hi I'm Sam Schneider regional product manager with Takeuchi I'm standing next
to the new tl12v2 compact track loader first for Takeuchi
with the new vertical lift loader frame design today we're going to
do a walk around and discuss features and benefits on this machine starting at
the front of the machine in the auxilary circuit area you'll notice our 14 pin
wiring harness which is standard equipment on all TLs
you'll also notice our heavy-duty flat faced quick couplers we also have a
patented bleed valve you can bleed the residual pressure off of both of these
circuits for ease of quick coupling you'll notice the heavy-duty guarding on
the tilt cylinders on the front of this machine you'll also notice our redesign
front crossmember it stays very close to the machine also provides excellent
visibility to the quick coupler and the cutting edge also provides excellent
durability and longevity for the life of this loader frame you'll also notice on
the front of this machine how we double wrap our hoses we do this to prevent
chafing we also do this to help prolong the life of the hydraulic hose also
while we're on the front of this machine you'll notice with the cab that we've
got a hydraulic quick coupler that comes standard with the loader frame up in the
air and secured you can get a better idea what the front of the frame looks
like on this machine you'll notice we've got built-in tie-downs which is very
handy for lifting the machine and placing the machine and barges or so
forth you'll also notice there's a two bolt
cover here for our hydraulic oil tank fill it's a very handy spot to have very
easy to get to you'll also notice our lift arm stops there very heavy-duty and
they provide a lot of structural support for the lift arms when they're in the
down position moving a little lower you also see all over
sized tie-down loops at the bottom of the frame and moving even lower you'll
also see our ground clearance we've got the highest ground clearance in the
industry moving up here to the brow we've got a replaceable brow on top of
the cab now it can be removed by with a couple bolts we've also got very bright
adequate LED lighting now that we've moved to the left hand side of the
machine you can see how our new loader frame design fits to the machine a lot
of structural support very heavy gauge walls all of the characteristics you
would expect from a TL from Takeuchi notice how all the pivot points are
painted in yellow for an easy reference point for greasing you'll also notice
we've got a three bolt cover here on the left hand rear side of the machine this
is for battery access excellent battery access in this machine also just on the
backside of the cab here we've got our diesel fuel fill and we've got our def
fill we've also got a fill level alarm so depending on which fluid you're
filling if it's diesel or def you can select the switch and as the fluid rises
in the tank it will send an audible alarm letting you know that the fluid
level is rising you'll also notice on the side of the cab machine here how
excellent the visibility is out the sides and out the rear overall you can
see how heavy-duty the loader frame is we've got an excellent position on our
auxilary circuit manifold for coupling and uncoupling everything that you would
expect from Takeuchi let's take a look at the most durable reliable
undercarriage on the market we've got our double gear reduction final drive
which helps us achieve the highest tractive effort in the industry this
final drive is also mounted to the frame of the machine
unlike some of the competitors you'll also notice heavy guarding on the supply
return and case train hoses to this final drive we've got two oversized
supports coming out to our roller frame that are fully welded to the frame of
this machine we've also got heavy-duty double flange track rollers on the
bottom of our roller frame which also have metal faced seals to extend the
life of the seal in the component you'll also notice talking you choose
new track belt on the tl12V2 it's our new quiet track design so we've got
rubber on steel now to help provide a better ride and to keep vibration from
resonating up through the machine so let's open the rear of this machine and
let's look at some of the powertrain components with the rear door open you
can see our side-to-side cooling pack hydraulic oil cooler being on this side
engine coolant being on this side these coolers are really nice they simply
swing out just remove a bottom bolt and a top bolt and this entire cooling pack
will swing out to gain access to both sides of the cooler very easy very
simple to clean and to maintain we've also redesigned this upper engine
enclosure we've relocated the AC condenser up here on the bottom side of
this upper engine enclosure really helps to facilitate good airflow through the
cooler which provides a comfortable operator station another thing to note
while we're back here Takeuchi's got their automatic fuel bleed system
anytime you run the machine out of fuel you just simply put fuel back in the
machine replace the filter if needed cycle the key a couple times and you're
back up and running we've got our dual air filter element
housing right here that's easy to get to simply remove three clasps you can get
the air filter out it's a simple minute deal we've relocated our washer fluid
tank to this side it used to be in the cab this is a much better refill point
we've also got our engine coolant overflow tank available right here as
well for refilling so you've got good access to the engine with your engine
refill up here on top and you can also see that we've got excellent
serviceability and plenty of room to work around the final tier for regen
components this machine is equipped with SCR the DPF and DOC style system very
reliable system now that we're in the cab of the tl12v2 let's talk about some
of its features exclusive to the tl12v2 we've got our 5.7 inch color display on
my right hand side this display holds a lot of information for the operator you
can view machine vitals you can adjust auxiliary circuit flow you can turn
active power control on and off in the 12v2 cab we've also got a safety arm
bar that comes down with integrated arm rests the armrest really helped to put
your hands in an excellent position on your pilot control valve joysticks this
machine like all the other TLS are equipped with pilot control we also have
our new radio up front to the left the radio has am/fm NOAA weather band and
mp3 inputs also on the left just below the radio we've got our air conditioner
and heating controls we also have our blower fan speed control the switches on
the feft contain continuous flow for the auxiliary circuit if equipped
ride control which is an option bucket leveler and we've also got our switch
for our hydraulic quick attach on the right hand side we've got our hydraulic
control lock for the implements we've got our regen switch which is a
momentary switch which is automatic mode inhibit and manual regen mode both so
got our lights our wipers inner windshield washer fluid switch on your
right hand side you'll also see on the 12v that we now have a rotary dial
throttle switch as well lifting the arm bar up you can get a better look at the
six way adjustable seat the seat has three fixed positions low medium and
high depending on the size of the operator the seat adjustment puts you in
an excellent position to view your quick coupler and your cutting edge the door
can be opened and closed in any position regardless of load or frame position
it's also very easy to use and very durable you can see how smooth and
heavy-duty the door operation is on the 12v on our joysticks we've got
proportional controls for our auxiliary circuit you can demand as little or as
much hydraulic oil flow as you want to just with the flip of your thumb we also
have our trigger for two speed travel which is standard on all TL Takeuchis on this other joystick we've got bucket float which is also
standard horn and we've got our buttons for our 14 pin electrical connections we
