Ploughing debut for the new Merlo Turbofarmer

17 Aug , 2017  

The new Merlo Turbofarmer TF33.7 is one of the machines set to make its debut at the forthcoming National Ploughing Championships when it will be unveiled to Irish farmers for the first time by distributor McHale Plant Sales.

Also new from the Italian-made telehandler range will be the high-spec P27.6 Plus which features a 2,700kg lift capacity with a boom reach of 6 metres.

Sharing the spotlight on the McHale exhibit will be a number of models from the Zetor tractor portfolio including the 120 Proxima Power and the entry-level 80hp Major.

From Komatsu, models being showcased will include the WA320-7 wheel loader (with high-tip bucket) which has become increasingly popular with agricultural contractors and the WA270-7 and WA200-8 – both in full agri spec and featuring fold-out rakes, for the first time at the Ploughing. Other Komatsu machines on display will include a PC138US-11 heavy-duty excavator and a wide selection from their midi and mini digger series.

Pointing to their diverse product offering coupled with an expert team on hand to discuss rental, lease and purchase options, McHale Plant Sales general manager Denis McGrath says their exhibit is likely to have “something to appeal to everyone”.
