Maintenance Access

The large side cover opens to provide easy access. In addition, items requiring daily maintenance have been centrally located on the left side for faster servicing.


Engine / Powertrain / Drivetrain

Independent front and rear service brakes

Separate brake lines for the front and rear wheels means that one will be available for braking in the unlikely event that the other fails.


3-mode switch

Automatic transmission provides selection among three power modes: (L) gives priority to traveling; (M) is an intermediate range; (H) is for loading operations.


Hydraulic system

Front arm can be lowered with engine stopped

An accumulator in the hydraulic system for the front arm allows it to be lowered even if the engine has been stopped.


Operator's cab

ROPS/FOPS cab

This rigid cab is ready to help protect the operator from falling objects or during a rollover. The rear-hinged door makes entry and exit easy.


External air induction air conditioning

This powerful air conditioning can be switched between re-circulating air inside the cab or drawing it in from outside.
