Rough outline:
So essentially a mini telehandler with hybrid tractor/skid steer functionality. hopefully not a jack of many master of none.
- 48" wide maximum - Fit in the bed of a truck in lightweight configurations/general manuverability
- Aluminum SSQA/Loader Arm(s) - For maximum lifting capacity
- 4x4 - hydraulic hub motors nested deep inside large offset wheels with short sidewall
- All Wheel Steering - with the steering pivot as close to the centerline of the wheel as possible to reduce clearance requirements as much as possible
- Square Footprint
- Same tire size all the way around
- Selectable steering operation - just like the Bobcat A300 (All wheel steer, front wheel steer, skid steer, and optionally spin in place)
- Telehandler boom configuration
- Optional rear 3-pt hitch configuration with Hydraulically driven PTO
- Kubota 3cyl diesel
- Side entry/exit with a low operator height
- Mid mount PTO, maybe with option of mower deck
- Optional active ballast weight system that is a lead plate that shifts from all the way in the front to all the way out back as needed
