Takeuchi-US is pleased to announce the introduction of the TB285 mid size hydraulic excavator. This machine was recently displayed for the first time at ConExpo 2011 in Las Vegas. This is a next generation 200 series model and replaces the TB175. It has been completely redesigned and delivers higher performance, increased operator comfort, and simplified service.
The TB285 features an Interim Tier 4 turbocharged Yanmar engine that delivers 66.5 net horsepower. The operating weight is just under 20,000 lbs with a dig depth of 15 ft. It boasts a bucket breakout force of 16,568 lbs and a traction force of 19,783 lbs. Superior torque is the result for pushing, climbing, or turning. Dual heavy duty boom cylinders provide considerable strength for lifting and ample clearance for buckets and attachments. Options include a 21.7” wide steel track, hydraulic thumb, and heavy duty adjustable bucket coupler.
The newly designed upper structure with rounded counterweight and covers allow the TB285 to work in more confined areas, with power and dexterity. Standard 2yr/2000 hour warranty lets you work with confidence, knowing your machine is protected.
