hello my name is Dale Keller in the Northeast region product manager for
Takeuchi manufacturing today we're going to be going over the future
benefits of our TB 235 it's a conventional tail swing machine weighing
approximately 8,000 pounds starting the front of machine can get either pin on
bucket or a quick coupler that's built for us so for us from my tag equipment
we notice here we have two bucket pin positions one is the power dig position
the low position will give you a greater tip pocket tip radius to opening and
closing from loading applications as well for
durability we have castle nuts something that a
lot of the other manufactures don't use castle nut allows you to compensate for
wear down the stick position this is the part is going on in dirt this is where
all the abrasions are it's what we have all of our wear. very well protected you have
the steel wrap on there, sort of a poly wrap with a lot of our hunters use just for
added durability
angle blade is an option on this machine can get an angle or a straight blade and
the undercarriage itself we use an elevated keyframe a little more
expensive much more durable piece for you I'll distribute the load throughout
the undercarriage of the machine carry a ruler what we use in what's called a
triple flange roller and what the triple flange does is gives us three points of
contact over the rail that's built right into the track
this helps us and we're transversing side slopes and things like that
keep the trap from derailing for wanting to walk off. simple grease adjuster here
very durable As far as the drive motors go we do have two speed travel it does feature
automatic step down travel motors as you encounter a load or go to turn and high
rain it will kick into a low range for you right at torque feature nice recess
counterweight gives it more durability what happens is if we encounter a
structure or obstruction as it clears it without damaging the Ashima on the back
and access to our battery on the washer flip fill and also our fuel level
indicator we also have an electric fuel level indicator inside the cab as well
fuel fill is located right here as well as our hydraulic with our one-way
hammer valve here for a hammer operation what that does is allows the hydraulics
to only go in one direction and as it comes out of the hammer its gonna pressurize
it's heated it dumps it directly in the filter and then into tank cooler
operation more durable side panel access your cooler AC unit here as well as your
hydraulic level indicator excellent access to the back of the engine twenty
eight horsepower direct-injected diesel we have our oil filter fuel filter dual
element air as well as a fuel water separator so also feature on all of our
machines a self bleeding fuel system so if it goes out on the job it's on a
rental customer runs it out of fuel turn the key on
after you fill it about 30 to 45 seconds you'll be able to start the machine without any
bleeding whatsoever also a change that we made on this we
used to be a top stops machine tip over protection system we've gone to a
rollover protection system so with two bolts located in this area we can remove
those and give unparalleled access all of our hydraulic components
once that is up we have access to the back of the engine
the alternator starter your main hydraulic control valve your flue motor
and your swivel joint which gives you 360 degree rotation and we keep all
these components low better for balance a lot of competitors that move that
control valve to the side and go through side engine or side cab access by
keeping everything here we can access travel linkage the back of the engine
where others have to pull apart panels and different components Takeuchi
uses as a four pump hydraulic system what the four pump system does is allows for
greater metering and fluid control when your multi-functioning the machine one
pump trying to divide those flows sometimes creates a hesitation as in
some of our competitors machine right here we have four pump systems a little
more expensive to do and obviously much much better feel for the operator now
we're going to go in the operators environment the nice thing about a
conventional machine it does allow for much larger operators compartment you
look at the floor room that we have here Probably one of the largest in the industry six
way adjustable cloth seat easy entrance
fold-down foot pedals for travel and one of the nicest features I think that's
overlooked is the pilot travel control there's no linkage in here whatsoever
what that does is allows the smoother operation in the travel eliminates I'm
going to hop and some of the jump that we've gotten out of some of the mechanical
linkage control drives
door stores overhead two speed travel step-down travel motors
located right on the travel lever our boom swing pedal is located here and it
also operates as a foot rest pedal
automotive style interior now with the cab heat and AC unit radio standard auto
idle as well as an auto de-cel for the engine load is standard on all the
machines and obviously if we have an angle blade here the switches are
located right on the blade handle proportional controls auxilary control
located on your left hand joystick
