Barreto’s 1025TKL Mini Skid Steer Features Additional Counterbalance Weights
Barreto Manufacturing introduces the all-new 1025TKL mini skid steer, replacing the 825TKL mini skid steer. The 1025TKL features several significant improvements over its predecessor, offering enhanced performance and operator comfort:
- Increased muscle: The 1025TKL offers more than 330 pounds of additional counterbalance weights, resulting in a substantial boost to machine weight and operating capacity. This translates to better handling and the ability to tackle tougher jobs with confidence.
- Operator comfort: The 1025TKL features a thoughtfully designed cup holder, ensuring operators stay hydrated and comfortable throughout the workday.
The 1025TKL retains the user-friendly features that made the 825TKL a favorite, including:
- Easy Maintenance: The cab-over design provides access to major components for effortless maintenance and repairs.
- Precise Control: The electric-over-hydraulic drive control system offers smooth and precise control.
- Smooth Ride: Articulated rollers on the track system absorb impact, ensuring a smooth ride over uneven terrain.
- Versatility: The universal attachment plate allows for the use of industry-standard quick-change attachments, making the 1025TKL a truly versatile machine.
- Reduced Downtime: The track system features a secondary hydraulic tensioning system to maintain proper tension when operating in reverse, preventing de-tracking and minimizing downtime.
