What the specifications mean
The published T870 values remain attached to their stated configuration and rating basis.
Attachment excluded from transport length and width. Manufacturer non-current archive, first published column: 100 hp, operating weight 12925 lbs, standard bucket. Serial range and emissions generation are not identified by this archive column.
An individual machine must be verified by serial/PIN, installed equipment and actual measurements.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.
Used T870 inspection priorities
- Inspect tracks, sprockets, rollers, idlers and final drives as one wear system.
- Check lift arms, coupler locks, cylinders, frame and tower repairs.
- Load-test standard or high-flow hydraulics and cooling when equipped.
- Match the T870 model plate, fitted equipment and serial/PIN to the cited generation and configuration.
Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.
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
- Undercarriage life and debris exposure can dominate near-term cost.
- High-flow tools change fuel, heat rejection and wear.
- Counterweights, cab, controls and technology affect value and transport.

Attachment considerations
Relationships below identify relevant classes only unless a stronger evidence state is shown. They never assert exact used-attachment fitment.
Compact-loader buckets and forks
Verify mounting interface, ROC basis, tool weight, load centre.
Open attachment researchHigh-flow and powered work tools
Verify flow, pressure, case drain, electrical controls.
Open attachment researchBefore confirming fitment
- generation and machine configuration
- mounting interface, coupler or pin geometry
- hydraulic flow, pressure, return and case drain
- attachment weight and machine capacity limits
- electrical controls or required machine options
Model-reference transport profile
Transport reference
Reference measurements retain their configuration and verification status. Confirm the actual transport setup before booking.
Reference specifications can differ from the actual configured machine. Confirm dimensions and weight before booking transportation.
Confirm or replace before a transport request
- actual weight
- actual travel length, width and height
- attachments and removable work tools
- bucket, blade, carriage or boom position
- loading condition
