The new TL11R3 CTL features electric-over-hydraulic controls for more precision and less fatigue
Takeuchi has introduced the TL11R3, the sixth model in its compact track loader product line.
The new CTL features new electric-over-hydraulic (EH) controls for greater precision in loader arm, bucket and travel speed operation.
“The TL11R3 delivers impressive torque and horsepower along with leading bucket breakout and lift-arm forces for maximum performance,” said Dylan Freeman, Product Manager for Takeuchi-US.
“And, with the addition of low-effort EH controls, this track loader helps even the most skilled operators work with more precision and control — elevating their craft while reducing fatigue.”
EH controls
The TL11R3’s advanced EH controls enhance jobsite productivity by making several new features possible.
CTL operators can instantly switch between ISO and H patterns through the machine’s monitor to match their preferences. As well, the TL11R3’s self-levelling up-and-down feature automatically keeps the bucket or attachment level while raising or lowering the loader arm for improved load handling.
Takeuchi also incorporated a 14-pin detent that provide continuous power to electrically operated attachments for uninterrupted operation. TL11R3 operators can adjust the track loader’s boom, bucket and travel sensitivity to match their needs for greater control during high-precision work.
In low-clearance environments, Takeuchi’s arm height limit feature prevents the TL11R3’s loader arm from exceeding a predetermined height, protecting attachments and surroundings from accidental damage.
Standard or high flow
The compact track loader is available in both standard- and high-flow configurations. The TL11R3 allows operators to adjust flow rates and attachment presets from inside the cab.
The high-flow configuration delivers up to 151 litres-per-minute of auxiliary flow for use with more powerful attachments like mulchers, cold planers and stump grinders.
Both configurations come equipped with a 14-pin connector to enhance versatility and functionality for a wide range of attachments.
Swapping attachments is simple with the mechanical universal quick attach on canopy models and the hydraulic universal quick attach on cab models.
A 270-degree rearview camera comes standard on the high-flow configuration and is optional on the standard-flow configuration.
The TL11R3 has an operating weight of 5,284 kg (canopy model), a rated operating capacity of 1,240 kg and a bucket breakout force of 3,609 kg.
Boom design
The compact track loader’s radial-lift boom design is engineered to deliver superior breakout forces for exceptional lifting power with fewer moving parts. This makes the TL11R3 particularly well suited for grading and dirt work.
Rugged steel construction and a one-piece, purpose-built, fully welded frame offer greater strength and rigidity while protecting the engine and hydraulics.
With 31-cm of ground clearance, the TL11R3 provides excellent flotation, traction and stability for navigating challenging terrain with ease. The machine’s undercarriage features heavy-duty sealed rollers with metal face seals to keep dirt and debris out, while double-reduction planetary drives and 45-cm tracks deliver powerful tractive effort.
In the cab
Inside the TL11R3, operators will find a six-way, adjustable high-back suspension seat and a 20-cm touchscreen display for real-time machine vitals and visibility to the rearview camera, as well as access to the Bluetooth radio, HVAC controls and other machine functions.
The compact track loader can operate whether its overhead roll-up door is open or closed, regardless of the loader arm position.

To protect the engine, Takeuchi equipped the machine with a lockable hood, steel rear door and integrated bumper. The CTL’s rear door also provides access to a swing-out cooling module for easy cleaning and inspection.
The TL11R3’s Kubota 107.3-hp engine meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) after-treatment system.
TFM
Takeuchi’s Fleet Management (TFM) telematics system is standard on the TL11R3 for five years. TFM reduces downtime and controls costs by providing owner/operators with machine health and condition, run time (hours) and machine location, as well as remote diagnostics, scheduled maintenance reminders and customizable alert settings.
TFM also gives owners the ability to geofence their machines, helping them protect and secure their investments.
“We believe the TL11R3 offers the perfect blend of power, durability and operator comfort to tackle even the toughest projects,” Freeman said. “We listened to our customers and designed the TL11R3 with features that make it one of the most capable, durable track loaders available on the market today. It’s ready to work whenever you are.”
The new TL11R3 joins Takeuchi’s existing compact track loader lineup that includes the 3.4-tonne TLR6, TL8R2 (4-tonne), TL10V2 (4.5 tonne), TL23R2 (5.5 tonne) and TL12V2 (5.8 tonne).
