Features May Include:

Factory Auxiliary Options Maximize Attachment Capability

• Ergonomic Control Layout:
  • Aux 1 on Right Joystick & Aux 2 on Left Joystick: This configuration places critical auxiliary controls within easy reach, allowing operators to manipulate attachments with precision and minimal effort. This design reduces fatigue and enhances productivity during long working hours.
• Standard Auxiliary Flow Adjustment:
  • The adjustment knob is located below the right joystick for on-the-fly modifications to hydraulic flow. This feature enhances the performance of various attachments, enabling operators to optimize their settings for different tasks effortlessly.

Choose between standard fixed-pin or wedge-style couplers

• Strong, simple, and durable.
• Enables the operator to easily turn bucket around to a shovel position, useful in undermining operations.
• Strong Connection: Minimizes movement for precise digging and lifting.
• User-Friendly: Simple manual pin insertion for easy attachment changes.
• Ideal for Heavy Tasks: Enhances performance in excavation, grading, and utility work.
• A simple, dealer installed wedge coupler is available for customers who have existing buckets and attachments from previous generations and series of machines.

Use Expandable/Retractable Undercarriage to Sneak into the Narrowest Pathways

• Better Maneuverability: The undercarriage can be hydraulically retracted and backfill blade wings fold in, allowing the machine to fit into even tighter spaces and crowded areas.
• Machine is 1295 mm (51 in.) at its widest and can be as narrow as 990 mm (39 in.) when needed.
• Increased Stability: When extended, it provides better stability during operations like lifting or digging.

You will also find a lever that allows you to adjust the tracks. To do this:

1. Disable hydraulics before making any undercarriage adjustments.
2. Switch the track mode lever from blade control to track control mode.
3. Use the blade lever to adjust the tracks narrower or wider to your preference.
4. Once adjustments are complete, switch the lever back to regain control of the front blade.

Ground level daily service with extended maintenance intervals

• Meets FT4 Requirements Without Aftertreatment, reducing complexity and maintenance costs.
• 1000-Hour Valve Lash Intervals: Extended service intervals reduce downtime and labor costs.
• A track adjuster is located in each track frame and can be adjusted using a standard high pressure grease gun.
