  • Power Cube I - First prototype modular power unit with quick hydraulic couplers.
  • Power Cube II - Frame-integrated hydraulic reservoir.
  • Power Cube III - Simplified frame-integrated reservoir. Pump priming issues got us to move away from this frame-integrated design.
  • Power Cube IV - Power cubes with 1/4"x2"x2" angle frames, with separate, 1.3 gallon fuel tank. Modular, adjustable engine mounting was used. Nine Prototype IV Power Cubes were built in the production run of 2011.
  • Power Cube V - Larger, plastic 5 gallon fuel tank was used. Modular, adjustable engine mounting was not used.
  • Power Cube VI - 2 symmetric, 7 gallon steel tanks are used for fuel and hydraulic fluid. Modular control panel was used for the first time.
  • Power Cube VII - Version from 2012, current model with full instructional video.
