Hydraulic System

• Four-pump system • Left Track (3250 psi)

• Right Track (3250 psi)

• Auxiliary (2950 psi)

• Loader Arm and Auxiliary (2950 psi)

Pump pressure: 4500 psi (310.3 bar)

Tracks

• Tracks – 7” (17.8 cm) track

• Ground pressure: 4 psi (.3 bar)

• Narrow footprint to access traditional 36” (91.4 cm) gate

entrances

– 9” (22.9 cm) track • Ground pressure: 3.1 psi (.2 bar)

• Reduced ground pressure for increased flotation

Undercarriage

• High track-mounted sprocket – Reduces premature wear on sprocket from rocks

– ADI cast sprocket is heat-treated for longer life

– Increases torque to ground drive

– New four-lip seal replaces the current two-lip seal

for improved life and lower cost of operation

Loader Arms

• Loader arm – Loader geometry

• Up-and-away-style arms

• 72” (182.9 cm) hinge pin height

enables operator to load into the

back of most pickup trucks

Safety

• Operator presence system – If operator is not standing on the OPS

platform, hydraulic functions are disabled

• Lift arm support bar – Safety lock is used for service under raised

loader arms

Commonality

• Why is it important? – Parts stocking made simpler

– Reassurance of proven components

– Common components with other mini skid

steers: • Loader valve – S650TX

• Track [7” and 9” (17.8 cm and 22.9 cm)], rollers, bearings – S650TX

• Wheel motors – S650TX

• Operator presence system – S800TX, S650TX
