It’s a great option for contractors and landscapers who want more comfort features and need greater reach at mid-range heights.
What Makes the S450 Different
For operators who need a compact machine with real capability, the Classic S450 skid-steer loader delivers the features that matter most on daily jobs.
Two-Speed Travel
Spend less time traveling across the jobsite or between jobs with this option. Move faster and get the job done sooner.
Radius Lift Path
Easily dump over walls, backfill or load flatbed trucks with an arc pattern that provides greater reach at mid-range heights compared to a vertical lift path.
Non-DPF Engine
Engines meet emissions requirements without a diesel particulate filter (DPF), eliminating the need for time consuming regeneration.
Standard or Selectable Joystick Control
Selectable joystick control (SJC) is standard, with optional classic hand and foot controls available to match your preferences and work needs.
Power Bob-Tach
This option easily and quickly changes non-hydraulic attachments in seconds right from your seat with the push of a button. No dismounting. No wasted motion.
Deluxe Display With Rearview Camera Integration
The standard Deluxe Display with integrated rearview camera gives operators a clearer, more confident view of the job, making daily operation easier and more efficient.
