Like a fine Merlo

Our MONTHLY FIELD REPORT looks at machinery and equipment that farmers and contractors are operating across the country. This month, NOEL DUNNE, previews a selection of the impressive range of telehandlers – from compact models to stabilised and high lift solutions – that Merlo will showcase at the Balmoral Show later this month

The TF30.7 is a versatile, compact telehandler measuring just 2m wide and 2.1m high

(2m with low cab option), it delivers a three-tonne lift capacity and 7m lift height.

Powered by a 100hp Deutz Stage V engine, it combines manoeuvrability with impressive performance and optional cab suspension for superior comfort, the company states.

The TF42.7CS features a Perkins Stage V 136hp engine with a responsive load-sensing 139L/min hydraulic pump, 

ideal for more demanding tasks such as clamping silage and general duties around the farm. Offering a 4.2-tonne lift capacity and 7m

reach, its high ground clearance and cab suspension (CS) ensures smooth operation across rough and uneven terrain, while the high cab

position provides 360-degree visibility, enhancing safety and precision when handling bales, loading feed, or moving heavy materials.

Striking the perfect balance between performance and size, the TF33.7 offers a 3.3-tonne lifting capacity and almost 7m of lift while maintaining a reduced overall footprint. Powered by a 115hp Deutz engine, the TF33.7 is one of the most popular machines in Merlo's compact agricultural range. 

Powered by a 5.5hp Honda petrol engine, this versatile, compact tracked carrier offers 500kg capacity and narrow width of only 690mm.

It is designed to handle materials in tight spaces, ideal for agricultural, construction, and landscaping operations.
