The TriTrax System features redesigned rollers that allow for reduced maintenance, as well as an upgraded outer frame and new roller positioning designed to allow smooth, comfortable operation and a lower ground pressure in combination with the 54.5-in. wheelbase. A patent-pending tension check window allows operators to visually check track tension without the need to thread a separate gauge tool.

The SK1750 retains the SK1550’s proven 1.57 L Yanmar 3TNV86CT Stage V/Tier 4 Final diesel engine rated 43.5 hp and with a bore x stroke dimension of 3.39 in. x 3.54 in. It also comes with a proven hydraulic system rated up to 16 gpm at 3,700 psi, with adjustable auxiliary hydraulic flow settings (3, 13 and 16 gpm).

The mini skid’s 1,800-lb. standard rated operating capacity can be increased to 2,000 lbs. with the optional weight kit. Lift height is 94.5 in.

The unit comes with a choice of a heavy-duty, solid welded mini plate or a full-size skid-steer plate to enable use of full-size skid-steer attachments. Dual or single ground drive joystick systems are available.
