hello I'm David Steiger one of the product managers here at Takeuchi and
I'd like to take a few moments to go over the new line of large frame skid
steers which include the TS80R2 and TS80V2. The TS80R2 is a radial lift arm
machine that provides simplicity and durability for demanding applications
such as demolition and excavation while also delivering maximum mid-height reach
the TS80V2 is a vertical lift arm machine that delivers great stability
for lift and carry applications common with rental and general use applications
both machines feature a powerful 74 horsepower engine that meets the latest
EPA final tier 4 exhaust emission standards while also delivering good
fuel economy and maximum uptime the engine features an exhaust
after-treatment solution that does not require any fluids or filters in fact
it's a maintenance-free DOC also known as a diesel oxidation catalyst
which means no regen no downtime helping you complete your jobs faster
and on budget opening the rear door removes the massive cooling module that
is fitted with your radiator and hydraulic oil cooler positioned side by
side for maximum cooling efficiency for even greater access to the engine
components the cooler assembly simply swings out providing exceptional
serviceability from here you can also see the filters
have been centrally located for convenience along with the multi groove
fan belt with auto tensioner to help ensure proper airflow these machines
feature electric fuel priming pump which means the fuel system is self
priming to aid in filter changes and to ensure adequate supply of clean fuel it
may even help eliminate a service call we've also provided a heavy-duty battery
that is easily accessed and includes a remote jumps start terminal for
occasions when you need to attach jumper cables even oil changes are easy with
this simple yet innovative oil drain that funnels waste oil to the opening in
the belly pan coming around the side there are a few more key features to
point out easy greasing gives provided for all the movable joints and several key
areas now feature grease lubricated self-aligning bushings for enhanced
durability you will also note the easy to see hydraulic oil side gauge that
allows you to check that level at a glance before operating also easy to check
the chain case oil level with the convenient check and fill plugs located
on each side of the chain case to further enhance the drive system
durability of standard heavy duty axles feature metal face seals that keep out
even the worst contaminants each axle pod is also sealed on the back side to
ensure proper lubrication to each axle while separating the oil from the main
chain case to limit the possibility of contamination
the drive system uses large chains in a bowtie drive configuration which are
adjustable for long-term durability to help match the machine to the
application we now have several new tire options you can choose from flotation
solid or heavy duty construction cutters the long wheel base of the machine
delivers stability and capacity and for large job sites the optional two speed
travel to propel the machine to nearly 12 miles per hour if you're doing a lot
of truck loading you may consider the bucket positioning option which features
the ability to turn the system on and off to a convenient switch in the operator
station a ride control feature is available to help smooth out the bumps
and maximize material retention as you traverse the site we use pressure relieving half inch flat base covers to help make attachment hose connections easier
and we have a 14 pin electrical connector to help operate some of your
electrically controlled attachments changing attachments is easy with the
optional hydraulic coupler which allows you to latch and unlatch the coupler
from the safety and convenience of the operator station machines size and
weight lend itself to easy transport and to help simplify proper securing of the
machine we have incorporated convenient tie down and lifting points around the
machine to make the machine easier to enter and
exit we have lower the threshold by more than four inches when compared to the
previous models once you've entered the operator station will quickly notice the
large flat floor and the comfort delivered by the new deluxe suspension
seat once seated you'll realize the visibility to the front side and rear of
the machine providing a commanding view of the job site the upper left corner of
the operators department features a multi-function gauge cluster and
diagnostics panel while the right side features large easy to operate switches
and a new dial throttle control that makes it easy to set the desired engine
speed for simplicity and reliability we use proven hydraulic pilot joysticks
that are responsive and easy to control attachments are operated using the
fingertip control of the proportional attachment thumb wheel on the right
joystick the left handle features momentary buttons that control the new
14 pin connector the available enclosed operators department features a swing
out door along with an updated powerful AC system that delivers excellent
airflow to the operator all these features add up to deliver a machine
