SPEC GUIDE: COMPACT TRACK LOADERS

TAKEUCHI-US

Available in both radial- and vertical-lift configurations, Takeuchi compact track loaders feature a unique undercarriage design with model-specific components that are matched to each platform for greater durability. Operator stations feature a highback suspension seat and low-effort, pilot-operated joystick controls that reduce fatigue. All new Takeuchi track loaders feature a standard 5.7-inch multifunction colour monitor and rear-view camera that give operators a much broader view of the job site. The Takeuchi Fleet Management telematics system allows users to remotely connect and view the health and service needs of their machines. A full line of Takeuchi attachments, including hydraulically driven options, make these machines even more versatile.

Yanmar Compact Equipment

Yanmar’s new line of compact track loaders are construction-grade machines featuring Yanmar engines. The TL100VS is available now, with the TL65RS, TL75VS, and TL80VS coming in late 2023. Ranging from 67 to 103.5 hp, the new CTLs cover a range of customer needs for construction work, rental applications, and more. The models include several optional efficiency-enhancing features to improve the operator experience and overall productivity. These include a work tool positioner, return-to-position technology, self-levelling, ride control, and auto 2-speed capabilities. Each machine will have a 2-year/2,000-hour warranty.

Yanmar says its new 103.5hp TL100VS compact track loader offers its reliability, productivity, and intuitive features for enhanced efficiency and easy training. Standard 40-gpm high flow, a 3,600-pound ROC, and 10,286-pound tipping load improve performance capacity and efficiency. Travel speeds up to 8 mph on the new torsion axle suspended undercarriage round out the performanceenhancing features.
