Nothing stands for toughness like Takeuchi. Because on any job site, when other machines are breaking down, a Takeuchi is still breaking in. It never complains, asks for a break or wants the day to end. All it wants is to keep at it. Keep working. Even when the job's done, because now it just wants the next one. As the toughest member of your crew, it simply won't quit unless you haul it away. And probably not then, either. Dig into our lineup of excavators, track loaders and wheel loaders. You can also check out our robust dealer network, Takeuchi Fleet Management and genuine parts. https://www.takeuchi-us.com/
