Advantages and Features
BUILT TO PERFORM
Unmatched Durability
- The full box-section rear frame resists torsional shock and twisting forces.
- Heavy-duty steering cylinder mounts efficiently transmit steering loads into the frame.
- Optimized axle mounting results in increased structural integrity.
- Achieve longer component life with increased size of upper hitch pin, frame plate, and bearing.
- Solid through-width push beams transfer and absorb stresses through a larger portion of the frame.
- Features fully enclosed hydraulic wet disc brakes for improved performance.
- Robust structures withstand the toughest conditions and multiple lifecycles to improve your bottom line.
- In corner dozing, stresses are transferred and absorbed through a larger portion of the frame.
MOVE MORE WITH LESS FUEL
