A fuel-efficient Yanmar engine that meets EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV emission standards provides reliable and powerful performance. A spacious cab with wider, easier entry and better visibility won’t cramp your style. And maintenance is easy thanks to enhancements such as improved access to coolers.

• Steel hydraulic lines are clamped securely, and wear resistant hoses are protected with Cordura® covering.

• Heavy-duty X-frame provides a solid, stable platform that resists material buildup.

• Versatile rubber tracks minimize ground damage and allow machines to cross virtually any terrain, including paved surfaces.
