Multifarmer 30.6 Top 2 Merlo Telehandler Specs & Dimensions (2002 - 2014)

Greatest manoeuvrability

Merlo's design concept integrates all the components, and results in exceptionally compact machine. A powerful engine uses the resulting excellent manoeuvrability and precision to best effect.

Specialisation in Telescopic Handlers

In Merlo, our specialisation in telescopic handlers guarantees continuing research into even the smallest details of design and production.

Outstanding versatility

The front tool-holder carriage, complete with its Tac-Lock hydraulic locking system, ensures instant interchange of attachments - directly controlled from the cab.

Full power PTO

The rear mechanical PTO provides two speed ratios (540 and 1000 rpm), for the operation of powered agriculture implements.

Maximum accessibility

The side mounted engine and careful positioning of the transmission and hydraulic systems ensures excellent accessibility and facilitates maintenance. Service personnel can operate in total safety with their feet firmly on the ground.

Two-speed option for high performance

The rear PTO has two speeds (540 and 1000 rpm) and a 6-spline shaft, in order to fully exploit the engine power and operate a wide range of agricultural implements for harrowing, sowing, sprinkling, mowing, shredding, and spreading.

Optional front PTO

To operate front attached equipment, an optional mechanical front PTO is also available - which operates at 1000 rpm with a 6-spline shaft.

Additional hydraulic services

Two hydraulic services are rear mounted on all models (with a third optional service also available) with quick-connector couplings.

Side-mounted engine

The MULTIFARMER range is fitted with a water-cooled 4-cylinder Deutz low emission (Euro 2) aftercooled turbo engine rated at 85 kW (115 Hp) at 2400 rpm. It provides both high power and enhanced torque through its entire operating range. The engine is mounted on the right side of the chassis, ensuring safe, easy access and maintenance from ground level. Access is further enhanced by its ability to be swung sideways out from under the engine cowling. Once again, Merlo innovation has been the first to adopt this high-tech solution to easy maintenance.

Four wheel braking

Transmission braking is immediately available, simply by releasing the accelerator pedal. In addition, 4 large hydraulic service disc brakes are located on the exit shafts of the differential, inside the axle casings. The braking system has two independent hydraulic circuits for safety and ease of operation. When tractor homologation is required, the machine is fitted with a suitable trailer braking system. An independent disk parking brake is located on the main transmission shaft. It is a spring operated automatic locking type which is unlocked on subsequent start-up. The operator is however free to operate the lock function according to when required.

Three steering modes

The four drive wheels are all steered using a hydraulic servo-assisted system. The operator has a choice of three steering modes, as well as automatic wheel re-synchronisation in the event of misalignment. Front wheel steer (for road use). All wheel steer (for best manoeuvrability). Crab steer (for sideway motion).

A simple, yet reliable hydraulic capacity

The rear hydraulic linkage has a load capacity of 4300 kg, making it ideal for the handling of even heavy implements; operated by external button controls located behind the cab.

BSS suspension system

The BSS suspension system includes hydro-pneumatic accumulators which act on the hydraulic lifting cylinder of the telescopic boom; providing an effective dampening action against any strain transmitted to the payload during travel.

The telescopic boom

The two sections comprising the telescopic boom (three in the case of MULTIFARMER 30.9) are constructed of U-shaped steel fabrications welded together longitudinally in the vicinity of their neutral axis. The hydraulic extension mechanism provides simultaneous and progressive extension or retraction of all hydraulic sections. All parts of the extension mechanism, its hydraulic hoses and electrical cables, are mounted internally within the boom to provide the greatest protection against accidental damage.

Towing homologation

All available models are homologated within Europe as farm tractors, with trailer towing capacity of up to 20 tonnes where permitted by national road regulations.

Outstanding safety

The standard (key selected) longitudinal stability control device locks the telescopic boom if the machine's stability limits are approached.

Safety Features

It is an integral part of all safety systems. It provides a clear and comprehensive data display. It is an advanced remote diagnostics instrument. It is an anti-theft immobiliser. The control software offers a variety of different interactive operation and technical menus which can be selected according to the activity intended.

Total safety

The longitudinal stability control system includes a key-operated function that activates an automatic lockout if the movements of the boom approach stability limit levels. The operator is also notified with audible and visual warning signals.

Excellent ground clearance

The 'portal' type axles, designed and built by Merlo, ensure better ground clearance than traditional designs and were conceived exclusively for use on Merlo telescopic handlers.

Easy access

Cab access is by means of a fully-opening, two section door (the upper section can be locked open), and is further facilitated by self-cleaning steps. The floor is flat and obstacle-free.
