Modern farming is a game of efficiency, where maximizing all available time in a day is critical. From sunup to sundown, today’s agricultural professionals are asked to move seamlessly between feeding livestock, hauling materials, tending fields and maintaining equipment. Instead of investing in a separate machine for every task, global farmers are increasingly turning to equipment that can do more.
That’s where Merlo telehandlers stand apart. With a single platform designed for flexibility and durability, these machines bring unmatched efficiency to the field, the barn and beyond.
One Machine, Multiple Farming Jobs
Merlo America’s MultiFarmer range is engineered with agriculture at its core. Unlike conventional telehandlers, these models come equipped with a mechanical PTO and a 3-point rear linkage, enabling them to power traditional farm implements. Farmers can quickly shift from loading hay bales to pulling a manure spreader or running a grain auger — all with the same machine.
This dual capability makes the MultiFarmer line a powerful solution for operations that want to minimize equipment clutter and maximize efficiency. By combining the performance of a telehandler with the versatility of a tractor, farmers reduce downtime, cut maintenance costs and keep their focus where it belongs: on productivity.
What makes the MultiFarmer really shine is the ability to operate these two functionalities simultaneously in the same machine. This dual-attachment dual-operation provides the ability to perform the work of two machines at one time from the comfort of our air-conditioned and enclosed cab.
Smarter Attachment Swaps
No two tasks on the farm are alike, and the right attachment can make all the difference. Merlo’s Automatic Attachment Recognition, the telehandler identifies the tool in use and adjusts settings accordingly. Whether swapping from forks to a bucket or from a bale grab to a silage cutter, farmers can complete tasks more efficiently and with less hassle
Coupled with the Tac-Lock system, Merlo simplifies this process by allowing operators to secure and release attachments directly from the cab. That means no wasted time manually stepping in and out of the machine to line things up. The result is not just convenience, but also consistency. Every attachment is optimized to work safely and efficiently while updating the machine load charts in the cab.

Stability on Every Terrain
Agriculture rarely offers smooth ground. From rutted fields to gravel lanes, operators need equipment that can keep pace. Merlo telehandlers deliver with three steering modes — front-wheel, all-wheel and crab steer — giving operators precise control in tight barns, across muddy fields, or when aligning to a trailer.
Underneath it all, Merlo’s robust chassis construction provides durability, while underbody plating acts like armor to shield critical systems from debris, rocks and other hazards commonly encountered on the farm. This extra layer of defense helps ensure long-term reliability, even in the toughest environments. For operators, that peace of mind means less time worrying about machine downtime and more time getting work done.
Built for the Demands of Modern Farming
Farming is about maximizing resources, and Merlo telehandlers are designed to help do just that. By combining tractor-like power, rapid attachment changes and terrain-ready stability, Merlo machines reduce downtime and keep operations moving.
The result? Farmers can accomplish more with less — less capital expenditure, less equipment cluttering the farm and less time wasted switching between machines. That’s versatility reimagined for agriculture.
