Equipped with a turbo-charged, 61-hp Tier 4 Final engine, Takeuchi’s TW60 Series 2 wheel loader can handle a wide range of applications. The machine’s universal hydraulic skid-steer coupler makes it easy to connect various attachments. A standard pressure-relieving coupler block located on the loader arm simplifies attachment exchanges by allowing the operator to relieve residual pressure in the auxiliary lines.

A durable Z-bar loader linkage delivers powerful breakout forces and heavy-lifting capabilities, making the TW60 Series 2 good for excavating and stockpile loading. A multifunction display keeps operators aware of machine performance and vitals, while a joystick with proportional thumb wheel controls all key loader and directional functions.
