Up to speed

Oct. 24, 2008

Kubota has announced its R520S wheel loader (Circle 905), which offers better visibility, more power and productivity. The 46-gross-hp R520S is loaded with capabilities, including electric shuttle shift lever to allow on-the-go directional change without clutching or braking and load sensing transmission (LST), which automatically adjusts speed and torque. Clutchless electric shuttle shifting allows quick, smooth shifting between forward and reverse without the need to brake. A travel speed limiter switch governs speed, important when operating in confined areas or over uneven ground.

Full articulation means a small turning radius combined with exceptional maneuverability. The R520S is ideal for working inside existing structures or confined spaces and offer excellent performance on turf and other ground surfaces such as dirt or gravel.
