Mustang Introduces Zero-Tail Swing Model

Mustang Manufacturing Co., Owatonna, Minn., has introduced a zero-tail swing compact excavator model to its selection of 10 compact excavators—the 3803ZT.

The zero-tail swing design eliminates rear overhang and provides increased maneuverability and visibility to the operator, and the new model also features a side-mounted engine and rear-mounted hydraulic and fuel tanks.

Other features of the 3803ZT include:

·       Standard SAE/ISO pattern control valve, which allows operators to change the pilot controls between a backhoe or excavator pattern without tools.

·       Automatic swing break, which locks the upper structure in position when the engine is turned off to avoid movement of the upper structure during transport.

·       Sealed track rollers, which are designed to reduce friction and noise between the tracks and rollers.

·       Long arm standard equipment.

·       Optional 330-pound factory installed counterweight.
