New Holland expands its line of telescopic handlers with the compact TH6.26 model. The machine is equipped with a 73 Hp four-cylinder engine, which powers the 30 km/h single-speed hydrostatic transmission and the gear pump that provides an oil flow of 80 liters per minute at 210 bar of pressure. The maximum lifting height of up to 5.8 meters and the 155-degree rotation of the head allow the bucket and fork to be quickly loaded and emptied of manure. The dimensions of the telehandler - 1,955 mm high and 1,920 mm wide - have been designed by New Holland technicians to facilitate access to low buildings and move easily through narrow passages such as doors and rows. Its length of 4,120 mm and the wheelbase of 2,525 mm help its stability, while a turning radius of 3,250 mm improves maneuverability in the tightest spaces. Furthermore, at 4,700 kg the TH6.26 is 6% lighter than previous versions, reducing soil compaction to a minimum.

The new model can be equipped with an automatic 45% limited slip differential lock or a 100% hydraulic lock for maximum traction in all working conditions. Furthermore, the TH6.26 lift is supplied standard with a constant flow hydraulic system, with electronic control of the forward speed and with two driving modes: Automotive, to generate the maximum power needed by the lift and EcoSmart for maximum fuel efficiency.

The technologically advanced cabin has been designed to improve the operator's working conditions, thanks to the carbon filters (optional), especially useful in closed environments such as poultry farms. Other new cab features include push-button engine starting and customizable controls, with a touchscreen display showing engine, transmission and boom data, as well as DAB/Bluetooth radio, and control of work lights. The latter are operated by a multi-function lever on the steering column. Some of the more important optional features include a rear camera, which helps with maneuvering and hooking up a trailer. Finally, telematics allow the operator to monitor the location, performance and other functions of the machine with the New Holland FieldOps app.
