Since its launch on the Lynx stand at LAMMA earlier this year, the brand new STOLL ProfiLine ISOBUS-Connected front loader has been generating lots of interest and positive feedback from dealers and customers alike, reflected in a growing order book.

A front loader like no other, the hydraulically controlled Stoll ISOBUS Connected loader system requires no specific loader or mid mount valves on the tractor. Instead, it delivers full integration of the front loader controls with the tractor system via the tractor’s onboard joystick and ISOBUS terminal. Once installed, as many as 12 additional functions become available (see below), selectable via the tractor’s display terminal and set according to parameters defined by the operator.
The benefits of the new front loader are not solely reserved for operators of larger tractors. The loader’s appeal is much wider than that. We are expecting strong demand from customers operating tractors from 120hp upwards for whom ISOBUS functionality can be specified as an option for other farm machinery operations such as diet feeders and fertiliser spreaders.
Programmed to power through your workload
Having a loader that can weigh meal and add up total weights could be a distinct advantage. In addition, programmable working heights, working windows and repeatable operations can improve tractor/loader and operator productivity on a daily basis. These benefits and more will be particularly attractive to customers in the contractor sector where lifting and loading are an everyday occurrence. For silage contractors who wrap and stack bales, being able to program the squeeze pressure of the bale handler on the bale without deformation will also be a key feature.
Quick and relatively straightforward installation is another plus. Fitting the loader and connecting it with a tractor’s existing ISOBUS control platform should usually take substantially less time in the workshop compared with a typical assembly routine requiring a separate, dedicated loader control system, joystick and hydraulics.
Stoll ProfiLine ISOBUS-Connected functions
Teach-In
Automatically enables individual movement sequences of the lift arm and tool to be programmed in, saved and called up for future repeated movement cycles.
Pressure Regulation
This function enables convenient and safe use of a bale grab, as the clamping force can be individually limited. The control unit regulates the hydraulic pressure in the 3rd function via the valve to a pre-defined value. This function also prevents overloading, e.g. due to jamming, of a hydraulic actuator.
Load Independent Lowering Speed
This function maintains the same lowering and lifting speed irrespective of the load by automatically adjusting the return oil flow to suit the weight of the implement.
Return to Position
Tool and swing arm can be automatically steered into pre-selected positions at the touch of a button for faster repeat loading cycles.
Ramp Function
Enables pre-selection of the desired working reaction speed. Ramp time is defined as the time that elapses from initial joystick movement to full movement of the control piston. This function is load-independent.
Working Window
A real bonus when working in confined spaces or barns with low headroom, this function limits the tipping angle of the attachment and the lifting height of the lift arm by electronically adjusting the end points.
Load Weighing
Accurately calculates weights to make loading a feeder, for example, a quicker, easier process. Works by deducting the pre-calibrated and saved weight of the tool in use from the total weight shown on the display to give an exact measurement.
Vibration Damping
This adjustable, load-independent system comes into its own when travelling along uneven road surfaces. It works by deploying the loader attachment as a mass absorber via a switchable accumulator. This dampens the vibrations of the vehicle body accordingly. The loader attachment can also be isolated from the body, reducing vibrations transferred to it from the chassis.
Electronic Flow Sharing
This enables the smooth switching and mixing of functions including the Stoll Real 3rd function by automatically adjusting pump volumes to optimum levels.
End-Position Cushioning
Prevents harsh and sudden braking movements of the loader attachment when reaching the cylinder end position. By automatically calculating the kinetic energy and determining the required deceleration distance the approach to the end position is gentle yet dynamic.
Bucket Shake
If material gets stuck in the bucket, the shaking function can be activated. The bucket is moved back and forth quickly, and the material falls out leaving nothing behind. The duration can be adjusted.
Electronic Hydraulic Parallel Levelling (FS+ models only)
High precision and rapid emptying are the main benefits of this function. With parallel guidance, the implement is automatically held in the defined position when the front loader is moved up and down. The angle to the ground is automatically corrected so that the position of the implement in relation to the ground remains the same.
