Takeuchi's new generation TB335R short tail swing compact excavator features a sophisticated interior and exterior design, as well as enhanced functions that provide greater performance and peace of mind, according to a press release from the company. It's part of the TB300 Series.

“The TB335R’s short tail swing design results in a rear overhang of only 3.1” over the tracks, making it ideal for working in tight or confined spaces,” said David Caldwell, national product manager for Takeuchi. “It also provides outstanding stability rarely found in a short tail swing machine, along with smooth, intuitive controls that help operators tackle tough jobs with ease.”

By the Numbers

The cab model TB335R has an operating weight of 8,310 lbs., a maximum bucket breakout force of 9,127 lbs., and a maximum arm digging force of 4,290 lbs. The excavator is powered by an Environmental Protection Agency Tier 4 emission-compliant engine delivering 24.4 hp (18.2 kW) and a maximum torque of 70.6 ft-lbs. The TB335R offers two working modes – Standard and ECO – allowing operators to match the mode to the task they are completing, choosing more power or fuel savings as desired.

Inside the Cab

The TB335R’s spacious cab includes a 7.0-inch touchscreen, multi-function color display. Canopy models offer a 4.3-inch, high-definition, multi-function display. Cab models also feature an air conditioner, heat/defrost functions, a windshield wiper and washer, a skylight with a sunshade, and AM/FM radio with Bluetooth technology. Both cab and canopy models have low-effort, pilot-operated joystick controls, a deluxe high-back suspension seat with head rest and retractable seat belt to keep operators comfortable and productive.

Telematics System Included

The Takeuchi Fleet Management (TFM) telematics system is standard on the TB335R during the warranty period. With TFM, owners and operators can remotely connect to their Takeuchi track loaders and excavators. TFM delivers alerts and machine information such as location, utilization, performance and maintenance status, as well as insights into how and where equipment is being operated.
