versatility. Other buckets, Quick Couplers and

brakes are designed for long life and easy access and
overhaul. Standard spin-on filters, remote mounted
grease fittings and oil drain simplify maintenance.
The standard 20.5 x 25-12PR (L2) tires and optional

23.5 x 25-12PR (L3) tires use heavy duty three-piece
rims for easy servicing in the field.
