Values are manufacturer-published or faithfully converted from the cited manufacturer record. Manufacturer-published dual units are retained where available, and the basis column travels with every value.| Specification | Metric | Imperial | Standard / configuration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net engine power | 26.8 kW | 35.9 hp | Manufacturer-published net output |
| Operating weight | 4,920 kg | 10,847 lb | Manufacturer reference configuration |
| Maximum digging depth | 3.53 m | 11 ft 7 in | Manufacturer reference configuration |
| Maximum ground reach | 5.96 m | 19 ft 7 in | Manufacturer reference configuration |
What the specifications mean
Depth and reach are close-category screening values, not productivity guarantees.
Add coupler, bucket and transported tools to the machine reference weight.
Net output should be compared on the same manufacturer basis.
Configurations and options to verify
- Cab, canopy, arm, blade, tracks, coupler and bucket need serial-specific confirmation.
- Auxiliary and attachment-control options affect tool compatibility.
- Published operating weight is not a complete trailer payload.
Used 50 P-Tier inspection priorities
- Check rubber tracks, sprockets, rollers and idlers together; inspect final-drive leakage and travel response.
- Measure boom, arm, bucket, swing-post and blade-pin play, then test drift under load.
- Operate auxiliary hydraulics and the coupler with the intended tool where practical.
- Verify safety interlocks, display warnings, service access and cold-start behaviour.
Hours, condition and ownership cost
Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.
Cost drivers to model
- Track-system wear, compact access repairs and attachment utilization shape hourly cost.
- Separate idle hours from productive duty and review daily greasing and service evidence.
- Include trailer, tow vehicle, loading equipment and attachment changes in mobilization cost.
Attachments and compatibility
- Confirm pin pickup or coupler interface, tool weight and hydraulic requirements.
- Buckets, breakers, thumbs, augers and compactors can require different plumbing or controls.
- Check blade and counterweight configuration when attachment stability matters.
Transport planning
- Use scale-ready operating weight plus the actual bucket, coupler, blade and fluids—not the rounded machine class.
- Measure width and height in travel condition and confirm trailer, axle and tow-vehicle limits independently.
