Loading the Future with Quicke Q-companion 2.0

May 12, 2026

JOST Communications Team

Quicke is advancing its commitment to meeting the evolving demands of modern agriculture with the introduction of the new Q-Companion 2.0 control system, launched alongside the updated Q-series loader range. Building on the capabilities of its predecessor, the new system integrates additional features designed to improve operational efficiency, user comfort and precision in material handling.

Attach, Tare and Weigh

A key feature of Q-Companion 2.0 is automatic implement recognition, which identifies attached implements and applies the appropriate settings without manual input. This functionality reduces setup time and allows operators to focus on fieldwork. The system also introduces a live weighing function, displaying load weight in 10 kg increments without requiring loader movement. Through Bluetooth connectivity, this information can be accessed via the Quicke Mobile App, enabling operators to monitor load data both inside and outside the tractor cabin.

Q-companion 2.0 automates paperwork, for more focus on the farm

To support farm management processes, Q-Companion 2.0 includes an integrated activity log that records material handling tasks and storage locations. The data can be exported as a PDF and shared via email or printed directly using a Bluetooth printer, simplifying documentation and reporting.

Efficiency in the office, precision in the barn

In addition, the system enables users to prepare feeding recipes in advance using the Quicke Mobile App. These can be transferred to the control system, providing real-time guidance when filling mixer wagons to ensure greater accuracy, consistency and efficiency in daily feeding operations. When combined with the QE-command joystick, the system delivers enhanced weighing precision with accuracy down to 1 kg.

Q-companion 2.0 is available in combination with all Q-series loader from Quicke.
