What happens here

Moving to the rear of the loader, Ed demonstrates the easy access to the Cummins engine through the electrically operated "gull-wing" service hood. He points out the battery disconnect switch and the hood's electric release switch. He highlights the cooling package's rear location and its time-set reversing fan, which helps keep the radiators clean in dusty conditions by blowing out debris. The cooling package itself is comprehensive, including an air-to-air intercooler for the engine, the main radiator, a transmission oil cooler, an AC condenser, and a hydraulic oil cooler. All components are designed to swing out or open for easy, dual-sided cleaning, making maintenance highly accessible.

Goal: Show the ease of engine maintenance and the efficient cooling system

What they say

a look around a little bit more. All right, as we come to the back, >> what are we seeing? >> So, obviously, we talked about the Cumins engine. I mean, one of the things that's really hard to beat with this machine is the dull wing service hood. So, we talked about this compartment here. You're going to have your battery disconnect switch here. You're going to have your switch for the hood here, which is electric. Okay. So, basically, you push that switch up, it's going to bring >> Let's bring it down and then let's bring it back up so these guys can see it. We don't want to we don't want to explain what it does when they could just hit a button and show what it does. >> We're coming back down. But, you know, we'll see when we go back up. You know, it's really easy to operate and to access and it really gives you, you know, complete access to the engine. We'll go down and then let's just button it up all the way up so these guys can see how you guys have designed this. >> All right, we're going back up. >> Okay, before you do, you actually have your You actually have here you have a three-part system to open up. So, you've got there and here as well. So, that gives you that's how you get the complete access. Go ahead and head up, bud. Mike, how long have you been selling these? >> Our third year. >> Have you had any trouble with this so far? >> How's No. How I was going to ask you how how is the track record been on >> on the loaders and excavators? We have very few issues. >> Why do you qualify it? I'm saying on the loaders and excavators. >> Oh, why why do I qualify it? >> Yeah, >> we haven't had we haven't had any issues. As a matter of fact, we were just having lunch on our way over and my biggest service call this year was a single coupler lining up the pin to connect the metal plus snow blade. >> So that sucks for you. [laughter] >> Well, yeah. It's not great for service, >> right? Guys, you know, you guys don't realize this. Guys like Mike make diddly squat on selling these machines. They don't make any money on them. They might as well just go here, take this machine for what it costs me. They make their money on doing maintenance and repairs and helping guys uh you know keep running. I mean it is what it is. That's that's an industry secret that some guys don't realize but other guys do know. What else do we need to know about the back end though?…
