Low Ground Pressure

Low Ground Pressure

A rigid undercarriage and rubber tracks spread out the machine's weight over a larger area, reducing the amount of pressure exerted on the ground. Steel reinforcements in the Bridgestone tracks make difficult terrain easy to maneuver.

Auxiliary Hydraulics

Auxiliary Hydraulics

Hydraulic flow up to 15.1 gpm allow for the operation of a wide variety of attachments. Flat-faced couplers make attaching, and detaching, hydraulic lines quick and easy.

Hydraulic Self Leveling

Hydraulic Self Leveling

As the lift arm is raised on the loader, the hydraulic self-leveling feature keeps the attachment level. This reduces material spillage and operator fatigue, allowing your operators to be more efficient and productive.
