Scottish Debut for New Handlers

A host of new JCB agricultural machines will make their Scottish debut at the Royal Highland Show, which runs from Thursday 19 to Sunday 22 June at Ingliston, Edinburgh.

Among the newcomers that JCB dealership Scot Agri plans to exhibit on its stand (R266A) are two all-new Telemaster telescopic wheeled loaders, the latest high-lift Loadall telehandler, and the upgraded 435S wheeled loader – a big hit with silage-making and muck spreading contractors.

Will Fleming, Agricultural Sales Director, Scot Agri, said: “JCB has built on its already outstanding range of farm handling machines with additional Loadall variants catering for different performance needs, and three telescopic wheeled loaders of a size and performance level not seen in the JCB line-up before.

“We can’t wait to present these machines at the Highland, go through the details with existing and, hopefully, future customers, and explain how the machines’ specs and features can add efficiency, productivity and convenience to their farming operations.”

The new JCB tele-loaders are bound to attract plenty of attention; there are two mid-size versions, the TM280 with 109hp and single-range hydrostatic drive, and the TM280S with 130hp and a transmission with hydrostatic and mechanical elements that optimises low- and higher-speed working.

Both lift 2.75 tonnes to 4.8 metres using a heavy-duty single-stage telescopic boom, and despite having a full-size cab shared with other Telemaster loaders, they measure a best-in-class 2.6 metres to the top of the cabin, enabling access through low doorways.
