General SDLG LG938L wheel loader reviews and features for Uganda

Engine
The power is provided by a Deutz six-litre, six-cylinder engine, although a look behind the engine covers reveals… well, nothing surprising. It’s all very straightforward.

So I allowed my eyes to wander to the areas that will eventually need attention: the fuel pump (because everyone runs out of fuel at some stage), the starter motor and the alternator.

These are components that will need replacing eventually and they are all located in positions that won’t require a 10-year-old kid with six-foot-long arms to reach. In fact everything is very accessible and there’s a nice amount of room around the engine.

Moving around to the rear of the machine, the grill swings open and allows access to the radiator and oil cooler. With the unlocking of a couple of clips, the rear core folds down to allow access to the second core; it’s a nicely thought-out design.

Transmission
Again, simplicity is the key here. The 4-speed forward, three-speed reverse Hangchi YD13 transmission needs to be manually moved through the gears and this is done by rotating the stick on the steering column.
The Gen Y’ers who are used to a machine that babies them along may need some additional tuition on this old-school feature. It is, however, very easy to use and is a bit like comparing a tiptronic transmission with a standard automatic.

Braking
This LG938L features a dry braking disc system. The reasoning behind this is purely financial and reduces the cost by a substantial amount. You can sure buy a lot of calipers and brake pads for the amount of a wet-brake system.

The advantage of the dry disc brakes on the SDLG loaders is that the pads can be changed in place without removing the wheels at a very low cost. Purchasers would have to consider their working conditions, of course.
