  1. Powerhouse ProdigyCompact Utility Loader Fluid Power Applications Project Example Principles of Engineering

  2. What Is It? • The Powerhouse Prodigy TK-216 compact utility loader with attachments • Trencher • Auger • Ripper • Bucket • Leveler • Used for any number of landscape and trenching applications

  3. Pump Underneath Power Supply & Pump • Power supplied by Honda 16 hp v-twin • Fluid flow supplied by gear pump • 2200 psi max • 5.8 gpm

  4. Reservoir Fill neck Reservoir • Holds 11.6 gallons of hydraulic fluid • Located inside housing forward of engine • Fill neck located on right side of loader

  5. Controls • Lever-actuated directional spool valves • Location • Levers on control panel, valves under control panel • Control • Drive: separate lever for each side, forward, neutral, reverse • Arm: up or down • Attachment: (bucket, leveler, trencher) curl & dump • Auxiliary: (auger, trencher) forward & reverse

  6. Controls Drive Drive Arm Tilt Attachment Throttle

  7. Actuators • Double action cylinders • Raise & lower arm • Tilt attachment • Rotary actuators • Drive machine • Turn auger • Turn trencher

  8. Operation • Honda 16 hp gasoline engine provides mechanical power to gear pump • Gear pump draws fluid from reservoir and provides fluid flow • Control valves direct fluid to appropriate actuators • Drive motors • Cylinders • Attachment motors • Fluid returns to reservoir after use

  9. Other Components • Fluid lines • Filter • Quick-connect couplings for attachments

  10. Pros & Cons Pros • 32 in. width allows it to reach closed-in areas such as fenced yards • 972 lb. weight distributed on tracks doesn’t compact soil • Easily transported to job site • Multiple attachments make it versatile Cons • Costs $19590.00 • Approximately $175/weekend rental fee

  11. Simplified Flow Diagram

  12. Summary • The PowerHouse Prodigy is a tracked compact utility loader • Used for excavation, trenching, digging post holes, leveling, and many other landscaping/construction jobs • Takes the place of back-breaking wheelbarrows, shovels, and other labor-intensive hand tools
