Key Features
Hydrostatic Transmission (HST)
The HST provides quick travel response and aggressive drive into the pile. Full auto-shifting eliminates any gear shifting and kick-down operation, allowing the operator to concentrate on digging and loading. The HST also acts as a dynamic brake to slow the machine. This prolongs the life of the wet disc brakes.
Variable Traction Control System
This model also features a new variable speed control system, which is designed to adjust the operating speed for each working condition. S-mode reduces tire spin in slippery or snowy conditions. Auto-mode automatically optimizes the tractive effort for various working conditions. Max traction provides the full, 100%, tractive effort.
Multi-Function Mono Lever
The multi-function mono lever with EPC control for 3rd spool is standard. It includes a forward-neutral-reverse switch for quick and easy travel. Third spool attachments can be set to continual or proportional control via the monitor panel allowing the operator to control the boom, bucket, and attachment all with a single lever.
PZ-linkage
Combines advantages of Z-bar linkage with parallel lift linkage
Fast pallet handling
Excellent breakout force and easy bucket fill
High tilt forces give perfect control of heavy attachments
