Verified specifications
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine power (rating basis unconfirmed) | 35.5 kW | 47.6 hp | At 2,400 rpm |
| Operating-weight range | 5,500–5,735 kg | 12,125–12,645 lb | Canopy to cab |
| Maximum digging depth | 3,895 mm | 12 ft 9.4 in | Manufacturer reference configuration |
| Maximum ground reach | 6,270 mm | 20 ft 6.9 in | Manufacturer reference configuration |
| Hydraulic flow | 102.2 L/min | 27.0 US gpm | Published primary circuit |
What the specifications mean
The published auxiliary flow supports demanding tools but does not by itself confirm compatibility.
Use the cab or canopy weight matching the machine under review.
Reach and depth are strong screening values; lift work still requires the correct chart.
Configurations and options to verify
- Takeuchi publishes separate canopy and cab weights.
- Primary and secondary auxiliary circuits should be identified on the individual machine.
- Arm, bucket, coupler, blade and track configuration affect final working and travel dimensions.
Used TB260 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.
