Where the TW60 Series 2 Fits
The TW60 Series 2 is the smallest of Takeuchi's three articulated wheel loaders: 10,692 lbs with a 61.2 HP engine. It steers by articulating in the middle, which Takeuchi lists at 40 degrees, so it turns tightly without the tire scrub of a skid-steer turn.
It suits paved yards, nurseries, landscape supply, and municipal work, where a loader spends the day carrying material instead of digging. Travel speed is 12.4 mph, and tipping load with the machine straight is 6,724 lbs.
Takeuchi lists 12 degrees of center oscillation, which keeps the tires on uneven ground, and a hydrostatic drive with an inching pedal and locking differentials front and rear. The machine is 6 ft 4.6 in wide without a bucket and lifts to 10 ft 9.6 in at the bucket pin, with a dump height of 7 ft 6 in. Takeuchi lists the outside turning radius at 13 ft 0.3 in. The cab has heat, air conditioning, and a suspension seat.
