With 107.3 horsepower and an operating weight of 11,650 pounds, the CTL is engineered to deliver high breakout forces, Takeuchi says, making it suitable for grading and dirt work.
The operator's station features an 8-inch touchscreen multi-information display that integrates Bluetooth radio and air-conditioning controls within the screen.
In addition, there is a standard rearview camera. Rated operating capacity is 2,735 pounds.
A high-flow version is available for attachments needing more hydraulic flow, such as cold planers and mulchers.
