Takeuchi unveils latest compact excavator

ATLANTA – Takeuchi-US announced the release of its newest compact excavator, the TB250-2. Weighing 10,957 pounds (canopy), the machine provides Takeuchi with a 5-ton excavator offering that is suited for a wide range of applications including landscape, general contracting and rental. 

Features on the excavator include a long arm with integrated thumb mount and a max dig depth of 12 feet 4.8 inches. Takeuchi Fleet Management telematics system or TFM comes standard on the unit. This system allows the owner to view machine vitals, location, utilization, performance, and maintenance data remotely.

A four-pump hydraulic system provides multi-function capability and precision pilot joysticks deliver smooth, metered control. The TB250-2 is also an excellent attachment platform. The primary auxiliary circuit delivers 24.2 gpm and is controlled using a proportional slide switch located on the left-hand joystick. The multi-function monitor makes it possible to adjust hydraulic flow rates from the cabin, and multiple presets allow attachments to be exchanged quickly and easily. Additionally, detent mode provides continuous oil flow for various types of hydraulically driven attachments helping to improve efficiency and reduce fatigue.  

The automotive-style interior is equipped with a high capacity HVAC system and rocker switches provide a wide range of functions. A large multifunction monitor keeps the operator informed of machine health and performance. The deluxe high back suspension seat features multiple adjustments for height, weight, fore and aft positions and tilt for greater comfort and customization.

The TB250-2 featured large hoods, which open overhead providing maintenance access. All grease points are clearly marked and easy to locate down one side of the machine. The fuel fill is located behind a lockable access panel and features a site gauge.

“Takeuchi is excited about the addition of the TB250-2 to the excavator line, and we look forward to providing today’s contractors with a machine that will meet and exceed their expectations on the most demanding jobsites,” says Mike Ross, director of product. “Listening to our customers is key to our success and we incorporate that feedback into each and every Takeuchi product to ensure the build quality, performance, and value is unmatched.”
