derivative, the Multifarmer 40.9, embodies all the innovation Merlo was capable of, from design to manufacturing and accessories. Everything is new and paves the way for the next families of Merlo telescopic loaders.
This machine occupies a market segment ranging from 4 to 5 tonnes of capacity.
The Turbofarmer 50.8 offers cutting-edge technology:
- active and passive vehicle safety
- efficiency, achieved through the interaction between the diesel engine and the hydrostatic transmission and through electronic torque/speed control for energy savings.
- versatility, understood as multi-application, so that this new Turbofarmer family is not simply the ?most agricultural? telescopic loader on the market but becomes the ?essential? machine for all activities, on the farm as well as in the fields.
- driving comfort, thanks to the adoption of a completely redesigned cab. The new Turbofarmer Heavy Duty (HD) family carries 5 innovations in itself.
The new safety system is called MCDC (Merlo Dynamic Load Control).
It is a system designed to guarantee the total safety of the vehicle, the operator and anyone who may be nearby; the system allows the operator to work with complete peace of mind because it informs them in real time about ground conditions in order to prevent the machine from tipping over.
MCDC also performs automatic attachment recognition, adjusting in real time all the operating parameters of the Merlo loader the moment the attachment is coupled to the carriage. This would make it possible to use all Merlo equipment in the best conditions, to guarantee safety and above all to ?extend the service life? of attachments, which never work in overload conditions.
Efficiency relies on two Merlo patented technologies: ?MCVTronic? and ?EPD?.
These are two technological innovations that work in synergy to optimize performance, productivity, energy consumption and comfort.
By pressing the accelerator pedal, the operator is no longer in direct contact with the engine but sends a torque request that is managed by the system, based on economy and performance parameters, regardless of engine speed. The result: very high performance with considerably reduced consumption.
This system would also ensure perfect progressiveness from 0 to 50 km/h (maximum speed limited according to the regulations in force in each country).
The Turbofarmer 50.8 introduces a new aspect that will now be part of your daily work: versatility. This model combines a mechanical power take-off delivering 135 ch with an output shaft with 21 splines and a drawbar and hitch hook able to tow a trailer of up to 20 tonnes. Equipped in this way, the Turbofarmer is ready for anything according to Merlo, just like a tractor of the same power.
For long working hours, nothing beats the new cab of the 50.8, whose ergonomic criteria meet requirements for comfort and ease of use. Among the new products, we should also mention the new version of the Multifarmer 40.9 CS, an unprecedented concentration of power and comfort.
Arising from the same project, the new Multifarmer is the ideal solution for all activities requiring a rear linkage and a 3-points hitch.
