Overview

P-Tier updates build on the proven G-series design. Take front joint durability to new levels compared to G-series.

• With proper maintenance, the new top hat bushing, hardened pin and 2-Sided Mud and Dirt (2MAD) seals have proven as much as double the joint life when digging in sandy conditions which typically reduce pin and bushing life. 
• Increased sealing performance through the 2MAD seal provides superior sealing properties, keeps dirt and debris out and increases life. 
• Increased pin case depth hardening from +2mm to +5mm.  
• New design makes the bushing serviceable, reducing the need for costly line boring and maximizing uptime. 
• Grease point at arm tip for easy greasing and extended uptime. 
• Better torque retention at the clamp reduces the likelihood of front hydraulic pipes moving. 
• Hydraulic lines routed on top of the boom for added protection.  
• Grease point at arm tip for easy greasing and extended uptime
• Better torque retention at the clamp reduces the likelihood of front hydraulic pipes moving
• Redesigned boom foot bushings improve durability
