The new model features a standard two-way blade with float and an optional six-way blade. The zero tail-swing design provides excellent access to tight sites but counterweights can be added for further balance and confidence. Standard two-speed travel with automatic shift down improves performance when tracking/carrying up hill. Standard multifunction (1-way/2-way) hydraulics and standard second auxiliary (2-way) circuit make these D Series machines set up for attachments; a third auxiliary circuit is also available. Each machine comes standard with a thumb bracket ready for an optional thumb. Additional optional features are available.
