The Takeuchi TL120 is a compact track loader from the Japanese maker Takeuchi, built in Japan with a water-cooled diesel engine. According to ritchiespecs a turbocharged four-cylinder Yanmar 4TNV84T sits under the hood; it produces 52 hp gross at 2,800 rpm and reaches its peak torque of 123 lbf-ft at 1,680 rpm.
Operating weight is around 5,952 lb and operating load 1,246 lb. The working hydraulics deliver 15 gal/min at a relief pressure of 3,000 psi. The tracks are 11.67 in wide, with four rollers per side and a ground pressure of 4.6 psi. The crawler undercarriage spreads the weight over a large area, so the compact loader sinks in less on soft ground, mud and snow than a wheeled loader of the same size. Lectura lists the machine with a production period of 2007 to 2009.
Takeuchi – Japan's Pioneer of the Compact Excavator
Takeuchi was founded in 1963 by Akio Takeuchi as a construction-equipment manufacturer and builds excavators, compact track loaders, crawler dumpers and wheel loaders. In 1971, the company introduced what it describes as the world's first compact excavator. In 1986 came another world first: the compact track loader, developed because conventional wheeled loaders got stuck in mud in wet weather, making work impossible. International expansion included wholly owned subsidiaries in the United States (1979), the United Kingdom (1996), France (2000) and China (2006). Listed in the register: the TL120, a compact track loader from this product line.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
