coupler
system
from

The
Fusion
Coupler
System
provides
performance
virtually

with
all
the
flexibility
of
a
quick
coupler
system.
The
Fusion
Coupler
sits

arms
minimizing
offset
and increasing
the
machine's
performance.
NoLossofPerformance
Imagine
lifting
a
hundred
pound
box
with
your
arms
fully
extended.
Now
imagine
lifting
that
same
load
close
to
your
body.
That's
the
genius
of
Fusion:
designed
to
integrate
the
work
tool
and
the
machine
by
pulling
the
coupler
and
tool
closer
in
to
the
loader.
As
a
result,
the
center
of
gravity
is
moved
inward,
towards
the
machine.
This
translates
to
increased
lifting
ability
when
compared
to
machines
equipped
with
other
coupler
systems.

pull

Constant
hydraulic

on

wedges
compensate
