Italian front linkage manufacturer Aries previewed the FL S3 Tele-End telescopic tractor loader at the Italian Eima show.
The concept differs to the Stoll X-Tra Lift telescopic front loader at Agritechnica 2023 in that the telescopic section is concealed within the front arms, while the Stoll system extends the main ones.
Providing up to 1.0m of extension, Aries says that this, together with up to 16 degrees of articulation in the mid-section, results in a simple and light weight solution. In the retracted position, the FL S3 reaches a maximum height of 3.79m. This increases to 4.13m fully extended, but does reduce the payload by around 600kg.
Designed for fitting to 80-120hp tractors, the company plans to use the next few months to test the concept and gauge potential customer. If it does make it to the production stage then the price could be up to 40% higher than a standard front loader.
