TL10 and TL12 compact track loaders feature an "Eco Mode" and selectable auxiliary hydraulic work modes. Takeuchi's new TL10 and TL12 compact track loaders have been outfitted with Tier 4-Interim Kubota diesel engines and have a number of additional improvements. Both units use selectable engine power modes, allowing the operator to match engine performance to a specific task. Normal Mode is designed for general work; Power Mode produces peak engine power for tasks requiring maximum performance; and Eco Mode can provide up to a 15-percent fuel savings while still offering maximum torque, Takeuchi says. Eco Mode works by limiting engine speed to 2,400 rpm. When the engine load is less than 30 percent, the speed will automatically decrease to 2,400 rpm after 8 seconds. Conversely, when power demand exceeds 30 perecent, the engine speed will return to the throttle position setting.
