It has a 272.2kg ISO-rated operating
capacity and a tipping capacity of 777.9kg.
Vertical lift paths are designed to keep
the load closer to the machine, allowing it
to lift more than a similar-sized mini skid
steer with a radial lift path. A vertical lift
path also provides a higher lift height, and

New mini skid steer features increased lifting capacity
to the control loader arms and auxiliary
hydraulic functions. This design provides
dedicated pumps to power specific
functions, allowing the machine to be
more productive than systems with fewer
pumps,” Steve said.
An enhanced operator’s station
features a single pilot-operated
joystick for smooth operation and
is more convenient to handle than
dual controls.
The CTX50 features 17.8cm rubber
tracks, and a high-mounted track
sprocket design helps keep the
drive sprocket out of the dirt to
reduce premature wear in tough
ground conditions.
The stand-on platform also helps
keep the operator out of the mud
and debris and provides optimal
viewing of attachments during
operation.
The universal attachment plate allows for
quick change of a variety of attachments,
making the CTX50 a versatile machine for
a variety of applications.
