(612 kg) at 35 percent tipping load. The Mustang by Manitou 1350RT features a 46.6-hp Yanmar engine that utilizes automatic regeneration and zero fuel additives, providing clean emissions with little to no effort from the operator.

Built on the proven design of the Mustang by Manitou 1350R skid loader, the 1350RT track loader provides enhanced weight distribution, stability and tractive effort. In addition, the cab-forward design of the 1350RT has a Level II FOPS and excellent visibility on all sides of the machine, allowing for precise material placement, according to the manufacturer.

Mustang by Manitou's IdealTrax track tensioning system on the 1350RT saves on maintenance and track replacement costs by automatically tensioning the tracks when the engine is on. This process eliminates the chance of over-tensioning and extends the life of the tracks up to 15 percent. Track tension is released when the engine is turned off, reducing strain on sprockets and bearings. With IdealTrax there is no need to manually tension the tracks and changes on the job site are quick and simple.

In addition, the Mustang by Manitou 1350RT track loader provides versatility on the job site with an exclusive Multi-Tach attachment mounting system that is compatible with most allied track loader attachments. The Mustang by Manitou 1350RT is customizable with additional features including a fully-integrated back-up camera and a HydraGlide system for a smoother ride and less material loss. An additional self-leveling option keeps the attachment level while the unit is performing the lift function.

The addition of the Mustang by Manitou 1350RT brings the full track loader offering for North America up to 10 models that range from a small to large frame with operating capacities up to 3,200 lb.
