Volvo Construction Equipment is redefining productivity and performance with the newly upgraded L260H Wheel Loader, introduced at this year’s World of Asphalt. As your local Volvo CE dealer, Nuss Truck & Equipment is excited to bring this next-generation machine to our fleet customers across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Missouri.
Built-In Intelligence for Smarter Work
The standout feature? Auto Bucket Fill technology. With the press of a button, the loader automatically controls the throttle, lift, and bucket fill—ensuring consistent weight in every bucket, reducing fatigue-related productivity dips, and leveling the playing field for less experienced operators.
“One thing we’ve noticed is productivity remains steady all day,” says Eric Yeomans, North American Product Manager for Volvo wheel loaders.
Automatic Traction Control for Efficiency
The L260H now features Automatic Traction Control as standard on the front axle. This smart system monitors torque and axle rotation to automatically engage the front differential—boosting traction and improving speed in challenging conditions, up to 7 mph.
Service Made Simple
Volvo focused on operator safety and convenience, adding:
-
A new service platform for safer machine access
-
Keyless entry via remote
-
Fuel system priming pump for faster refueling
-
Rear compartment lighting for low-light maintenance
Volvo Co-Pilot: Total Machine Insight
Inside the cab, the Volvo Co-Pilot tablet replaces traditional buttons and dashboards with a smart, integrated touchscreen system. Operators can now:
-
Monitor fuel use, tons moved, and distance traveled
-
Log brake tests
-
View auto-lubrication, maintenance schedules, and system diagnostics
Boosted Hydraulic Power = Faster Cycle Times
Volvo also boosted hydraulic pump flow for its full-size loaders:
-
L150: 48 → 67 GPM
-
L180: 57 → 67 GPM
This, combined with longer hydraulic cylinders, provides increased dump clearance and faster cycle times.
