Key Features & Performance Advantages
- Premium Operator Station: Available in Canopy, Deluxe Cab, or Air-Conditioned Deluxe Cab configurations. Features an adjustable air suspension seat, ample legroom, an easy-to-read gauge cluster, and an automatic engine speed control system to save fuel.
- Excavator-Style Controls & Versatility: Ergonomic joysticks feature integrated thumb rollers for smooth auxiliary control, eliminating floor pedals. An in-cab pattern selector switch lets you swap between excavator and backhoe control patterns instantly.
- Advanced Cat C4.4 ACERTâ„¢ Engine: Meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Interim emissions standards using a passive regeneration system. This means no operator interaction is required to clean the long-life diesel particulate filter (DPF).
- Load-Sensing Closed-Center Hydraulics: Automatically matches pressure and flow to job demands, ensuring full digging and lifting forces at any engine speed while providing cooler operating temperatures and reduced wear.
- Robust Power Train & Transmission: The standard 4-speed power shuttle transmission allows on-the-go shifting. Upgrade with the optional auto-shift transmission and a larger torque converter to experience up to 14% greater pushing power and a top roading speed of 25 mph.
- High-Performance Linkages: Choose between the standard Single Tilt loader linkage for strong lift and breakout forces, or the Integrated Toolcarrier (IT) linkage with parallel lift and a hydraulic quick coupler for lightning-fast tool changes.
