The new TS80 skid steer loaders (largest models in the Takeuchi skid steer product line) feature a 74 hp Final Tier 4 Deutz engine that delivers 192 ft. lb. of torque at 1,800 rpm. A key benefit of the new Deutz engine is its simple maintenance-free Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) that does not require regeneration, cleaning, or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). The TS80R2 features an operating weight of 7,950 lbs. and a rated operating capacity of 2,825 lbs. The bucket breakout force on the TS80R2 is 5,845 lbs., with a lift arm force of 7,080 lbs. and a maximum hinge pin height of 10 ft. 5 in. The TS80V2 is heavier than its radial counterpart with an operating weight of 8,965 lbs. and a rated operating capacity of 3,500 lbs. Bucket breakout force on the vertical model is 5,920 lbs., with a lift arm force of 6,200 lbs, and a maximum hinge pin height of 10 ft. 10 in. The TS80 skid steers feature a functional and well-equipped operator’s station that now includes a lower threshold for easier entry and exit for the operator. Several new options are now available and include ride control, bucket positioning, and high-flow auxiliary hydraulics to increase both productivity and versatility. Daily maintenance points like fluid level checks and greasing access have been improved and simplified on the new models. www.takeuchi-us.com
