They want to be better than Cat, Volvo and John deere.

What happens here

Ed demonstrates the front-end features of the Hyundai wheel loader, starting with the standard ISO-style quick coupler. He emphasizes that this coupler is factory-installed, providing an economical solution and ensuring full warranty coverage. He also mentions other common coupler styles like J-R-B and A-C-S. He then highlights the extended reach (XT) loader arms on the HL940A XT model, which are approximately 1.5 feet longer than standard arms. He explains that extended arms improve visibility of the attachment, which is beneficial for certain applications, though they might slightly reduce the tipping load capacity. Standard arms, conversely, offer a tighter turning radius.

Goal: Detail the quick coupler system and the extended reach loader arm option

What they say

Hide

an ISO style quick coupler. Okay. >> So um actually you can configure our loaders with any quick coupler that you'd like to but the the Hyundai quick coupler ISO quick coupler from the factory uh is uh very economical for the customer. Has a really good price point. >> What's the other options out there and why is this better than what the other guys are offering? So, so from uh from this there's a another um coupler that customers use a lot is is the the JRB style >> JRB style, ACS style. But I think I think um the thing that sets this one apart from the Hyundai perspective is that it it come it comes from the factory. So all all the plumbing the coupler comes directly from the factory. So if you can utilize the ISO coupler, it's just a it's a good benefit. So then since it's coming directly from the factory, it's covered under the factory warranty and a guy doesn't have to do any modifications which could then become a question down the road. >> That's that's an excellent point. Thank you very much. That's right. So basically the Hyundai coupler, you know, from the factory would have this the same 3ear 3,000 hour warranty that the machine has. >> Okay. Yeah. >> All right. So we're in the front. What else do we want to look at while we're up here? So, um, this happens to be an extended reach loader. >> So, the loader arms are about a foot and a half longer. This is a 940 XT. Um, and then the standard machine would just be a a 940. >> Perfect. Why would a guy want an XT over just the standard? >> So, for the XT, basically, it's for extended reach applications where maybe you've got to push snow up a little bit higher. Okay. You know, the advantage of a standard machine with the standard loader arms would basically be turning radius and a able to maneuver a little bit. >> Is there any difference in quality and digging between the two? >> So, if you're going to put the loader arms out a little further, you are going to lose a a little bit of performance. >> Okay. So, how are you going to lose performance in the day in the breakout force? Because my experience has been when my loader arms are out more forward, it gives me from way up in the cab the ability to look down and see exactly where I'm at. I prefer them out further because I know where my cutting edges are at. I know where my bucket is at where when they're really tight, you're almost guessing. >> Yeah. Okay. >> So,…
