(42″ wide stance mode is available with other tires/rims and bucket)

Options (on this unit)

Attachments included: Comes with 36″ wide toothed general purpose construction bucket
Quick Attach: Yes, this machine does not rely on older style pin on connection to the bucket, but rather does use a unique to this model (443 and 453) single lever quick connect / detatch attachment plate that quickly allows for easy and quick connection to buckets, forks and other attachments (not all will be compatible with this particular connection style)
Auxilliary hydraulics: Yes, present; so hydraulic powered attachments can be used (auger, sweeper, breaker, etc)
Cab: open cab
Other: block heater

This machine would be ideal for:​
A must for any residential landscapers to have access to tight back yards. Also great for backfilling for waterproofing contractors, custom home builders in-fill houses’ foundation backfilling, etc.
