Takeuchi TL6R Troubleshooting

The Takeuchi TL6R compact track loader is powered by Kubota V2403-CR-TE4B vertical inline four-cylinder direct injection turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power of 65.2 hp (48.6 kW) at 2700 rpm. The Takeuchi TL6R is equipped with a two-speed hydrostatic transmission, radial-lift loader boom, hydraulic self leveling, 12.6" (320 mm) rubber tracks, and track rollers with metal face seals. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 17.8 gpm (67.4 lpm). The track loader has a rated operating capacity of 2635 lbs (1195 kg) and tipping load of 5270 lbs (2390 kg). The max lift height is 114.4" (2905 mm) to hinge pin, and bucket breakout force is 5930 lbs (2690 kg).
