BOBCAT ‘V-DRIVE’ TELEHANDLERS MAKE LIGHT WORK OF FARMING CHORES
Bobcat has completed its agricultural telehandler range with the addition of three large high flow V-Drives models which provide the sort of performance that is demanded from the farming sector.
The TL34.65HF, TL38.70HF and TL43.80HF all feature Bobcat’s ‘V-Drive’ continuous transmission system and are designed to offer more comfort and productivity.
Using dual hydraulic motors, Bobcat has been able to maintain the same performance as the current gearbox transmission. The V-Drive transmission allows operators to drive from 0 to 40kph without the need to stop the machine or think about changing the gear before starting. It also removes any jolts that might happen when moving from one speed range to another. The hydraulic tank has also been redesigned resulting in a higher capacity.
The V-Drive models also offer noise reduction inside and outside the cab which was achieved by suspending the hydraulic motor with four rubber mounts, resulting in a decrease of 60% in vibrations and eliminating the whistle sound of the transmission.
The use of the V-Drive transmission provides greater traction, easily adapts to any terrain, and offers excellent grip and stability even when the operator is tackling rough ground or slippery surfaces.
