Advantages

• ROOF-MOUNTED
  This is the best location on a skid-steer for an auxiliary cooler. Much less contamination from dirt, leaves, dust and debris above the cab than on or near the head. Less vibration on cab than a cooler mounted on the cutter head. Reduced concerns of impact damage as experienced when mounted near the cutting head. Reduced back pressure associated with coolers mounted on cutterhead. Special kits are being offered for Deere & Case. Universal kit can be adapted to most makes and models.
• SELF-CLEANING
  State-of-the-art self-cleaning design features a 12 volt heavy-duty auto reversing fan controller. This controller automatically reverses the fan and air flow every 10 minutes, for 30 seconds, to help blow off most debris caught on the outside of the cooler's screens. After the 30 second clean-out cycle, the flow is returned to normal, going in the bottom and out the top.
• SKID-STEER MOUNTED
  The auxiliary cooler stays with your skid-steer to provide you with auxiliary cooling with any other severe-duty attachments. One time mounting, then hook and un-hook all attachments normally. No extra wires to remember.
• EASY ACCESS
  Along with the self-cleaning features the bottom screen slides out for easy debris removal. The top protective screen is heavy-duty and bolted on to protect the cooling fan and core. It is also easily removed and allows the hinged fan assembly to be raised up for accessing the cooling core, should further cleaning be required.
• CONTINUOUS AUTOMATIC COOLING
  The Loftness auxiliary hydraulic oil cooler cools the skid-steer's entire hydraulic system, including the drive system, whether the attachment is running or not. It cools even if the attachment is removed completely. There is also a cold weather by-pass valve that protects the cooler core from thick, heavy oil due to cold temperatures before it gets properly warmed up. The fan is thermostatically controlled to provide adequate cooling whenever needed.
• REVERSIBLE HYDRAULIC FLOW
  Uniquely engineered to allow full hydraulic flow to the attachment in either direction without risking damage to the cooler. Reversing the flow is very helpful to the everyday operation of a tree-cutting attachment, clearing wrapped or stuck material. This design also protects cooler from operator accidentally reversing, hoses hooked up wrong or one or more couplers becoming unhooked.

Performance Data

Loftness Roof-Mounted Cooler This chart shows a roof-mounted cooler on a Case 465. It maintained an oil temperature of less than 150 degrees during a 100 degree test. The industry recommended operating oil temperature is 180 degrees.	Competitive Head-Mounted Cooler This chart shows a head-mounted cooler, on a John Deere 332, overheating very quickly and going well over the recommended oil temperature. This usually results in an automatic engine shut-down. A restart will not be possible until the system cools off sufficiently.	Loftness Roof-Mounted Cooler This chart shows a roof-mounted cooler on a John Deere 332. It did exceed the recommended oil temperature on the 100 degree test, but did not result in a shut-down and continued to operate in an acceptable temperature range around 200 degrees.
