Operating weight*

* *Static tipping loads and operating weights shown are based on a machine configuration with Michelin 26.5R25 XHA2 L3 Radial tires, full fluids, operator, standard counterweight, cold start, roading fenders, Product Link, open differential axles (front/rear), power train guard, secondary steering, and sound suppression. **Measured 102 mm (4") behind tip of cutting edge with bucket hinge pin as pivot point in accordance with SAE J732C. (§) Specifications and ratings conform to all applicable standards recommended by the Society of Automotive Engineers, including SAE Standard J732C governing loader ratings. (ISO) Full compliance to ISO 14397-1 (2007) Sections 1 thru 6, which requires 2% verification between calculations and testing. (Rigid Tire) Compliance to ISO 14397-1 (2007) Sections 1 thru 5.
