Allmand Backhoe Features Servo-Controlled Hydrostatic Transmission

HOLDREGE, Neb. — The Allmand TLB-425 ESL heavy-duty compact tractor loader backhoe features a servo-controlled hydrostatic transmission, a powerful 25-horsepower diesel engine and an exclusive ESL backhoe design to deliver superior performance on a variety of excavation and earthmoving applications.

Powered by a 25-horsepower Kubota D1105 diesel engine, the TLB-425’s 65-horsepower rated hydrostatic transmission boasts a servo-control feature, allowing the operator infinite control of the machine as well as reduced pedal effort in both forward and reverse. Additionally, the transmission case is constructed from cast iron to minimize noise.

Allmand’s ESL backhoe design features oversized polished pins with replaceable composite bearings and urethane lip seals in all working joints. This design greatly reduces friction and extends service intervals by eliminating metal-to-metal contact, retaining grease levels and keeping out debris. For added safety, the TLB-425 backhoe features Allmand’s exclusive, heavy-duty boom lock that can be engaged or disengaged from the operator’s seat.

The unit’s industrial class backhoe delivers a 4,611-pound digging force and reaches up to a nine-foot, six-inch digging depth. Dual cylinder, 180-degree hydraulic cushioned swing allows precise work in tight areas.

With a maximum lift capacity of 2,100 pounds and a 3,400-pound breakout force, the TLB-425 loader bucket meets the needs of virtually any application. A maximum loading height of 90 inches enables the 1/2-cubic-yard loader bucket to dump loads where other compact tractors cannot reach. With the universal quick-attach option on the loader, the unit can accept many skid steer attachments, such as pallet forks.

The unit’s load-sensing hydraulic steering system ensures hydraulic flow activates only when the operator turns the steering wheel. This system increases productivity and enhances performance by providing the maximum available hydraulic power to the backhoe, loader or attachment. To extend the life of hydraulic components, the TLB-425 features a high-capacity hydraulic oil cooler.

Oversized tie rods, a 7,000-pound capacity front axle and an off-highway planetary rear axle assembly provide superior strength and stability, enabling the unit to handle severe terrain with less slippage. Other standard features include heavy-duty front-end bumper, rounded hood, float control on the front-end loader bucket, easily accessible service ports and high flotation, low ground pressure tires.

An optional auxiliary hydraulic package is available to run attachments such as cut off saws, jackhammers or crimpers. Other optional equipment includes auxiliary hydraulics, turf tires and various bucket sizes.

Ergonomic controls minimize operator fatigue, and a custom-designed operator seat provides a commanding view of both the loader and backhoe work areas. Certified four-post ROPS and retractable seatbelt are standard.
