It is the first step towards a proper farm loader: it loads gravel, sand, soil, manure or silage, moves pallets and bales around the yard, cleans concrete pads and pulls material off the pile. With a top speed of 20 km/h it drives itself between the yard, the garden and the plot at the edge of the village, without being loaded onto a trailer.
What sets it apart from a skid steer loader is the transmission. It has a torque converter, a gearbox with two forward and two reverse gears, a cardan shaft and drive axles, plus a 100% differential lock on both the front and rear axles, so it does not get stuck in mud or when climbing a pile of gravel. Steering is hydraulic, with a 35° steering angle, and the minimum turning radius is 2,150 mm.
The standard engine is a Changchai ZN390Q diesel, vertical, inline, four-stroke and water-cooled, rated at 25 kW (33.5 hp). If you prefer a Japanese engine, the machine can be ordered with a Kubota V1505 (Euro 5/EPA4). The two tanks, 60 litres of diesel and 60 litres of hydraulic oil, are sized for long shifts, at a working pressure of 16 MPa.
Standard equipment includes the 0.5 m³ bucket, which lifts 1,000 kg up to 3,500 mm and dumps from 2,200 mm, cab heating and a reversing camera. The standard tyres are 31x15.5-15, and 400/60-15.5 can be ordered for soft ground. Overall dimensions are 4,500 x 1,650 x 2,500 mm, at a weight of 2,500 kg.
