Features
Enhanced Front‑End Durability for Longer Service Life
The 250 P‑Tier builds on proven G‑Series architecture with improved front joint durability, including upgraded bushings, hardened pins, and enhanced sealing. These updates help extend component life, reduce wear in abrasive conditions, and maximize uptime—while serviceable bushings simplify maintenance and lower long‑term ownership costs.
Faster Cycle Times With High‑Efficiency Hydraulics
Advanced hydraulics deliver strong digging force and smooth, responsive multifunctioning to support fast cycle times and consistent productivity. Power boost is available at the push of a button when extra breakout force is needed, helping operators work efficiently through tough material without sacrificing control.
Improved Fuel Efficiency and Jobsite Confidence
Design updates—including electric on‑demand cooling fans and optimized hydraulic routing—help improve fuel economy by up to 7%, reducing daily operating costs. Optional camera systems with LED surround lighting provide enhanced 270‑degree visibility, helping operators work confidently in confined spaces and low‑light conditions.
