Its radial-lift arm design is engineered to deliver superior breakout forces for exceptional lifting power with fewer moving parts, making it particularly well suited for grading and dirt work. Rugged steel construction and a one-piece, purpose-built, fully welded frame offer greater strength and rigidity while protecting the engine and hydraulics. With 315 mm (12.4 in.) of ground clearance, the TL11R3 provides excellent flotation, traction and stability for navigating challenging terrain with ease. The machine’s undercarriage features heavy-duty sealed rollers with metal face seals to keep dirt and debris out, while double-reduction planetary drives and 450 mm (17.7 in.) tracks deliver powerful tractive effort.

Available in both standard- and high-flow configurations, the TL11R3 allows operators to adjust flow rates and attachment presets from inside the cab. The high-flow configuration delivers up to 153 L/min (40.4 gpm) of auxiliary flow for use with more powerful attachments like mulchers, cold planers and stump grinders. Swapping attachments is simple with the standard mechanical universal quick hitch, while a hydraulic universal quick hitch is optional. Additional available options include a 14-pin connector to enhance versatility and functionality with a wide range of attachments, as well as a 270-degree rearview camera to provide greater visibility around the machine.

Inside the TL11R3, operators will find a six-way, adjustable high-back suspension seat and an eight-inch touchscreen display for real-time machine vitals and visibility to the rearview camera, as well as access to the Bluetooth radio, HVAC controls and other machine functions. The track loader can operate whether its overhead roll-up door is open or closed, regardless of the loader arm position. A lockable hood, steel rear door and integrated bumper protect vital engine components, with the rear door also providing access to a swing-out cooling module for easy cleaning and inspection. The TL11R3’s 78.8 kW (105.7 hp) engine meets EU Stage V /EPA Tier 4 emission standards with a DOC, DPF and SCR after-treatment system.

Takeuchi Fleet Management (TFM) comes standard, providing owners and operators with remote access to machine data, including location, utilization, maintenance status and diagnostic information. TFM helps reduce downtime, improve service planning and enhance overall fleet management. The Takeuchi Access Management system further supports security by enabling keyless start and allowing owners to control operator access.

“The TL11R3 reflects Takeuchi’s commitment to delivering equipment that combines performance, reliability and ease of operation,” said Eubanks. “Whether customers are grading, loading material or using a variety of attachments, this compact track loader is engineered to provide the capability and confidence they need to be productive in a wide range of applications.”

Takeuchi Releases New TB3150 & TB3150R Excavators

NEW TAKEUCHI TB3150 & TB3150R EXCAVATORS PROVIDE OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE ACROSS DIVERSE JOBSITES

Sakaki-Machi, Japan (April 1, 2026): Takeuchi is updating its excavator lineup with the TB3150 and TB3150R, two new 15-ton class models that replace the TB2150 and TB2150R models while building on their proven performance. Designed to give contractors a choice based on jobsite needs, the TB3150 delivers enhanced versatility with a boom swing system for offset digging, a unique feature in the 15-ton class. Meanwhile, the TB3150R features a reduced tail swing and fixed-boom design, allowing it to work efficiently in confined spaces.

“These two new excavators reflect our focus on giving customers the right machine for the way they work,” said Clay Eubanks, director, sales and aftermarket, for Takeuchi. “The TB3150 and TB3150R each deliver meaningful improvements in performance, comfort and technology, while giving contractors the flexibility to choose between maximum versatility in open environments or a compact solution for confined jobsites.”

While both models share the same platform, their designs reflect two different approaches to excavator operation. The TB3150 features a boom swing system that allows operators to dig offset without repositioning the machine, making it well suited for utility work and applications that require precise positioning. In contrast, the TB3150R has a reduced tail swing design and a reinforced fixed boom configuration, minimizing rear overhang and allowing operators to work more confidently in confined areas or near structures.

Beyond their fundamental design differences, the two excavator models further tailor performance to specific applications. The TB3150R is available with an optional 2-piece boom, providing added flexibility for lifting and working at varying distances from the machine. Both models also incorporate Takeuchi’s latest 3-Series enhancements, including significantly increased hydraulic horsepower for improved performance during demanding, multi-function operations. An engine rated at 85 kW (114 hp) delivers the power required for a wide range of applications. All-steel construction—including the engine hood, side covers and access panels—provides increased durability on demanding jobsites.

In terms of performance, the TB3150 has an operating weight of 15,765 kg (34,755 lb), while the TB3150R ranges from 15,875 kg (35,000 lb) in mono boom configuration to 16,450 kg (36,265 lb) with the optional 2-piece boom. Both models deliver a maximum bucket breakout force of 96.3 kN (21,649 lbf), with arm digging forces up to 59.8 kN (13,444 lbf) on the TB3150 and 65.4 kN (14,703 lbf) on the TB3150R. Maximum digging depth reaches 5,445 mm (214.4 in.) on the TB3150 and up to 6,030 mm (237.4 in.) on the TB3150R, giving contractors strong excavation performance across a wide range of applications.

Inside the cab, operators benefit from a redesigned environment focused on comfort and ease of use, along with integrated technologies that support machine management, security and uptime. A redesigned operator’s station features pilot-operated joystick controls for precise operation of the working equipment, while electro-hydraulic (EH) controls are used for functions such as travel, dozer blade and boom swing. An intuitive jog dial and multi-switch control panel provide convenient access to common machine functions, with essential controls positioned on the right lever console and moving in sync with the operator’s seat for improved comfort during long workdays. An air suspension seat, automatic climate control and improved visibility help reduce fatigue, while an 8-inch touch screen display provides access to machine settings, 270-degree camera views and key operating information.
