Small is small, there’s no denying it. The new “Mini Agri 20.4 Smart” compact by Dieci, with its width of one and a half meters, combined with a length of just three and a half meters and a height slightly over one meter and ninety centimeters, certainly doesn’t give the impression of being a giant or of being able to withstand heavy and continuous use. In reality, this is precisely its true nature: that of an agricultural telehandler built to endure prolonged efforts and, therefore, capable of operating on multiple shifts to serve farms, warehouses, and sheds—environments where it can demonstrate agility that is off-limits to agricultural tractors of similar size. Like all telehandlers, it is indeed equipped with an all-wheel steering system that, combined with a wheelbase of only 225 centimeters, allows it to maneuver with outer turning radii of around three meters and an electro-hydraulic reverser that works even under load—two components that, together with a single-speed hydrostatic transmission, make the machine extremely responsive to commands and quick in steering responses.
Three-cylinder Kubota with 50 horsepower
A behavior that is closely linked, of course, to the engine’s generosity: a three-cylinder turbocharged Kubota engine with a displacement of 1,800 cubic centimeters, delivering 50 horsepower at 2,700 rpm, with a maximum torque of 150 newton-meters achieved at 1,600 rpm.
Known for its reliability, the engine is installed under a fully opening hood, making it immediately accessible for maintenance operations while also facilitating any interventions on the onboard hydraulics.
You work with one hand
The hydraulic system is designed with a circuit capable of delivering almost 94 liters of oil per minute, thus enabling quick but gradual and well-controlled extensions and retractions. This is aided by the presence of a proportional and multifunction joystick, which allows the operator to control the work with one hand. It manages forward and reverse movements as well as the arm and any installed equipment with millimeter precision.
Maximum operational precision
An objective that the company has pursued by also incorporating the inching pedal, which allows for micrometric movements even when the accelerator is in full throttle, to handle demanding work activities. These include the swinging of loads up to the maximum capacity of 2,000 kilograms at the maximum height of over four meters.
Automotive-style cabin
Two of the best features offered by Dieci telehandlers are the high level of working comfort and the ease of handling. The small “Mini Agri 20.4 Smart” is no exception, and even though the living space is necessarily limited, it still accommodates its operators in a quiet environment, well-insulated from vibrations and well-ventilated. Access is also immediate, as the floor is just over twenty centimeters from the ground, and once inside, there is excellent visibility in all directions. These advantages are complemented by interiors featuring a pleasant and modern design that closely resembles automotive designs, but without compromising the robustness and ease of cleaning that a real agricultural machine must have. This also aligns with the safety features, which are fundamentally based on an engine lock system in case the operator is not on board and a system that stops any dangerous movements when the machine is operating at the limit of its stability.
