TLE Series

Ransomes Jacobsen, the Ipswich-based distributor of Iseki tractors and mowers, has introduced the first product in the new series of TLE tractors, ideal for municipal, contractor grounds maintenance applications and light agricultural or equestrian use.

The TLE3400 is Iseki’s new Premium Economy tractor. The tractor is powered by a 38 horsepower 3-cylinder diesel engine, which operates at 2600rpm. Like all Iseki diesel engines, these power plants have been designed to provide high output and torque with reduced emissions.

The single piece bonnet provides easy accessibility to the engine compartment and as such, the battery, radiator, dipstick and filter are all able to be easily maintained. The operator platform is spacious and ergonomic; all main operating levers are mounted within easy reach and are colour coded for clear distinction. The heavy rubber platform mat reduces vibration and provides superior grip.

The Iseki TLE3400 features a three-speed hydrostatic transmission system. Speed and direction can be controlled effortlessly using a single pedal, allowing an increase or decrease in speed within the range selected. A choice of agricultural or turf tyres are available as standard.

The TLE3400 also features power steering, a fuel capacity of 43 litres and a lift capacity of 1000 kg at the link ends. A front loader is available as an optional extra and a range of attachments can be used, making the TLE3400 suitable for a myriad of applications.

Iseki TG6490 IQ

The TG6490 IQ is part of the wider TG6 series and features the proven four-cylinder Iseki engine. The TG6490 IQ utilises the new IQ Dual-Clutch transmission system which has three ranges, each with eight forward/reverse gears. The dual clutches allow quick and smooth gear changes without the need to use the main clutch. There is also an automatic mode which utilises the top five gears (changing automatically) especially useful when towing or on the public highway.

The contoured nose provides a clear view to the front of the machine; modern combination switches and controls have been employed and there’s a high quality, soft feel steering wheel, hydrostatic power steering and smooth two-mode adjustable PTO engagement. The main controls are located in a console on the right-hand side of the operator platform and a “feather touch” electronic shuttle lever controlling forward/backward travel is located on the steering column.

The lift capacity is an impressive 1,700Kg and optional mid-mounted side discharge rotary cutting decks are available with 1.52 metres (60”) and 1.83 metre (72”) cutting widths.

The TG6490 IQ is available with ROPS or an air-conditioned cab. A front loader joystick, three-speed PTO, electronic position and draft control, up stop PTO and linkage up in reverse are all supplied as standard.
