Mustang Track Loaders
Two Radial-Lift Loaders with the HydraTrac Auto Tensioning System
Mustang began in the 19th century as
the Owatonna Mfg. Co. Starting as an agricultural
implement manufacturer, Mustang
has since grown into a 21st century
compact equipment leader. Mustang built
its first skid steer in 1965. Entering the
track loader market in 2001, Mustang has
a lot of experience in the dedicated track
loader industry. Mustang track loaders are
manufactured in Yankton, S.D.
Mustang offers two track loader models
to meet the needs of today’s compact
equipment users. The 1750RT and 2100RT
integrate innovation with proven experience
to bring a new breed of track loader
to the market. Powerful and efficient Yanmar
engines rated at 68 and 71 hp are at
the core of Mustang track loaders. These
engines, in concert with standard anti-stall
technology and planetary final drive, contribute
to class-leading tractive effort and
fuel efficiency, says Mustang.
Models feature radial-lift loader arm geometry, offering
excellent power in ground-engaging applications, and additional
reach at trailer loading height. A low profile boom
design enhances visibility, while providing a class-leading lift
height of 128 in. Auxiliary hydraulic flow is standard (high
flow optional), with connect-under-pressure couplers. A standard
universal mechanical quick-attach plate contributes to
versatility, while an optional hydraulic quick-attach facilitates
change-over. Adjustable response control (5x5 Ride Control
System) is standard equipment, allowing operators to customize
machine response to joystick movements. Adjustable
speed control is optional, allowing operators to manage precise
ground speeds at specific engine revolutions.
Mustang track loaders feature a dedicated welded undercarriage
designed to withstand the most arduous of applications.
The undercarriage design assists in superior weight distribution,
which enhances stability, grading, tractive effort and ride control.
The HydraTrac automatic track tensioning system introduces a
new level of innovation, by automatically maintaining proper
track tension. Track life is extended, reducing operating costs,
and less maintenance is required to maintain track tension. Critical
drive hoses are routed on the interior of the chassis, unlike
competitors, protecting these vital components from damage.
Operators will appreciate the spacious, ergonomic operator
environment, says Mustang. Industry-leading safety is provided
by a standard Level 2 ROPS structure. A cab-forward
design offers excellent visibility to the bucket. Seat-mounted
joystick controls move with the contoured, fully adjustable
standard mechanical suspension seat. A two-piece restraint

makes easy work of operator ingress and egress. A standard
customizable color display monitors machine performance
and allows operators to customize machine functionality. An
exclusive tilt-out foot pod is easily cleaned when needed. An
optional sealed and pressurized cabin is available, with heat
and/or air conditioning. Electro-hydraulic controls are standard,
facilitating ease of operation.
The 1750RT and 2100RT are packed with standard features,
including hydraulic self-leveling, two-speed drive motors,
maintenance-free rollers, HydraTrac auto track tensioning
system and much more. In the RT Series, Mustang boasts, it
brings a whole new breed of track loader to the marketplace.
Advice to Buyers
“Even though there are a multitude of brands and options
when it comes to making a track loader purchase, you will soon
find that the major components are basically the same,” says
Sean Bifani, Mustang track loader product manager. “The key is
to first determine what you plan to do with the machine. What
tasks do you need to accomplish? What terrain and space do you
work in most often? What attachments do you already own and
what ones do you still need? Be sure to also consider the future
needs of the machine. Once these needs are established it will
be simple to narrow down your options in the market. Consider
the machine’s lift height, rated capacity and overall size. Review
the attachment options available as well as the requirements of
the hydraulic system on the machine. Review carefully the basic
daily maintenance of the machine and the tracks. Daily maintenance
should be easy to perform and components easy to access.
If you will be the operator, make sure the operator’s compartment
is comfortable and meets your environmental needs.”
