Loaders join range
Loaders join range
TWO new tractor loaders join the range available from Chillton Agricultural Equipment. Described by the company as being the first of a Utility line, the MX55U is suitable for tractors up to 70hp, and the MX75U is for tractors in the 80/90hp bracket.
Both loaders use the Fitlock brackets employed in the existing MX range, and hydraulic hoses are attached to the Ecopilot valve mounted on the loader bracket.
Single/double acting lift rams are controlled by a joystick – pulling the stick back lifts the boom, pushing it forward allows the boom to drop under gravity. Moving the joystick further forward converts the system to double acting for digging purposes.
Lift capacity for the MX55U is rated at 1000kg to a height of about 3.65m, the MX75U copes with 1450kg to about the same height – tractor and tyre selection determines the exact lift height.
Options include a shock eliminator to improve ride quality on rough ground. Price of the MX55U complete with brackets for a 70hp tractor, is about £3000.
