Kubota’s collaboration with Dutch manufacturer Tobroco Giant has yielded the firm’s first telescopic pivot-steer loader.

The RT305T-2 joins an existing line-up of wheel loaders and a compact rigid machine, helping bolster the firm’s offering to stock farms.

Key credentials include a 1.2t lift capacity, a lift height of 4.3m and a maximum horizontal reach of 3m with a 750kg load.

A four-cylinder, 65hp Kubota engine provides the power, which is teamed with a two-speed hydrostatic transmission that delivers respective top speeds of 15kph and 30kph.

Carraro axles are driven by driveshafts, giving it permanent four-wheel drive, and there are diff locks front and rear to provide added traction. Retail prices start at just under £60,000.
