Agricultural logistics: Services in agriculture
Agricultural logistics and contractors are playing an increasingly important role in agriculture.
Services are also becoming increasingly important in the agricultural sector: while farmers used to carry out almost all tasks on their own, there are now more and more companies that specialize in specific areas of work. These include agricultural logistics companies that ensure the smooth transportation of agricultural goods over long distances. However, agricultural service providers also include contractors who provide machinery and manpower during labor-intensive phases such as the harvest season.
Machines for agricultural logistics and contractors
If you want to work as a service provider in agriculture, you need the right machines. These should be particularly reliable, as short-term breakdowns due to technical defects cost money. As contractors and agricultural logisticians are usually deployed where the farmer's machines can no longer make any progress, the focus is often on particularly powerful, state-of-the-art machines. In addition, roadworthiness and speed are two important factors when choosing a machine, as they are often on the road a lot from one job site to the next.
Loading technology in the agricultural industry
In addition to the demand for contractors, transport and in particular the loading process is a service that is increasingly being taken over by specialized companies. Whereas in the past almost all tasks were carried out by tractors, more and more companies are now relying on wheel loaders, telescopic handlers etc. to transfer goods. The advantages are obvious: depending on their size and design, these machines are not only equipped with a greater lifting capacity, but can also handle loading and storage at great heights or in narrow warehouses.

JCB Fastrac 4220 iCON
Tractor technology at truck standard - that is one of the main arguments in favor of the JCB Fastrac. Not only is the tractor with its four equally sized wheels and numerous attachment points suitable for almost all field work, making it incredibly attractive for contractors. Its strength lies particularly on the road: with top speeds of up to 60 km/h and ABS brakes, the Fastrac achieves top values on the asphalt. Thanks to its even weight distribution, the unique full suspension and the centrally mounted cab, field and transport work can be carried out with maximum working comfort.

The TM420 telescopic wheel loader from JCB combines the best of both worlds: With a lifting height of 5.45 m and a maximum rated lifting capacity of 4,100 kg, its lifting power can match that of a telehandler. At the same time, it has the overview and user-friendliness of a wheel loader thanks to the centrally positioned telescopic arm. This makes the machine perfect for loading and unloading trucks and trailers, but it can also be used for other agricultural tasks. With a top speed of 40 km/h and an 8-speed gearbox with torque converter lock-up, the machine is also ideal for transport work on the farm.
