Key Product Highlights

Industry-Leading Breakout Force: Features a heavy-duty digging arm and dual-stage hydraulic pumps that deliver over 7,400 lbs of aggressive bucket breakout force, cleanly ripping through rocky ledge, hard clay, and buried asphalt.
Spacious Operator Station: Outfitted with an ergonomic open canopy layout featuring high-back suspension seating and smooth, low-effort pilot joystick controls for fluid, precise handling during long shifts, has the pattern control change option i.e. SAE or ISO
Heavy-Duty Structural Steel: True to Takeuchi’s contractor-grade reputation, this machine features 100% steel body panels and a heavy-duty fully welded boom that withstands the brutal twisting and prying forces of demolition.
Side-Swing Independent Boom: Features an independent hydraulic boom-swing function, allowing you to offset the digging arm up to 80° left or 50° right to dig straight trenches directly alongside buildings, walls, and active roadways.

Primary Contractor & Commercial Applications

Deep Utility & Drainage Prep: Excavating water mains, installing deep residential sewer lateral tie-ins, and digging commercial grease trap pits.
Foundation & Pool Excavation: Carving out structural foundations for residential home additions, garages, large retaining wall tiers, and inground backyard swimming pools.
Demolition & Site Cleanup: Tearing down old wooden structures, breaking up concrete driveways, and loading high-volume debris into commercial dump trucks.
Commercial Land Clearing: Grabbing and pulling massive tree stumps, stripping thick topsoil sections, and digging out large agricultural drainage swales.

Fuel Requirements: This machine operates on Diesel Fuel only. It is provided with a full tank and must be returned completely full to avoid a heavy fleet refueling charge of $8/gallon.
Transport Requirements: Weighing nearly 8,000 lbs empty (and close to 10,000 lbs once loaded onto a trailer with attachments), this machine strictly requires a minimum 3/4-ton or 1-ton truck (F-250 / F-350 / 2500 series) paired with a heavy-duty dual-axle trailer (like the 25′ Power Tilt Equipment Trailer) outfitted with a 2-5/16″ hitch and working electric trailer brakes.
Daily Fleet Maintenance: The renter is responsible for visually checking track tension, cleaning large rock debris from the undercarriage track frame, and verifying engine oil and coolant levels before turning the key each morning.
Mandatory Utility Mapping: Renters are legally required to call 811 (Diggers Hotline) to map out underground gas, water, electric, and fiber optic lines at least 48 hours prior to breaking ground.
