Compact Telehandler Ideal for Farms and Low Clearance Locations
Having the biggest equipment isn’t always a good thing.
JCB’s 525-60 Agri Telehandler is designed to deliver strength, speed, and compact flexibility for farmers working in tight spaces.
This was the message that Brandon Hawkins, senior regional business manager with JCB, relayed to Farms.com when talking about its compact agri telehandler.
Powered by a 74-horsepower JCB by Kohler engine, the telehandler boasts a maximum lift capacity of 5,500 lbs and an impressive 20-foot reach.
Its compact size—6 feet wide and 6 feet 6 inches tall—allows it to easily navigate containers, semi-trailers, and poultry barns, where larger machines often cannot fit.
One standout feature of the 525-60 is that it requires no diesel exhaust fluid due to its engine rating.
The machine includes a piston hydraulic pump system, which enables faster cycle times and enhanced hydraulic power, making it ideal for running attachments such as brooms, windrowers, and defacers.
It also comes with a hydrostatic transmission, supporting top road speeds of up to 18 miles per hour.
A unique VariSpeed feature offers cruise control, letting users limit speed while maintaining higher RPMs. This is useful when operating hydraulic attachments, as it helps preserve power without using the brakes or throttle pedal constantly.
This telehandler offers versatility, comfort, and capability for a wide range of agricultural tasks, all in a compact, efficient package.
