Michigan Tractor Shovel - Product Description

Powertrain and Design

The Michigan Tractor Shovel, Series II, is a modern construction machine that combines tested solutions with innovations. It retains a solid powertrain along with components such as a torque converter, hydrostatic transmission, and planetary wheel drive. Additionally, a better match between engine power and converter output allows for more effective operation in challenging conditions. Its design ensures high stability and durability across varied terrains.

Working System and Hydraulics

This machine features enhanced digging ability due to increased cylinder sizes and improved digging action. Automatic bucket levelers significantly improve operational comfort. Hydraulic functions facilitate faster lifting and dumping, translating into higher productivity. The increased dumping height and reach allow for effective and swift excavating tasks.

Operating Parameters

The models of Series II Michigan offer varied operational parameters. Model 554 has a maximum operating load of 3500 lbs, with a maximum dumping height of 86”. Model 754 offers a load capacity of 4500 lbs and a dumping height of 9’0”. Other models like 85A and 125A support loads up to 6000 lbs and heights up to 10’0”, making them suitable for a broader range of construction applications.

Optional Equipment

The machine is available in various configurations, allowing it to be tailored to specific user needs. Among the accessories are additional buckets and automation systems that facilitate handling. The optional Dial-A-Dump control allows the automatic stop of the bucket at a desired height, enhancing operational efficiency.

Safety and Technical Data

The Michigan Tractor Shovel ensures a high level of safety with additional braking systems that automatically decouple hydraulic drive when using brake pedals. Its heavy-duty frame design, along with protective seals, safeguards key pivot points, enhancing the machine's longevity. Technical specifications are aligned with SAE standards.
