Mustang Manufacturing

Mustang Manufacturing has upgraded its air conditioning/heater system to create an optional pressurized cab for each of its three current compact track loader models — MTL16, MTL20 and MTL25. This new feature is designed to virtually eliminate the entry of dust, dirt and debris. Noise is also kept at a minimum. The Generation II air-conditioning/heater included in the cab option is comprised of updated interior ducting, featuring six adjustable louvers allowing the operator to control the amount and direction of the air flow. Dual, outside air intakes, working in conjunction with inside recirculation filters, minimize the dust and dirt, which keeps clean air flowing to the operator.
