Australian Earthmoving – June 2018

Takeuchi has released its all-new TB225 2.3 tonne
mini excavator, the latest model in its mini excavator
range. The machine’s 1,330 cc 16.5 kW Yanmar diesel
produces 16.5 kW of power; a significant increase
in performance compared with earlier comparable
Takeuchi models.

The TB225 is the largest machine in the market where
track width can be reduced to a handy 1,100mm to
access internal door openings and very narrow side
access of structures. When the excavator’s tracks
are fully expanded to 1,500mm, this provides the
stability needed to get the optimum performance
and productivity from the extra hydraulic power and
bucket digging force of 19.3 kN.

The TB225 has a long undercarriage and ground
clearance of 190 mm and the 1,790 mm of track-to-
ground contact makes for better flotation. Triple-
flanged rollers keep the tracks in place to deliver
positive traction on high gradients.

Dual auxiliary hydraulic lines produce hydraulic
flow at up to 38.5 l/m, operating three working

pumps, including a slew/blade pump that improves

operational speed and functional control.

The machine’s standard long arm gives a digging

depth of 2,580 mm and at ground level, enables

the bucket reach to 4,240 mm and dump loads at a

height of 2,875 mm.

The TB225 incorporates loads of other features

such as auto engine and hydraulic detent function

pre-set flow to suit your attachment applications.

Other features include proportional controls, smooth

hydraulic pilot joystick controls that deliver precise

action, two-speed travel with automatic shift, a blade

that’s adjustable without tools, auto deceleration and

a hydraulic piloted travel lever.

Large, lockable service covers let you access

components at ground level and service points are

conveniently located. Finally, the TB225 is still within

the weight limit that lets you tow your machine

behind a 3.5 tonne capacity ute.
