material loading, speeding up repetitive moves and making the machine feel more predictable.

Empty cohesive or sticky materials effortlessly using the intuitive Bucket Shake function. Controlled directly from a joystick button, the system adapts its action based on lever position: neutral for a steady release, left to crowd and spread, or right for a fast, clean dump.

digging and loading, while keeping the machine stable when handling heavy loads."
