The Takeuchi TL range comes with a 14-pin connector for electro-hydraulic controlled attachments such as planers, mulchers and augers. For specialist attachments the TL range comes with high-flow as standard on the TL8R-2,TL10V-2 and TL12V-2. Takeuchi UK managing director Daisuke (Yana) Yanagisawa said: “In the UK, the track loader market has been gradually growing over the years, and we see big opportunities in this market.
