Abstract: A vehicle designed to be operated either as a lifting machine or as an agricultural tractor, comprising a bearing structure with motor-driven wheels, a control and driving cab, a telescopically extendable and retractable lifting boom arranged on one side of the control and driving cab and swingable relative to the bearing structure around a transverse axis located at the front end of the lifting boom, whose rear end carries a three-point hitch for agricultural implements to be operated by a rear power take-off. The lifting boom itself provides a power-lift for agricultural implements.

Abstract: A drive train comprises an internal combustion engine, a clutchless gearbox, which can be shifted by means of an electronic control unit and by means of actuating devices, without a mechanical synchronizing device, and a hydrostatic gearbox with a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor, which are connected in a closed circuit. The rotational speed of the hydraulic motor being controllable in dependence on a control signal to the adjusting device of the hydraulic pump and/or to the adjusting device of the hydraulic motor. The control unit calculates the control signal by means of setpoint input via an accelerator pedal or as a function of the rotational drive speed of the internal combustion engine, with shifting of the transmission stages being possible by means of the actuating devices.

Abstract: A vehicle having a lifting boom, comprising a load-carrying frame (12) having a front section (12a) and a rear section (12b), a lifting boom (18) extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and articulated to the frame (12) in the rear section (12b), an operating and driving cab (28) placed on a side of the vehicle (18) and an internal combustion engine placed on the opposite side of the boom (18) with respect to the operating cab (28). The rear section (12b) of the frame has a platform on which a lifting device is mounted, in particular operatively associated to a three-point hitch, whereby the vehicle can be used also as an agricultural machine.
