The Bobcat TL38.70HF Agricultural Telehandler is built for agricultural operations where telehandler work is no longer occasional.
It suits farms handling heavier loads, higher stacking, and sustained daily use where stability, power, and control matter more than compact size.
Common issues include:
At this stage, compact or mid-size machines can still function — but only with compromise.
The problem usually isn’t reach alone.
It’s capacity at reach, stability, and duty cycle.
Typical operations include:
The TL38.70HF delivers a step up in lifting performance while remaining predictable and composed in agricultural environments.
Just as importantly, we’ll tell you when this model is more than you need.
Delecca’s has supplied and serviced agricultural telehandlers across central Victoria for over 40 years, supporting farming operations throughout Bendigo, regional Victoria, and southern New South Wales.
Our agricultural telehandler specialists work directly with farmers to match machines to real-world farm requirements, not just specifications.
From dairy and livestock operations to cropping and intensive agriculture, we understand how agricultural telehandlers integrate into daily farm workflows across different farming systems.
Before stepping into a higher-capacity telehandler, it’s worth checking four practical factors:
If these points reflect your operation, the Bobcat TL38.70HF is often the right match.
It delivers:
With a 7.0-metre lift height, 3,800 kg rated lift capacity, and a 130 hp Perkins engine, the TL38.70HF is built to work hard without feeling unsettled.
This is a machine designed to carry workload, not just capability on paper.
Getting this distinction right early avoids costly changes later.
When the telehandler matches the workload:
When it doesn’t:
Choosing correctly once matters more at this level.
The Bobcat TL38.70HF agricultural telehandler delivers a 7-metre maximum lift height with 3,800 kg rated capacity, powered by a 130 hp Perkins engine for demanding farm operations.
Available in two configurations — Standard Cab (2,457 mm height with 400/80-24 tyres) for general agricultural use, and Agri Expert (460/70R24 XMCL agricultural tyres) configured for maximum traction, comfort, and long-hour agricultural work — the TL38.70HF includes smart joystick control, automatic boom suspension with float mode, air-conditioned cabin, and LED road pack as standard.
With an operating weight of 7,460 kg, limited-slip differential axles for improved traction, and purpose-built features like prefilter protection and auxiliary hydraulic control, the TL38.70HF handles intensive agricultural workloads across Australian farming operations.
The Agri Expert configuration adds a heated Grammer air suspension seat, 7″ Bluetooth display, rotating tow hitch, and lunchbox storage for all-day farm productivity.
All other specifications and features match the Standard Cab configuration.
All Bobcat Agricultural Telehandlers supplied by Delecca’s come with a 2 year / 2,000 hour bumper-to-bumper warranty, covering the machine end to end for manufacturing defects and faults.
This warranty is backed by local parts availability and factory-trained technicians, so support is close at hand when it matters.
The TL38.70HF suits farms where handling work is no longer occasional and heavier loads are part of daily operations.
It’s commonly used in intensive livestock systems, higher stacking environments, and larger yards where capacity, reach, and stability matter more than compact size.
If the telehandler is central to how work gets done, this model is often a strong fit.
You may need to step up if lift heights continue to increase, loads regularly exceed this machine’s comfort zone, or work shifts further toward large-scale outdoor handling.
Farms pushing the TL38.70HF close to its limits most days are usually ready to consider the next size up.
Farms using the TL38.70HF daily almost always lean toward ownership, as it becomes a core production machine.
Hire can suit short-term workload spikes or seasonal demands, but at this level of use, ownership often delivers better long-term value. If you’re leaning toward buying, our telehandlers for sale page covers pricing expectations and how to get the conversation started.
