Mini Skid Steer Loader: Thomas 35DTSOURCE A distinctive feature of the Thomas 35DT is the design of its hydraulic system. Three hydraulic valves (a selector valve, combined valve and flow-control valve) allow the operator, says Thomas, to precisely apportion hydraulic flow from the machine's two pumps between the drive system and implement/auxiliary system. The valves are positioned by two switches on the panel and a rotary-type controller. The 35DT also provides two auxiliary-hydraulic circuits, complete with two sets of quick-connect fittings. One circuit is controlled by a cylinder spool and used for such functions as grapple operation. The second circuit is controlled by a motor spool, which allows gradual slow-down of powered attachments to protect drive motors. Instant Vendor ComparisonSelect the vendors that you would like to compare The Thomas machine uses a 12-volt electrical system, with a full-size skid-steer battery, which is accessed from a panel on the lower front frame. Working lights are standard equipment, as is a 12-volt control circuit for operating electrically actuated attachment functions, such as a snow-blower chute. A panel at the top of the operator's station folds downward to allow access to daily service checkpoints, as well as to electrical and hydraulic components. A removable lower panel gives access to the engine. To assist in positioning the machine where it needs to work (perhaps on a roof or below grade), lifting lugs are built into the top ends of the loader mechanism.  The attachment coupler is a universal (skid-steer) type. The machine's side-by-side radiator and hydraulic oil cooler (at the front of the frame) is designed for efficient cooling, says Thomas. The company also makes the point that the loader linkage is self-leveling and that the transmission housings are built into the frames and compeltely enclosed.  The two steering levers on the left of the panel allow the machine to be "palm steered," says Thomas. To the right of the steering levers are the auxiliary-hydraulic circuit selector (flow direction is controlled by the upper-panel lever) and the joystick implement controller. The green button on the dash must be pushed to unlock all machine functions. The fuel tank (right) and hydraulic tank (left) are integral with the machine's frame.
