SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
FOR GREATER PRODUCTIVITY
At the heart of the VX90 is the proven
DITEC engine. As one of the world’s biggest
tractor makers, Mahindra applied their
extensive experience with diesel engines when
developing the DITEC. The goal was to give
VX90 ample and reliable power combined
with maximum efficiency.
As such, the robust DITEC combines best-
in-class fuel efficiency with infrequent oil
changes to keep downtime to a minimum.
And by combining direct injection (DI) with a
turbocharger and intercooler, the 58.8kW
engine offers power and torque at low revs.
HIGHLY EFFICIENT
DITEC ENGINE

INDUSTRY APPLICATION
Every construction project has something in
common – the need to move earth or heavy
loads precisely and efficiently. Mahindra’s
TLBs are ideal for small to medium
construction projects, where manoeuvrability
and efficiency are of the essence. They can
also provide a vital support role in larger
projects.
There are any number of instances where
a mining project can make good use of a
multi-purpose and highly-manoeuvrable
earthmoving machine like the EarthMaster
TLB. They are ideal for tasks where moving
earth or heavy loads or digging is a daily
requirement. The backhoe is well suited to
small excavation tasks.
Agriculture is one of South Africa’s largest
industries and takes place in every kind of
terrain. An EarthMaster TLB can make a
key difference in assisting in preparation of
ground for planting or heavy-duty landscaping,
including creation or diversion of water
sources for irrigation. Complete these tasks
quickly with an EarthMaster TLB.
