The TB350R can dig as deep as 11 feet 9 inches and has a bucket breakout force of 10,431 pounds, traction force of 12,320 pounds, and.

In both the canopy and cab variants, the mid-arm is plumbed with a primary auxiliary circuit. A dedicated coupler circuit controlled by controls inside the cab is also included in the cab model. The primary auxiliary circuit powers a variety of hydraulically powered attachments with a flow rate of 26.4 gallons per minute at 2,990 pressures.

According to Takeuchi, the TB350R's cabin has undergone a thorough overhaul, enhancing the operator experience. A 7-inch touchscreen, multifunction colour display with integrated air conditioner and radio functions is available on the cab model, while the canopy configuration comes with a 4.3-inch-high definition, multifunction colour monitor. On the cab model, a jog dial makes it simpler to navigate the monitor and operate other machine operations.

A big flat floor area, integrated footrests, a six-way adjustable suspension seat, adjustable armrests, low-effort pilot controls, one-touch control switches for machine functions, and a large flat floor surface are additional standard features.
