Takeuchi previews update to its largest excavator

Takeuchi gave visitors an advance look at its forthcoming TB3150R excavator at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026. The excavator will be an update to the TB2150 model, bringing Takeuchi's largest excavator platform in line with its other 3-series machines.

The R version of the platform features a reduced tail swing, and Takeuchi is switching from a Deutz engine to a 114-hp Yanmar engine with this update. The new power package eliminates one of the gear pumps, giving the excavator greater hydraulic efficiency compared to its predecessor. The internal track structure has been improved and the new tracks are both stronger and lighter. 

Another highlight is the new cab design. It features a new monitor and button control layout as well as a suspension seat with heating.

The TB3150R is ready to work in a variety of applications, including digging and loading, and with a variety of attachments such as breakers, mulchers, mowers, and more.
