Stack Higher, Load Smarter, Reach Farther With JLG® AG Telehandlers on Your Farm
Nov 18, 2025
In agriculture, efficiency isn't just a goal, it’s a necessity. Every hour counts, and every task demands the right equipment. That’s why more and more farmers and ranchers are turning to JLG® AG telehandlers, not just for their rugged performance and versatility, but for their standout reach height and forward outreach capabilities.
These features are redefining how agricultural operations handle high-lift, long-reach tasks with greater safety, speed and precision.
Why Reach and Outreach Make All the Difference
Whether you’re stacking large hay bales, loading feed over tall bins or reaching into hard-to-access storage areas, vertical and forward reach are critical. JLG AG telehandlers deliver best-in-class performance here, with lift heights up to 32-ft 2-in and a forward outreach over 21-ft.
That extra reach enables farmers to:
- Stack higher, reducing storage footprint and maximizing barn or yard space
- Load trucks more efficiently, especially when working with cotton or hay bales that require vertical lift and precise placement
- Reach over obstacles like fence lines, feed troughs or pens without repositioning the machine
In busy agricultural environments, those capabilities directly translate to saved time, reduced labor, and fewer machine movements.
One Machine, Multiple Jobs
All five JLG AG telehandler models — AG313, AG519, AG823, AG832 and AG925 — are designed to replace multiple machines with one, and their exceptional lift and reach are key to that flexibility.
For example:
- In hay and cotton markets, the ability to lift bales up to 8,000-lb and stack them with precision is a major asset during harvest and shipping seasons
- On dairy and livestock farms, extended outreach allows operators to feed animals or clean pits from a distance, enhancing safety and efficiency
- With high-rotation attachment functionality, operators enjoy efficient bucket speeds and better tilt angles, ensuring materials are placed exactly where they’re needed
Stable, Confident Operation at Height
JLG AG telehandlers combine their reach with smart stability features like ride control with boom float and a Load Stability Indicator (LSI), which gives operators confidence when working at maximum height or reach. These features help:
- Minimize load shifting on uneven terrain
- Improve comfort during long transport runs
- Reduce the risk of tipping or overextension
Pair that with a short rear-axle-to-hitch distance, and these telehandlers stay balanced even when towing a trailer or wagon, something conventional lifting machines can’t match.
Compact Footprint, Big Capability
Despite their tall reach and long forward extension, JLG’s AG telehandlers maintain a tight 12-ft turning radius and 19-in of ground clearance, making them ideal for maneuvering in barns, between rows or across rough terrain.
And with up to 25-mph travel speeds, they also reduce the time it takes to move between the work to be done.
In short, JLG AG telehandlers deliver reach without sacrificing mobility or control — a major advantage for operations that demand both vertical power and nimble performance.
Built for Uptime, Backed by Real Support
In agriculture, uptime is everything — and that’s where JLG has an advantage. Most JLG AG machines are built in the U.S., with parts stocked domestically and ready to ship next day through JLG’s 24/7 Online Express platform. Whether it’s technical help, warranty support or parts ordering, dealers get fast answers — from real people, not just automated systems. With dedicated service managers, robust training through JLG University and flexible aftermarket solutions, JLG delivers the responsive, reliable support that agriculture professionals count on to stay productive all season long.
Why Farmers Are Making the Switch
More farms and ranches in North America are discovering the value of telehandlers thanks to their speed, strength and flexibility. These machines’ ability to do more with fewer movements, and reach places other machines can’t, makes them a smart investment for operations looking to modernize and scale.
And, JLG’s commitment to dealer and customer support goes beyond the equipment itself. Making a real difference in agricultural operations.
From hay fields and cotton yards to dairy barns and feedlots, JLG AG telehandlers are helping farmers stack higher, load smarter and reach farther.
