Debut for Tanco loader
Debut for Tanco loader
AFTER the joint venture between Tanco and tractor loader manufacturer Trima last year the first Tanco loader made its appearance at the Farm Machinery Show.
Designated the 260, which now replaces the Trima 265 model, the geometry is such that its business end is closer to the front of the tractor. Higher lift capacities of modern loaders, reasons its manufacturer, calls for front projection to be reduced to allow a sensible weight distribution for the tractor.
Even so, the 260 has a lift height of 3.75m – depending of tractor tyre size – and a rated lift capacity of 1250kg. Double acting lift and crowd rams are included in the specification although a parallel geometry is not. For this latter feature, Tanco offers the 360 model.
The Tanco 260 loader, which is designed for use with 100hp tractors, is due to be launched in to the UK market later this year. *
