Evaluating Tech Providers Beyond The Product
As the dust settles after Fieldays, we're once again reminded of the sheer volume of technology now available to New Zealand dairy farmers.
Bound to find favour with dairy operations, particularly for herding duties, the CFlite 230 Dual comes ready for work from the get-go.
It has a single-cylinder, carburetted 230cc four-stroke, housed in a high-grade steel frame.
It makes power of 10.5kw and torque of 16.5Nm, mated to a 5-speed transmission that will offer a wide range of ratios for any jobs, while the 12-litre fuel tank should handle a good day’s work.
A wide, comfortable seat with an 840mm height will cater for all sizes of operator, while a 21-inch wheel up front and 18-inch wheel on the rear offer excellent ground clearance, enhanced by twin, telescopic hydraulic front struts and a single rear shock absorber. Stopping duties fall to single front and rear disc brakes.
It looks good in Tundra Grey, and the wide handlebars with rear-view mirrors offer easy and accurate direction changes, while incorporating a clear display for all key functions and LED lighting for the late shift or early mornings.
Standard equipment includes NZ-manufactured front and rear carriers, alongside handlebar and engine protectors, with the package protected with a 12-month warranty.
