•     

• Power dense ACERT engine burns less fuel by providing power and torque when needed.

•     

• Performance Series Buckets feature a longer floor that easily digs through the pile resulting in lower fuel consumption.

•     

• Load sensing hydraulics result in proportional flow for implement and steering on demand.

•     

• Standard productive Economy Mode provides maximum fuel savings with minimal productivity impact.

*Actual results may vary based on factors such as, but not limited to, machine configuration, operator technique, machine application, climate, etc.
