Quicke Q-series demonstrates how clever engineering makes all the difference. These front loaders come with outstanding visibility, optimised work angles, and smooth and easy implement changes as just the start. Back all that up with the intelligence of Q-companion, and you just won’t find a more high-functioning, usable front loader.

Features
Q Link - Precise Self Levelling
Precise and automatic control of your implement position during lift and lowering of the loader Once the implement angle is set it stays in its position Extra strong Extra power Extra speed Simple and uncomplicated No loss of lift force out on the implement Curved and chamfered design for improved visibility
Cast & Forged Components - Unique strength
Cast and forged components are used at arm ends, at the “knee” and at the rear of the Q Link Gives extra strength and durability at crucial points on the loader Gives extra support to the bushings and pivot pins New cast link for the tool carrier with rollback limiting option by using an M16 bolt and washers if required. Required to be used on Euro/SMS tool carrier with some Euro hook hydraulic implements
Grease Nipples
All grease nipples are placed on the outside for easy access All grease nipples are protected under a plastic cover (no grease on your clothes) New design of the plastic cover with improved fastening solution No grease spread out on the bonnet or windscreens when washing the tractor No grease in the environment and pollution of crops
Implement Cylinder
Well proven and durable cylinder design High flow cylinder port design with bigger diameter and a new compact connection for less oil travel and a new high quality weld method Optimised oil flow and reduced pressure drop Efficient hydraulic system that generates less heat and saves valuable fuel
Q Central Valve
Protected on the cross tube and hidden under a high impact durable polymer cover Central distribution of the oil for even distribution to the cylinders Durable two-layer hoses Integrated shock valves 2 x 220 bar Scalable configuration to optimise to the customer demand
Soft Drive
Soft Drive (Option) Loader Suspensions Protected in the cross tube, no damage on hoses, pipes or accumulators 1/2 inch hoses from the block to the accumulators and on the plus side of the lift cylinder on Q5 and bigger loaders This equals good oil evacuation from the cylinders and allows for rapid oil flow and rapid response to any bumps in the road or in the field Electrical on/off Q3 – Q4L loader models have two accumulators, one working against plus side and one working against minus side on lifting cylinders Q5 – Q8M loader models have three accumulators, two working against plus side and one working against minus side on lifting cylinders 28 bar pre-load pressure on the plus side and 15 bar on the minus side. For good damping action and to optimise the life time of the accumulators
Clic-on - Mechanical implement locking with Clic-on function
Safe, ergonomic and automatic locking action (Clic-on) Only a correctly positioned implement can release the mechanics and activate locking action The centrally placed lever and side handle provides two ergonomic options with which to unlock the implement The side handle doubles as an indicator and gives a clear indication if it is in locked or unlocked position The mechanism and unlocking handles are protected by a plate and positioned safely inside the tool carrier All unlocking manoeuvres take place on the left side
Tool Carrier
Euro & Euro/SMS tool carriers are all new design Free-visibility design High torsional stiffness You see the implement hooks due to the 180 degree forward rotating tool carrier 1 - Turn the tool carrier forward so that it lines up with the loader arm 2 - The implement hooks can clearly be seen under the loader beam from the cab 3 - Visible attach gives maximum security to hook onto the implement correctly (no risk for damaging loader or implements) 4 - Crowd/rotate the tool carrier back to engage the Clic-on to lock or activate Q Lock 5 - For your safety! After locking the implement. Press the tip of the implement gently against the ground to double check that it is fully locked
Pivot Pins
Optimised pivot pin diameters for good force distribution on the bushing and joint Central grease distribution for good greasing of both sides Strong pivot pins with rigid hinged locking Locking hinge material improved to steel quality 355 from 235 New pivot locking on the pin in the most critical joint (cast link to tool carrier) Compact rubber disc to prevent axial play and keep the grease in the link All screws are fixed with Loctite Strong links, with excellent greasing, gives longer lifetime All pins are galvanised – no rust Extra grease nipples on the cast tool carrier link (protected)
Support Legs - Rock-steady support legs
The classic proven, functional and heavy-duty design for years Extra adjustment points Durable design with no loose pins Wide and moveable foot for best ground support Spring loaded locking under the beam Sits compact against the beam for good front tyre clearance No need for tools, no loose parts For quick and easy connect and disconnect of your Quicke loader
Cross Tube
Low placed cross tube for better visibility Round tube to optimise torsional durability/stiffness and weld quality Hides and protects SoftDrive inside the tube Carries and protects the central distribution valve unit and hydraulic options under the durable polymer cover Sight optimised design close to the beam for perfect visibility over/under and of the tool carrier Plenty of space for front hitch due to low placed cross tub, more wide beam options and hidden hydraulics
Loader Beam / Loader Boom - Unique strength
A good looking chamfered and embossed arm design to harmonise with the modern tractor and improve visibility Chamfered and 80 mm wide arm profile. Round and low placed cross-tube. All for best torsional force absorption and durability Fully automated state of the art welding process for unrivalled strength Prepared for bigger tasks and heavy work for years to come A loader beam that clearly displays strength
Lift Cylinder
Well proven and durable cylinder design Minus side, high flow port design with bigger diameter and a new connection for optimised oil flow and a new high quality weld method Plus side, high flow port with bigger diameter and a new design straight through the cylinder bottom Optimised oil flow and reduced pressure drop Gives excellent SoftDrive functionality Efficient hydraulic system that generates less heat and saves valuable fuel
Lock & Go
Well proven and time saving You cannot find an easier connect and disconnect system than Lock & Go There are no loose parts and no tools are required Simply connect and disconnect the loader with a minimum of effort Each locking pin has a green marker on the inside of the bearing box for a clear visual confirmation of pin engagement from driver’s position
Bearing Box
An all new design of the bearing box Strong profile-pressed steel in three widths. The wider top part provides stability, while the narrower lower part provides for short and strong locking by the Lock & Go. Short distance between “u” and beam pivot = stability Fully welded bearing box with integrated reinforcements Short 40 mm locking pin that carries no load during normal operations Optional extended bearing boxes are available for mechanical self levelling loader models only (Increases reach and allows extra space for front linkage, larger wheels and windscreens that open up forward)
Q Vision - Sight-optimising design
Curved arm with a low placed “knee” in combination with the low placed cross-tube gives, according to standard set in EU Directive 2008/2/EC, a 30% increase in field of vision when the loader is positioned 450 mm above ground in its transport position The cross-tube package is rotated 15 degrees towards the tractor to limit its effect on the field of vision No pipes or hoses that restrict your view No dirt or rubbish that can accumulate, even if you fit extra functions on your loader Apart from the angle sensors, all options are fully integrated
