Mini Skid Steer Loader: Boxer TD-327

Compact Power's Boxer TD-327 was unique among the seven machines at the Mini-Skid Workdays in that it was equipped with an adjustable-gauge track system. A control lever on the dash allows the operator to vary the width across the tracks from 34.5 to 43.5 inches. According to Compact Power, the adjustable-gauge feature allows the Boxer to maneuver through narrow areas, such as gates and paths, yet allows a wide stance for operating stability.

The TD-327 also features a speed-control system that can be used when trenching, or when using an attachment that must be operated slowly, but with high hydraulic power. To activate the system, the operator engages the "crawl valve" with a rotary controller at the upper right of the dash. The operator then selects low-speed travel with the switch under the left handgrip, sets the throttle to the desired engine speed, then fine-tunes ground speed with the rotary "crawl-speed" controller at the lower right of the dash.

The Boxer is equipped with a three-pump hydraulic system and can produce 14 gpm of hydraulic flow in its auxiliary circuit at a relief pressure of 3,000 psi. Powering the machine is a Perkins diesel engine rated at 26 horsepower. The TD-327 has a rated operating capacity of 600 pounds at 35 percent of its tipping load.
