Weidemann claims its new T6025 telehandler model’s low two-metre (6.56-foot) overall height makes it ideal for working in farm buildings such as poultry and dairy barns.
Despite the unit’s low overall height, the driver’s seating position is high in the cab. Coupled with a large windshield, low side window on the right side and a low hood design, the operator still has good vision around the machine.
Powered by a 75-horsepower Perkins Stage V diesel engine, the T6025 relies on a diesel particulate filter and oxidization catalyst rather than DEF for emissions reduction. A 75-litre per minute hydraulic pump gives it the ability to operate powered boom attachments.

The ecDrive electronically-controlled drivetrain offers three different operating modes. An Eco mode allows lower engine r.p.m., to reduce fuel consumption. The M-Drive mode lets an operator manually select the engine r.p.m. and independently control the speed of the machine with the right foot pedal.
The unit’s overall lift height is 6.1 metres (20 feet) and maximum load is 2.5 tonnes (5,512 lbs.).
The T6025 has three different steering modes: front-wheel, crab and four-wheel. A boom control feature smooths out the ride for loads in the bucket, to help prevent spillage.
Two editions of the T6025 are being introduced in the Canadian market: the Pro edition and the Expert edition. The Expert edition has additional options including an automatic bucket return mode, which brings the bucket back to a pre-saved position and angle using a button on the joystick.
There is also a bucket shaking function on the Expert edition to make it easier to empty a load. Additionally, there is a tipping cylinder lock to assist in transporting heavy goods, and a rear-view camera. To make the T6025 even more useful on the farm, the Expert edition has rear hydraulic couplers.
