Stock farmers fancying the lift capacity of Quicke’s premium Q-series loaders but without the expensive frills can now buy exactly that.

The new N-series is a stripped-back, utility-spec model that goes without features such as load weighing, a hose quick coupler and hydraulic locking pins, which knocks about £1,500 off the cost of an equivalent Q.

However, most of those features can be specced, allowing buyers to be pickier about what they spend their money on.

Retail price for the pictured N5 with a mechanical control kit is £11,180.

This is designed for 100-180hp tractors, has a from-the-ground lift capacity of just under 2.2t, and a maximum lift height of 3.75m.
