Takeuchi TL26 expert review

Reviewed by Wade A. on May 3, 2026

Overview

The Takeuchi TL26 (1998–2003) is a compact track loader designed for light loading, grading, cleanup, landscaping, and soft-ground work. It delivers 45.49 kilowatt gross power, 594.21 kg lifting capacity, 2236.21 kg breakout force, and a 2.41 m dump height, making it practical for buyers who need a simple tracked loader for smaller daily jobs.

Expert rating: 3 stars

Pros Compact footprint, good hydraulic flow, and useful track traction for lighter work.
Cons Older design with limited lifting capacity and basic operator comfort.

Performance & Efficiency

The 4JB1 four-cylinder engine produces 45.49 kilowatt gross power, giving the TL26 dependable output for grading, cleanup, light loading, and small material handling tasks. Its 68.13 lpm hydraulic pump flow, 156.92 bar relief pressure, and 2236.21 kg breakout force support steady bucket work, while the compact 1.55 m width over tracks helps it work in tighter access areas.

In Comparison

Cat 257: Larger and stronger, with better capability for heavier loading and broader jobsite use.
Cat 247: Comparable compact track loader with better market familiarity and useful all-round performance.
Takeuchi TL26: More value-focused and simpler, with useful traction and compact dimensions for lighter daily work.

Final Verdict

Rated 3 stars, the Takeuchi TL26 is a basic but practical compact track loader within the AED 38,000–80,000 range. It suits buyers who need track traction, simple operation, and compact size more than heavy lifting power or modern cab refinement.
