The next-generation R540 and R640 — power and comfort that spin on gravel without tearing it up.
The R640 is the larger of the two, with more horsepower and a bigger bucket than the R540 — together the pair spans the R40 Series' 47.9 to 61.1 HP and 0.85 to 0.94 cubic yard bucket range. Which one fits depends on how much material you're moving day to day.
An articulated wheel loader like the R40 Series rides on tires without the tire-scrubbing turning motion of a skid steer, so it's gentler on paved lots and gravel yards while plowing or pushing snow. For contractors running snow routes or farms with feed alleys, that combination of speed and reduced surface wear usually wins out over a skid steer.
Bucket capacity on the R40 Series runs about 0.85 to 0.94 cubic yards depending on the model, giving it more capacity than the smaller R30 Series for heavier material-handling jobs.
Yes, both the R540 and R640 can be ordered with an enclosed cab or an open canopy. For anyone running snow routes through a Grey-Bruce winter, the cab is worth the conversation.
The R40 Series spans roughly 47.9 to 61.1 horsepower across the R540 and R640, giving you a step up in power over the R30 Series while staying in a compact, yard-friendly footprint.
