Takeuchi-US launches the redesigned TL8R2. The all-new redesigned TL8R2 is engineered to provide superior power, strength and maneuverability. The radial-lift design offers a tipping load of 6,041 pounds with an operating weight of 9,182 pounds.

The TL8R2 is equipped with a 74.3 horsepower turbocharged engine that is EPA Final Tier 4 emission compliant. The diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) featured on this machine minimize emissions for clean and efficient operation.

Creep mode is a standard feature on the TL8R2 models equipped with high flow auxiliary hydraulics. This feature will enable operators to precisely match the forward speed of the track loader to a particular attachment without having to constantly meter the travel lever. The creep mode function is ideal for attachments that require a consistent, repeatable travel speed, such as a cold planer and trencher.

The automotive-styled operator’s station features a 5.7-inch multi-informational color display with a rearview camera and a sealed rocker switch bank that helps improve performance and functionality by providing the operator with a wider range of operational information. Also, standard equipment on the TL8R2 is the low-effort pilot controls and proportional auxiliary switches to give the operator the precision needed to work more efficiently in a comfortable, fatigue-free environment.

Additionally, a pressurized cab is an available option on the TL8R2. Optional cabs are equipped with a roll-up door, A/C, heat, defrost and front wiper and AM/FM/Bluetooth radio.
