NEW COMPACT EXCAVATOR

Versatile 5-ton Takeuchi features integrated thumb mount, more than 12 feet of digging depth

Contractors want the versatility that gives them the ability to use one machine for multiple applications. Takeuchi’s new compact 5-ton TB250-2 excavator fits the bill with a long arm, integrated thumb mount and a digging depth of more than 12 feet, making it a solid choice for landscaping, general contracting, utility digs and more.

The TB250-2 features a four-pump hydraulic system for multi-function capability and pilot joysticks that provide smooth, metered control. The primary auxiliary circuit delivers 24.2 gallons per minute and is controlled with a proportional slide switch located on the left-hand joystick. The multi-function monitor makes it possible to adjust hydraulic flow rates from the cab, and multiple presets allow attachments to be exchanged quickly and easily. Continuous oil flow for various types of hydraulically driven attachments is possible through detent mode, which improves efficiency and reduces fatigue.

In-cab amenities

Takeuchi equipped the automotive-style cab with a high-capacity HVAC system to keep operators comfortable throughout the year, and rocker switches provide a wide range of functions. A high-back seat has multiple adjustments for height, weight, fore and aft positions as well as tilt for greater comfort.

The in-cab monitor is easy to see in varying light conditions and keeps the operator informed of machine health and performance. The Takeuchi Fleet Management telematics system comes standard and allows the owner to view vital information such as location, utilization, performance and maintenance data remotely. This can be instrumental in ensuring uptime and availability.

Large hoods open overhead for convenient serviceability and access for daily inspection points. All grease points are clearly marked and easy to find on one side of the machine. The fuel fill is located behind a lockable access panel and provides a site gauge to simplify refueling.

“Takeuchi is excited about the addition of the TB250-2 to the excavator line, and we look forward to providing today’s contractors with a machine that will not only meet, but also exceed their expectations on the most demanding jobsites,” said Mike Ross, Director of Product at Takeuchi Manufacturing. “Listening to our customers is key to success, and we incorporate their feedback into every Takeuchi product to ensure the quality, performance and value are unmatched.”
