MultiCat Wheel Loaders for Farming and Agriculture
Farming in New Zealand means long days, unpredictable weather, and an endless list of jobs that all need doing yesterday. MultiCat machines are built for exactly this reality. Compact, powerful, and backed by 171+ quick-change attachments, a single MultiCat wheel loader handles the work that would otherwise need a tractor, a telehandler, a post driver, and a separate mower.
One machine. One operator. The whole job list, sorted.
Built for Real NZ Farm Conditions
NZ farms are not flat, dry paddocks with perfect access roads. They are muddy laneways in the Waikato, steep hill country in Canterbury, boggy feed pads in Taranaki, and tight gateways in the Bay of Plenty. MultiCat wheel loaders are built for all of it.
The LX100 2-Ton Wheel Loader runs a 4x4 drivetrain with 56 horsepower and sits on 20.5-16 tractor-grip tyres. At just 1.6m wide, it fits through standard farm gates and along narrow laneways where larger machines simply cannot go. Its 2,000 kg tare weight keeps it stable on uneven ground, and its 3m turning radius means you can work in tight yards and around buildings without getting stuck.
For heavier operations, the LX150 3-Ton adds more muscle for bigger loads. And the LX250T Telescopic delivers 5.2 metres of reach for stacking bales, loading trucks, and working at height, all without the six-figure price tag of a dedicated telehandler.
Dairy Farming
Dairy operations run on tight schedules, and every hour spent on machinery juggling is an hour lost from milking, feeding, and herd management. A MultiCat streamlines the daily routine.
Fit the silage grab or silage reclaimer and handle feed-out efficiently. Swap to the 4-in-1 bucket for cleaning yards and shifting material around the dairy shed. Mount the forks for moving pallets of supplement, chemicals, or building supplies. By afternoon, switch to the post driver and sort that fencing job you have been putting off.
One machine replaces the tractor-and-loader combo, the telehandler hire, and the contractor call-outs. That is real money saved, every week.
Sheep and Beef
On sheep and beef properties, the workload is spread across huge areas and the terrain is rarely forgiving. MultiCat's 35 km/h top speed means you can move between jobs across the property quickly, and the compact footprint handles races, yards, and hill tracks without tearing up the ground.
Use the bale grab for round hay bales during supplementary feeding. The flail mower handles paddock topping and rough pasture. The auger drills post holes for new fencing runs. And the log grapple clears fallen timber after storms, keeping lanes and waterways open.
Cropping and Horticulture
Cropping operations need precise ground work and efficient material handling. The rotary tiller prepares seedbeds, the leveler ensures even grading, and the sieve bucket screens soil for planting areas. For orchards and vineyards, the compact footprint lets you work between rows without damaging crops or irrigation.
Why Farmers Are Choosing MultiCat Over Bigger Brands
Let us be straight about it. Competitor compact loaders with similar capabilities to the LX100 start at $55,000 to $70,000 or more. Some telescopic loaders push well past $100,000. The MultiCat LX100 starts from $25,990+GST. The LX250T Telescopic starts from $59,990+GST.
That is not a compromise on capability. It is a smarter approach to machinery design: build it tough, build it simple, keep the cost down, and let the 171+ attachment ecosystem deliver the versatility. Every dollar you save on the purchase price is a dollar that stays in the farm budget.
Add flexible finance through Finance NZ and the weekly payment on an LX100 is less than most single-day machine hire rates. You own the machine. It works every day. No hire fees. No availability issues. No returning it on Friday.
