“Would you like to try my Weidemann T4512?” More or less with this phrase, three years ago, the Weidemann dealer for the province of Cremona proposed to Giovanni Bianchessi, owner of the livestock farm “Bianchessi Giuseppe e Figli”, to directly test the operational capabilities of the German loader for a few days. Compact in size and limited in engine performance, 25 or 45 horsepower depending on the engine unit it is equipped with, the proposal initially did not generate great enthusiasm, but it was accepted nonetheless.

Three years later, that machine is still on the farm and has accumulated over four thousand hours of work. “We use it every day and continuously,” says Giovanni Bianchessi, co-owner of the farm, “and not a day goes by without it surprising us by handling tasks that strained the previous telehandler, despite it being credited with superior performance. Being compact, it fits everywhere, is easy to manage, you get in and out without problems, and it offers quick arm response times even when pushed to its limits. Thanks to these qualities, it practically alone meets the maintenance needs of the barns that house our 700 dairy cows, leaving our eight tractors free to operate in open fields.”
Any problems in these three years? “Mechanically, none. We take great care of our equipment, adhering to the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines, which in this case are very easy to carry out. We had some trouble with the control unit, but Weidemann’s assistance promptly intervened, replacing the part in just a few minutes and under warranty.”
Satisfied then? “Certainly, so much so that having acquired a new farm in the area and therefore needing a more structured loader to handle heavy work, we recently purchased a second Weidemann, a T7042, another machine that is proving to be agile, manageable, and easy to operate. It arrived last month and currently has only 140 hours of work, but it is also demonstrating remarkable operational capabilities as well as superior working comfort.”
