Q+A with Dylan Freeman, product manager
How does the TL11R3 compact track loader save time?
Time is money in landscaping, and the TL11R3 compact track loader is designed to maximize both. Its powerful hydraulics and smooth electric-over-hydraulic (EH) controls allow operators to move heavy loads of soil, mulch, gravel or stone quickly and precisely. Attachment changes are fast and simple, meaning crews can quickly transition from one task to the next, keeping projects on schedule and crews moving. Operators can keep the TL11R3’s roll-up door open as they work, making crew communication effortless and keeping the job moving forward.
How does the TL11R3 save labor?
Labor shortages remain one of the toughest challenges in the green industry. The TL11R3 helps companies do more with less by reducing the number of workers needed to complete demanding jobs. Instead of relying on several crew members with wheelbarrows and shovels, one skilled operator can handle the heavy lifting, digging and material handling. That not only lowers labor costs but also protects employees from fatigue and injury.
How does the TL11R3 save materials or fuel?
Efficiency matters when margins are tight. The TL11R3’s precise EH controls allow operators to work with greater accuracy, reducing the amount of landscaping materials — rock, mulch, soil — wasted or left unused at the end of a project. Furthermore, its Tier 4 Final engine delivers powerful performance with reduced emissions, while features like automatic idle and eco modes conserve fuel. Over time, those savings can really add up.
How does the TL11R3 help generate additional revenue for landscape and lawn care companies?
The TL11R3 can open doors to new revenue streams. With Takeuchi’s broad range of compatible attachments, landscapers can expand their services, adding hardscape preparation, trenching, drainage installation, demolition and site cleanup, for example. These specialized services not only increase bid opportunities but also help contractors strengthen customer relationships by providing a full-service solution.
In what other ways does the TL11R3 make landscape and lawn care companies profitable?
The TL11R3 is built with rugged durability to withstand tough jobsite conditions, while excellent service access helps crews complete routine maintenance quickly and get back to work. A spacious cab, smooth ride, and intuitive joystick controls reduce fatigue, keeping operators productive throughout long days. The TL11R3 is a machine investment that consistently pays dividends.
