Powershift transmission: The automatic powershift torque converter transmission supports demanding load-and-carry work while helping maximize productivity and fuel efficiency.
Z-Bar linkage: The Z-Bar linkage design supports heavy lifting, fast bucket movement, strong breakout forces, and easy bucket angle positioning.
Automatic ride control: Ride control detects when the loader is carrying material and cushions the load to help reduce spillage and improve travel comfort.
Lift arm float: Float functionality allows the bucket to follow ground contours for backdragging, snow removal, cleanup, and surface work.
Lift kickout: Operators can set a maximum lift height for repeatable loading or for work in areas with overhead height restrictions.
Return-to-dig: As the loader arms lower, the bucket automatically returns to the operator’s set digging position to help maximize cycle-time efficiency.
Inching control: Slow, precise movement helps operators maneuver around obstacles, line up with trucks, work near structures, and handle materials in tight areas.
High-flow hydraulic performance: A 64.9 gpm main pump flow and 66 gpm third spool max flow support responsive loader operation and compatible hydraulic attachments.
Standard auxiliary hydraulics: Hydraulic piping routed to the base of the lift arm supports compatible hydraulic attachments and jobsite versatility.
Quick coupler ready: Operators can choose JRB or ISO hydraulic couplers to help change non-hydraulic attachments quickly from inside the cab.
