I had a hydraulic problem on my skid steer and called all my local dealers in the lake Ozark area. They were all weeks out and really acted like they didn’t want to take the job. We called Luby Equipment out of Springfield and they pulled it in the next day to diagnose, and got the ball rolling. Travis at the desk answered all our phone calls and let us know the progress. If my Case machine needs work from here on out, I’ll be taking it to Luby. Customer service was tip top
Response from the owner:Cody, we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We’re glad we could get you taken care of on such short notice. We know downtime is money lost, so keeping customers updated and getting machines back to work matters. We’ll make sure Travis and the Springfield team see this.

Built for Performance in the Midwest

Midwest contractors face a wide range of conditions, from rocky, uneven soil in the Ozarks to muddy fields and frozen ground during colder months. Takeuchi excavators are engineered to handle these challenges head-on with:

Powerful Hydraulic Systems

Takeuchi is well-known for smooth and responsive hydraulics across its excavator lineup. Operators can expect excellent digging force, fast cycle times, and intuitive controls—features essential for staying efficient on the job. The load-sensing hydraulic system, standard in many models, ensures power is directed where needed.

Advanced Operator Comfort

Comfort matters, especially when spending long hours in the cab. Takeuchi excavators have spacious, climate-controlled cabins, adjustable suspension seats, and multifunction joysticks. Reduced noise and vibration levels help minimize operator fatigue, which in turn improves safety and productivity.

Versatility with Attachments

Takeuchi machines are compatible with a wide range of attachments, including hydraulic thumbs, breakers, augers, trenchers, and more. This adaptability allows contractors to tackle multiple tasks without switching machines, which saves time and transportation costs.

Reliability That Contractors Trust

Downtime is costly, especially during peak construction season. That’s why many Missouri contractors appreciate the reliability of Takeuchi excavators:

A Fit for Missouri’s Most Demanding Jobs

Takeuchi offers a variety of excavator models, ranging from compact machines ideal for residential or urban environments to larger units capable of heavy lifting on commercial sites. Here are a few standout models popular among Midwest contractors:

  • Takeuchi TB216 – A nimble compact excavator, great for tight spaces like backyard installs and utility work.
  • Takeuchi TB290 – A mid-size workhorse that balances power, reach, and fuel efficiency.
  • Takeuchi TB2150 – A full-featured excavator with serious digging power, excellent for large commercial projects or heavy grading.

Each model features industry-leading capabilities, including selectable auxiliary hydraulic flow, auto deceleration, and load-sensing hydraulics, which help contractors tailor machine performance to their specific jobs.

Choosing a Partner That Understands the Midwest

Big-name rental yards and national dealers may offer a wide selection but often lack regional knowledge. Luby Equipment understands the needs of Missouri contractors because we live and work here, too. We’ve seen Takeuchi machines perform across all terrain and jobsite conditions—holding up under pressure and delivering consistent value year after year.

Whether adding to your fleet or considering a switch, Takeuchi excavators offer a compelling mix of versatility, rugged design, and operator-focused innovation. And with dedicated support from Luby Equipment, you’re never far from the needed help or expertise.
