Pitbull X28-45 CRT Compact Loader — Small but Mighty Power for Irish Farms
The Pitbull X28-45 CRT – compact power built for hardworking Irish farms.
Built for Tough Irish Work
Space is tight on most Irish farms — sheds, lanes, feed yards, and cubicle houses don’t leave much room to manoeuvre. That’s why more and more farmers are turning to the Pitbull Compact Loader, built by Peeters Group in the Netherlands.
It’s a compact loader that delivers serious performance, with the stability, lift power, and reliability that Irish dairy and beef farmers need — day in, day out.
The star of the lineup? The Pitbull X28-45 CRT. Compact enough for shed work, yet powerful enough to tackle heavy yard and pit jobs.
Engineered by Peeters Group
The Peeters Group, the same people behind the Peecon and Biga Future ranges, are known for precision-built agricultural machinery that stands the test of time.
Every Pitbull loader is designed, welded, and assembled in the Netherlands using premium European components, including Kubota engines and Dana Spicer axles.
You’re not just buying a loader — you’re investing in dependable Dutch engineering backed by local dealer support here in Ireland.

Compact Power, Real Farm Strength
+ Compact but Capable
Work in tight barns and narrow lanes without losing lift power. Despite its small footprint, the X28-45 CRT boasts a 2.4 tonne lift and solid 2.8 tonne operating weight — stability you can feel.
+ Kubota Power & Fuel Efficiency
Powered by a Kubota turbo-diesel, it delivers high torque at low revs, excellent fuel economy, and the clean emissions Irish regulations demand.
+ Hydraulic Precision
The Pitbull’s proportional joystick gives fingertip control over all movements. It’s quick, smooth, and precise — perfect for careful yard work or loading in tight spaces.
+ Versatility with Attachments
Thanks to the hydraulic quick-coupler, you can switch easily between:
-
General-purpose buckets
-
Silage and muck grabs
-
Pallet forks
-
Bale spikes
-
Sweepers and yard brushes
-
Snow or slurry blades
One machine — endless jobs.
+ P-Z Boom Design
The Pitbull’s P-Z linkage system combines the benefits of both parallel and Z-bar geometry. That means you get excellent breakout force for heavy materials and smooth, level lifting — ideal for feed, gravel, or aggregate work.
+ Safety & Comfort

ROPS/FOPS-certified cab structure
-
Excellent visibility from the driver’s seat
-
Smooth hydrostatic drive with inching control
-
Optional enclosed cab and heating for year-round use

Easy service access points for maintenance

-
Excellent ground clearance for uneven yards
-
Sealed joints and robust finish to resist corrosion
-
Differential lock for maximum traction on wet surfaces
-
Low centre of gravity for superior stability on slopes
It’s a loader built for our climate, our yards, and our kind of work.
