Ålö extending its Versa-X range of loaders

Ålö AB is now introducing an additional size of the already popular Versa-X front loader series. The new model is called the X16 and is the smallest member of the family. The X16 is intended for tractors producing approximately 30 to 60 hp, such as the New Holland TD 3.50 and the Case IH Farmall 55A. The expansion of the range is part of Ålö's strategy of adapting front loaders that are designed for every given size of tractor.

"This size of loader fulfils a part of the market situated between the traditional agricultural tractor and the fast-growing compact tractor segment. We can see that this area has the potential for growth in the future," says Urban Rönnqvist, Product Manager at Ålö. Ålö also wants to make it easy for anyone to adapt a front loader solution for each individual type of tractor. Just like the larger models, the X16 can be controlled using Ålö's LCS hydraulic valve system. The X16 can be equipped with 3rd function, SoftDrive, MC4 Multicoupler and Euro/Trima tool carrier and will be available in both Quicke and Trima versions, depending on the market.

"We must always be sensitive to the wishes of our customers and to trends on the tractor market, in order to provide our customers with the products that are best suited to their needs," says Niklas Åström, Sales & Marketing Director at Ålö.

The X16 will be available on the market during the first quarter of 2015.
