This design provides an excellent view of the bucket edges and corner, allowing the operator to quickly determine when the bucket is full and the position of the bucket relative to the loading target. |
 |
1) Lift Arm Cross Member A heat-treated lift arm cross member and improved weld procedures provide greater reliability and durability. |
 |
2) Lift Arm Mounting Lift arm to front frame area has been redesigned to permit the use of a larger pin. The casting in this area of the front frame has been optimized to reduce stresses. The bolted joint at the lift arm to bucket pin location has been removed to improve reliability. |
 |
3) Stress-Relieved Lift Arms Lift arms are stress relieved to eliminate residual stresses created during manufacturing and increase durability. |
 |
4) Auto Lube Bucket to lift arm joint (B-pin) is automatically lubricated to increase reliability and reduce daily servicing. |
