Benefits include an increase in power and hydraulic performance, boosting productivity, attachment performance and faster cycle times. Power comes from a Kubota diesel delivering 55.4kW and which meets Stage IIIA emissions requirements. Traction increased by 15-20% for greater pushing and digging power while the machine offers improved durability and increased uptime, as well as simplified maintenance and servicing. The machine is offered with a maximum travel speed of 19.8km/h as well as high-flow hydraulics and two-speed options
