Where the TL8R2 Fits

The TL8R2 is a mid-size radial-lift track loader: about 8,807 lbs with a canopy or 9,182 lbs with a cab, with 74.3 HP and a 2,116 lb rated operating capacity. Takeuchi lists it at 5 ft 5.4 in wide without a bucket.

Radial lift suits digging, grading, and backfilling, where reach at mid height and breakout force matter more than reach at full raise. Takeuchi lists an optional high-flow auxiliary circuit at 33.8 gpm, and high-flow models add a creep mode for attachments that need a slow, steady ground speed.

At full raise Takeuchi lists a bucket hinge pin height of 10 ft 1.3 in and a dump height of 7 ft 11.3 in. Ground pressure is 4.5 psi with a canopy and 4.6 psi with a cab, the lowest of the six Takeuchi track loaders.
