Quicke’s latest Silocut for loaders
DESIGNED for compactness and power, Bobcat has added three new loaders – including a telehandler – to it’s already bulky R-Series range of equipment.
Up first is the smallest loader in the range, the TL25.60, designed for those tight spaces and powered by a 75hp Bobcat Stage V engine. The machine has a rated operating capacity of 2500kg, offers a maximum lift height of 5.91m and a maximum reach of 3.31m.
For adaptability, this machines uses the Bob-Tach carriage allowing it to utilise attachments designed for the Bobcat loader range.
Florian Hilbert, telescopics productmanagerintheEMEA area for Bobcat, said: “On top of this super compact format, the cab in the TL25.60 is the same as Bobcat’s top-of-therange R-Series 18m model, so customers can be certain they have the most spacious cab in the compact telehandler market. A complementary version of the TL25.60 aimed at the agricultural market will be launched in 2023.”
Like all Bobcat telehandlers, the new engine hood has been designed to maximise visibility on the right hand side of the machine. Together with the new dashboard design in the cab and strong but slim cabin pillars, this provides excellent unobstructed visibility for the operator.
The TL25.60 has an extra tough design with a robust frame and boom for working in every possible environment. The shielded design provides protection for hydraulic and electrical components, including the pipes, harness and transmission, and a steel plate protects the base of the machine. Like all Bobcat telehandlers, the TL25.60 has a box section layout and significant ground clearance for peace of mind.
New S86 and T86 compact loaders
Delivering a higher engine and hydraulic output, the Bobcat S86 and T86 are the most powerful compact loaders the company has ever built.
Both machines use a wellproven Stage V compliant 3.4l Bobcat engine, producing 105hp at 2,600rpm. Just like all R-Series loaders, the engine is mounted in-line with direct drive, which improves the cooling capacity of the engine and hydraulic components.
John Chattaway, loaders product manager at Bobcat, said: “The S86/T86 follow on from the very successful introduction of the smaller S66/T66 and S76/T76 loaders.
“The S86/T86 top-of-therange models continue the same trend by setting new industry standards in every area, from in-cab comfort and safety to available power and attachment versatility. The S86/T86 take what is possible with compact loaders to a whole new level.”
Three auxiliary options
One of the most exciting new aspects of the S86 and T86 is that both machines have for the first time a choice of three different auxiliary flow outputs.
There is a standard flow configuration providing 87l/ min for applications such as load and carry, or where low hydraulic flow attachments are used.
Bobcat also offers two additional hydraulic performance functions using the new Electronic Displacement Control (EDC) Pump: a high flow function giving 138l/min and a new, industry unique super flow function taking auxiliary flow to 159l/min.
The five coupler block provides a flexible approach to running different attachments. From one common source, the operator can attach both standard or high flow approved attachments to the smaller sized half inch quick couplers.
Both high flow and super flow options come integrated with Bobcat’s unique attachment control device (ACD). The S86 and T86 machines also have Power Bob-Tach Attachment systems as standard.
The Power Bob-Tach is an added comfort and productivity feature that allows some attachments to be connected and removed without the operator leaving the seat.
Lifting capabilities
The new S86 and T86 workgroup design increases the ability to lift more, carry more and reach further. This is achieved by a new workgroup geometry that improves lifting capability throughout the lift arm’s range of motion.
When combined with the high hydraulic performance and the lighter and stronger cast-steel lift arm sections, the loaders offer higher capacity throughout the lift cycle, even at full height.
Cab comfort includes low noise and vibration levels inside the one-piece sealed and pressurised cab, together with the intuitive SJC controls as standard, and the informative displays.
The cab also has an HVAC system as standard and increased operator visibility, which can be further enhanced with the innovative clear side cab option.
With the latter, 75% of the side windows are mesh-free, ensuring an unobstructed view from the cab. Bobcat has also added a rearview camera as standard equipment to the list. In addition to the standard five inch in-cab display, Bobcat offers a seven inch display as an option.
THE TRACKED version of the T86 R series loader range from Bobcat
NEW TO Bobcat’s telehandler range is the TL25.60 compact machine
THE PUSH out mechanism in action on a Silocut L+ tine version wrap handler on the latest Silocut bucket version
LOADER specialist, Quicke, has released a new range of Silocut implements for handling silage.
This range comes with various options and comes in three different sizes:
• Silocut M+: Available as a forged featuring replaceable bolt on tines or as a profile tine implement, a forged tine version which has profile cut ‘tuff tines’ welded in the tine carriage providing excellent wear capabilities.
The width and capacity are ideal for front end loaders, compact wheel loaders and mid-sized telehandler use.
• Silocut L+: Available with forged or profiled cut ‘tufftines’ but also a bucket. The L+ is a highly efficient implement for both cutting clamp silage and splitting bales, no need for a second implement.
Powerful cylinders and a large opening allow most common silage bales to be split with ease, ensuring a complete cut with our unique cutting system incorporated into the side gables of the Silocut L+.
• Silocut XL+: This model is a high-capacity shear grab that can be used for cutting clamp silage and splitting bales. It is offered in the same three versions as the smaller L+. The robust and well-tested design grants long service life and peace of mind.
Both the Silocut L+ and XL+ are available with two additional innovations – a bale wrap handler as well as a push out mechanism.
The bale wrap handler makes it possible, after the bale is split, to grab the wrap and net and retain it, negating the need to remove the wrap by hand, increasing operator safety.
Quicke also launched a new sequencer valve which allows users to combine work with two independent hydraulic functions on the implement with only a third service. This allows the oil to divert to the bale wrap handler when the cut is completed,ensuring that the bale is completely split and that the claws kick at the right moment as well. This offers great savings over as you can use the option without the need for a fourth hydraulic service.
