Benefits & Features

Engine

Powerful Performance

Turbocharged and aftercooled Cat 3126 direct injected engine is optimized for maximum efficiency and power. ™ — – ‘ ’ ® “ ” • ©

Easy Maintenance

All engine service points are located on the back side of the swing-out doors at the back of the loader.

Turbocharger

Turbocharger enhances performance and engine efficiency, especially at high altitudes, by packing more air in the cylinders for excellent combustion.

Aftercooler

Jacket water aftercooler reduces smoke and emissions by providing cooler, more efficient combustion. This also extends the life of the piston rings and bore.

Air Intake Heating

Air intake heating eases cold weather starting. Operator controlled switch activates air-intake heater.

Unit Injectors

Individual, high-pressure unit injectors atomize fuel efficiently for fast response, increased fuel economy with low emissions.

Fuel Pre-filter and Water Separator Element

Fuel pre-filter and water separator element combined with two high efficiency micron fuel filters, in series, ensure excellent fuel cleanliness, provide extended injector life, fuel system durability and protection.

Structures

Main Frame

Main frame features integral construction, incorporating a high capacity fuel tank to increase operating time and eliminate the need for an external counterweight.

Platform Frame

Platform frame is constructed around four wide-base stabilizers. The design centers the swing bearing.

Boom and Stick

Boom and stick are engineered for combination pull-through delimbing and truck loading.

Attachments

Factory Installed Options
