Takeuchi compact wheel loaders
designed for tight jobsites
Takeuchi's newest compact wheel loaders – the TW65 Series 2
and TW80 Series 2 – are Tier 4 Final-compliant machines featur-
ing a compact design for maneuverability on tight jobsites. They
provide reach and dump heights up to 8 feet 6 inches. The TW65
Series 2 has an 11,354-pound operating weight, 4,050-pound
rated operating capacity, 9,171-pound tipping load and a bucket
breakout force of 11,600 pounds. The 12,700-pound TW80 Se-
ries 2 has a 4,445-pound rated operating capacity, 12,700-pound
tipping load and 13,960-pound bucket breakout force. Equipped
with a turbocharged, water-cooled Deutz engine that provides
192 foot-pounds of torque at 1,800 rpm, the loaders deliver 73
horsepower with a rated engine speed of 2,200 rpm. The loaders
feature a 12.4-mph standard travel speed; however, a high-speed
road gear option is available. betterroads.com/takeuchi-tw65-tw80
Caterpillar wheel excavators
Caterpillar's two new wheel excavators – the M318F and M320F
– deliver 169 horsepower from a Cat C7.1 ACERT engine that
includes an emissions aftertreatment system; a NOx reduction
system; selective catalytic reduction; diesel oxidation catalyst; diesel
particulate fi lter and high-pressure/common-rail fuel. The engine
is longitudinally mounted with the cooling package forward, so
ground level access to routine maintenance points is simplifi ed, and
electrical and hydraulic components are grouped in specifi c areas.
Radiators are grouped in the same compartment and the condenser
can be tilted for cleaning. The Tier 4 Final machines weigh 21.7 and
23.2 tons, respectively. betterroads.com/cat-m318f-m320f
Bobcat adds Trimble GPS option
By adding a Trimble GCS900 GPS grade control option to its grader
attachment, Bobcat says owners of its M Series loaders now have
the ability to precisely grade on jobs that require more maneu-
verability than dedicated graders can handle. Two Bobcat grader
attachments, the 96- and 108-inch moldboard models, will be
available in GPS-ready versions. The GCS900 system's on-board
control box determines the position of each tip of the blade and
compares it to the design elevation to compute cut or fi ll to grade.
The GPS system requires users to have a Bobcat M Series skid steer
or compact track loader with a deluxe instrument panel. Visit
