02 WEIDEmANN magazine COVER EDITORIAL WEIDEmANN magazine 03 The little giant There's always work that needs doing on the farm, especially for a <strong>Weidemann</strong>. The 1250 CX35 gets heavy work done quickly, easily and comfortably. Like all <strong>Weidemann</strong> all-rounders, it is tailored to the demands of the people who use it: compact dimensions for narrow stable doors, a differential lock for high thrust forces, enormous lifting heights despite a small-scale design, the ability to change tools without leaving the cabin and much, much more. The machine has the performance and manoeuvrability for any application. It's a real jack of all trades, suitable for agricultural use, horse riding, municipal projects and several other applications.

Dear Readers, I have been following the rapid development of information and communication technology with fascination. Manufacturers want to squeeze as much power as they can into the smallest device possible. It feels like there's a new breakthrough every few months. Sound familiar. It does to me. That's what <strong>Weidemann</strong> has been doing for over 50 years. Ever since the company was founded, its mission has been to take pressure off farmers by mechanising farmyard work. This was such a groundbreaking idea when <strong>Weidemann</strong> first started, that it took a while for the Hoftrac ® to become a cult loader for the agricultural sector. But once the ice was broken, <strong>Weidemann</strong> started its victory parade and hasn't looked back since. The way I see it, the more demanding the requirements for something are, the more complex and compact it tends to get. To stay successful, you have to be able to meet challenges head on. That's no problem for <strong>Weidemann</strong>, as our comprehensive, specialised and cutting edge range of loaders shows. I hope you enjoy this issue of the <strong>Weidemann</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> and find something new, exciting and interesting on these pages.
