Handlers at the Cereals Event
Merlo UK returns to this year’s Cereals Event in Lincolnshire, bringing a range of their innovative agricultural telehandlers engineered specifically for the modern arable farmer.
On display will be three models from the current TurboFarmer (TF) range. A highlight is the versatile TF42.7CS, a popular choice for British arable farming. With a 4.2-tonne lift capacity and 7-metre reach, this model is powered by a Stage V 136hp engine and features a responsive load-sensing hydraulic pump – ideal for loading grain and performing a range of essential farm tasks. The TF42.7CS also benefits from Merlo’s hydro-pneumatic cab suspension system (CS), for enhanced ride comfort and stability when operating on roads and on rough, uneven ground. It comes equipped with Merlo’s ASCS (Adaptive Stability Control System) which includes a live digital load chart, automatic attachment recognition, and a large in-cab 10.1” colour display, integrated weighing system and operator profile settings – enhancing both safety and performance.
For those requiring even greater capacity, Merlo will also present the impressive TF50.8T HF. Offering a 5-tonne lift capacity and 7.8 metre lift height, the ‘T’ denotes boom suspension, which stabilises loads across rough ground. Powered by a robust 170hp FPT engine and delivering an impressive 160 l/min hydraulic flow, the TF50.8T HF also comes standard with ASCS – making it ideal for busy farms with multiple users and changing tasks.
Visitors will also see the TF38.10 TT in action at the demonstration plot. With a 9.7-metre lift height and 3.8-tonne capacity, this machine is ideal for stacking bales or fertiliser bags at height. Its three-stage boom, and TT system (hydraulic frame levelling and boom side-shift), allows for precise load placement. ASCS is also standard on this machine.
Across the range, Merlo telehandlers are engineered with comfort, safety, and sustainability at their core – qualities that make them indispensable on any modern farm. Features such as CVTronic seamless transmission, an option on some models; high-flow hydraulics (up to 160 l/min); powerful engines delivering up to 170hp, and the EPD (Eco Power Drive) system, which can reduce fuel consumption by up to 18%, ensure outstanding performance and efficiency. With heavy-duty towing capacities of up to 24 tonnes and real-time stability control systems, it’s easy to see why Merlo machines are trusted by professional farmers across the UK.
Visitors can find Merlo on Stand 1004, with live demonstrations taking place at their adjacent Demo Plot 1008. Live demonstrations will take place daily at 9:30am, 11:30am, 1:30pm and 3:30pm
