The loader has an operating weight of approximately 18,880 kg and provides a static tipping load of 14,200 kg, making it suitable for light to medium-duty applications. The hydraulic system utilizes a vane pump with 72.7 gallons per minute capacity and 3,263.4 psi relief valve setting. Cycle times are responsive, with a 5.8-second raise time, 1.7-second dump time, and 2.8-second lower time. The loader accommodates bucket capacities ranging from 3.0 to 9.5 cubic meters, with a standard configuration offering 4.1 cubic yards heaped capacity and 15,367 kg breakout force. Dimensionally, the L120D measures 26.7 feet in length with the bucket on ground, 8.8 feet in width over tires, and 11 feet in height to the top of cab. The 10.5-foot wheelbase and 26-degree rear axle oscillation provide excellent maneuverability and rough-terrain capability. The machine features wet disc brakes, fully floating axle shafts with planetary hub reductions, and a 100% differential lock on the front axle. Standard equipment includes the Care Cab II operator environment and Torque Parallel (TP) linkage for enhanced digging performance.
