Operator Comfort
The pilot operated joystick controls deliver precise and responsive movements that are low effort and reduces fatigue.
Serviceability
The side-by-side radiator and hydraulic oil cooler increases cooling capacity and are easy to inspect, clean and maintain.
Durability
The heavy duty offset boom structure uses four large kingpins to distribute shock and forces through the main frame for exceptional durability.
Performance
The side-to-side boom provides unmatched visibility to the working equipment and allows the machine to operate in confined areas.
TB280FR
Compact Mini Excavator
The TB280FR features a patented side-to-side (STS) offset boom combined with the tight tail swing for unmatched visibility to the work equipment and enables it to rotate fully with very little overhang. Its low center of gravity and optimized counterweight placement creates an extremely stable platform with lifting capabilities similar to that of a conventional machine.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Full Rotation Design
- Unique STS boom and short tail swing design combine to make the FR series excavators an outstanding platform for work in urban areas, road and bridge construction, and other applications with limited space.
Operator Focused

Function and Efficiency
- The variable displacement axial piston pump delivers smooth, harmonized control of the work equipment with no reduction in speed.
- The standard long arm provides you with a wider working range and dig depth.
- Having three auxiliary circuits allows you to run a wide range of hydraulically driven attachments and have a dedicated hydraulic coupler circuit.
- High flow capabilities of the primary auxiliary circuit will allow you to operate a broader range of hydraulically driven attachments, such as mowers, mulchers, and plate compactors.
- Load sensing, two speed travel down shifts from low torque/high speed mode to high torque/low speed travel automatically when turning, pushing dirt, or traveling up an incline.
- Large slew bearing provides greater longevity and stability over the life of the machine.
- Cushioned cylinders improve longevity by reducing shock and they reduce felt recoil to the operator for greater comfort.
- Available case drain line kit is recommended for use with an excavator mulcher.
Takeuchi Fleet Management
- 2 Year Standard Service
- Minimize Downtime
- Remote Diagnostics
- Utilization Tracking
- Proactive Maintenance
- Control Costs
- Geofencing
Increased Protection
- All steel construction ensures body integrity through greater strength and rigidity and protects key components from damage.
- Heavy duty counterweight protects vital engine and hydraulic components from damage.
- Triple flange track rollers improve track life by providing greater support, and they feature multiple contact points that reduce the risk of de-tracking.
Ease of Maintenance
- Rear hood opens high overhead, and the right side cover swings open providing exceptional access to inspection and maintenance points.
- Tilting the cabin forward will enable you to access the control valve, slew motor, and engine.
Peace of Mind
- The safe start system requires the safety lockout lever be in the raised position in order to start the excavator ensuring hydraulic functions are inactive at start-up.
- The boom holding valve and overload alarm are designed to keep the boom from dropping if there is a sudden loss in pressure, and the overload alarm will sound (when ON) if you exceed hydraulic capacity.
- Available drop-in 1/2″ poly carbonate glass or heavy duty 1/2″ poly carbonate window guard with steel frame, and steel front guard group provide the added protection you need when using hydraulically driven attachments.
