Improved front joint durability
Improved Arm/Bucket Bushing, Pin and Seal for Increased Durability
Overview
P-Tier updates build on the proven G-series design. Take front joint durability to new levels compared to G-series.
With proper maintenance, the new top hat bushing, hardened pin and 2-Sided Mud and Dirt (2MAD) seals have proven as much as double the joint life when digging in sandy conditions which typically reduce pin and bushing life.
Increased sealing performance through the 2MAD seal provides superior sealing properties, keeps dirt and debris out and increases life.
Increased pin case depth hardening from +2mm to +5mm.
New design makes the bushing serviceable, reducing the need for costly line boring and maximizing uptime.
Grease point at arm tip for easy greasing and extended uptime.
Better torque retention at the clamp reduces the likelihood of front hydraulic pipes moving.
Hydraulic lines routed on top of the boom for added protection.
Redesigned boom foot bushings improve durability
Quickly change attachments with integrated hydraulic coupler ready option
Overview
Factory installed hydraulic plumbing all the way to the end of the arm. Coupler controls integrated into a switch in the cab. Quick and efficient coupler installation. Popular in the underground segment, couplers allow excavators to efficiently switch attachments and get more productive working hours each day.
Ease of installation – pin on the coupler, connect the hydraulics, get to work
Compatible with multiple coupler manufacturers (see dealer for details)
Mounting provisions: The excavator is pre-configured with mounting points and interfaces to easily attach a hydraulic coupler.
