Features
Efficient Hydraulics

Proven pressure-compensated load-sensing hydraulic system delivers power on demand for strong delimbing and loading performance, while minimizing hydraulic heat generation and reducing fuel consumption.
Increase Uptime with Easy Access to Daily Service Points

Daily service points are easily accessible, reducing time spent on maintenance. Features like hinged panels for the engine compartment, same-side fills for fuel and diesel exhaust fluid, and ground-level hydraulic access help in maintaining the machine with minimal effort.
Maximize Comfort and Visibility with a Spacious Cab

The knuckleboom loader's redesigned cab maximizes operator comfort and visibility with enhancements like a large doorway, spacious interior, and superior ventilation. The cab-window features improve forward visibility, while the lower hood profile enhances the side views.
