Comparison Table for the TURBOFARMER

E.A.S - Electronic Active Suspension

With the simple BSS, any bumps are transmitted into the chassis, then absorbed by the boom accumulator.

The EAS uses the frame levelling cylinders to support the front axle. A series of nitrogen/oil accumulators are controlled by electronics and provide full axle suspension.

Boom sideshift – a Merlo exclusive!
The integral chassis sideshift mechanism gently swings the upper part of the chassis, and with it, the telescopic boom across the longitudinal axis of the machine. The load can be precisely placed without repositioning the machine. Using the sideshift mechanism in no way detracts from the performance or stability of the TURBOFARMER as it is an integral part of the design, not a mere attachment,
Frame levelling
Acting hydraulically upon the front axle, frame levelling allow the chassis to be tilted relative to the front axle, ensuring truly vertical lift on uneven surfaces. There is a maximum adjustment of +/-10%.

Load-Sensing hydraulic circuits

Many of the 2005 series of TurboFarmers have the advantages of a ‘Load-sensing’ hydraulic system, which has been commonplace on larger, construction handlers for some time.

The simpler gear pump driven systems are perfectly satisfactory for many farm applications.  However, the use of more and more attachments that require continuous hydraulic flow - eg bale wrappers - has led to a need for greater flow rates.

It would be very wasteful to have a huge engine merely to drive the hydraulics, so ‘Load-sensing’ is the answer. A much larger flow pump can be used (150 l/min in the case of these TurboFarmers), which means that speed of operation is much increased.

However, when a load is applied, a management system reduces the flow rate to match the available power of the engine.

Other advantages include a smoother, lower engine speed operation and a reduction in fuel consumption, even when idling!

This model has Load sensing and flow sharing

LSFS - the same pump feeds a ‘Flow-
sharing’ valve block with fully electronic and proportional control of all services.  Service motion mirrors exactly the movement of the controls, whatever the load imposed on any service.
