Perfect match<br />
With new designs developed specifically for poultry, piggeries, cotton and hay,<br />
Dieci’s range of specialty telehandlers are built tough for Australian requirements<br />
A<br />
Manufactured in Italy and engineered locally to<br />
meet the needs of Australia’s diverse agricultural<br />
sectors, Dieci’s specialty telehandlers are built to be<br />
tough and reliable.<br />
Dieci works every day to evolve its machines,<br />
adopting the best solutions based on research,<br />
advice and customer experience.<br />
This consistent exploration has resulted in a<br />
range of industry-specific telehandlers for poultry,<br />
cotton, piggeries and hay – all of which are designed<br />
with impressive attachments and features to suit<br />
even the harshest of Australian conditions.<br />
Using hydraulically-operated telescopic booms to<br />
transport, lift nd position light to heavy loads, Dieci<br />
telehandlers can perform various jobs using the<br />
one vehicle. Unlike normal tractors with front lifting<br />
systems, these machines have far greater reach,<br />
hydraulic capacity and manoeuvrability.<br />
With lift eights ranging from 5.8 metres to 9.6<br />
metres, the characteristics of Dieci’s specialty range<br />
can be summarised in three concepts: technology,<br />
reliability and durability.<br />
Whether you are picking up birds or cleaning out<br />
sheds, the 2.5-tonne Poultry Pick-up and threetonne<br />
Poultry Pro models are guaranteed to help<br />
you get the job done.<br />
These machines are designed to specifically meet<br />
the needs of the industry with a number of features<br />
that make them ideal for use in hot poultry sheds.<br />
With smaller wheels to help operators navigate<br />
more efficiently, the compact design of these<br />
vehicles allows them to fit into sheds and under the<br />
gantries, typically used for feeding and watering<br />
birds in their specially protected halls.<br />
Along with a custom-designed air filter system,<br />
Kubota diesel engine, double reversing fan, rollover<br />
boomhead for efficient bucket emptying and<br />
LED lights designed to avoid startling poultry, the<br />
14 <strong><strong>Farm</strong>s</strong> & <strong>Farm</strong> <strong>Machinery</strong><br />
Poultry telehandlers set the standard for reliability,<br />
safety and operator comfort.<br />
The Piggery Pro model offers similar features<br />
to the Poultry Pro. An engine monitoring system<br />
with shutdown protection, reverse radiator fan and<br />
improved airflow to keep the engine bay clean,<br />
further add to the functionality of this vehicle.<br />
The introduction of big, square hay making<br />
balers, although popular with farmers, presented<br />
the new problem of handling and storing big and<br />
heavy packages.<br />
A truly universal machine with extreme digging<br />
and pushing abilities, the Dieci Haymaster 40.7<br />
makes light work of hay handling and fodder.<br />
With a four-tonne maximum capacity and a lift<br />
height of seven metres, the Haymaster features an<br />
impressive rear-mounted radiator, hydraulic cooler<br />
and ‘Easy Ride’ boom suspension.<br />
Last but certainly not least, the heavy-duty<br />
Cotton Pro 70.10 is a no-fuss, reliable workhorse<br />
with a four-cylinder Tier 3 FPT engine that is easy<br />
to maintain and service.<br />
