About Case

Case’s new Series 3 skid steers and compact track loaders are the latest upgrades to the Case equipment line. Clean-burning, Tier III certified engine power highlights the Case 400 Series 3 skid steer loaders and compact track loaders. With engine improvements come increases in horsepower and torque across the board, with net horsepower for the lines ranging from 57 to 83 and up to a 53 percent increase in torque, depending on the model. The new cabs available for all Case 400 Series 3 models feature increases in headroom and lap-bar width, along with improved forward, side, rear and overhead visibility. The compact track loaders also feature industry-exclusive side lighting standard, giving you 360-degree visibility when working in low-light conditions or after dark.

All 400 Series 3 skid steer loader and compact track loader models are built to start in colder temperatures. In fact, they are tested to start unaided at 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-17 degrees Celsius). Single point daily service checks and an easy tilt ROPS make maintenance easy to perform.

Komatsu
Skid Steers/Compact Track Loaders/Compact Wheel Loaders/Compact Excavators/Backhoe Loaders/Compact Dozers

“The WA50-6 is well suited for working in nurseries, chip yards, landscaping, light construction and any other application that requires a compact design.”

About Komatsu

Amidst the host of machines the manufacturing giant offers, the WA50-6 compact wheel loader is the newest machine in Komatsu’s army. The WA50-6 features KOMTRAX, which is a wireless machine monitoring system that provides machine location, hour meter reading, daily operating times, out of area notifications, night time lock and residual fuel level. Notifications are sent to key people via e-mail or text message. This is standard equipment on the machine and includes a monitoring package at no cost.

The WA50-6 also has a new “Delta boom” design that improves visibility of the front tires and attachment from the operator’s seat. And a three-mode traction control function provides flexibility.

P Mode is appropriate for operations requiring an extra burst of rimpull on demand such as leveling, grading and excavating.

N Mode is used in V-shape loading, aggregate loading and load-and-carry applications.

S Mode is selected when the machine is being operated in soft or slippery applications such as snow and mud.

Ditch Witch Trencher @ UtilityContractor

The two new tiny walk-behind trenchers from Ditch Wich — the RT10 and the RT12 — feature fully hydrostatic steering for easy handling and come with your choice of high-flotation tires or heavy-duty tracks that oscillate. Unlike rigid tracks, these “walking” tracks adjust more easily to uneven and rough terrain. Both units also feature a trail wheel that increases stability and reduces breakover when loading and unloading or going over a curb. The 11-net hp RT10 is expected to be a popular rental item among homeowners and small contractors. For bigger jobs and longer runs, the RT12 is equipped with 16 gross hp and an oil cooler that keeps its Vanguard engine running strong even on the hottest days.

New Holland
Skid Steers/Compact Track Loaders/Compact Wheel Loaders/Compact Excavators/Compact Wheel Loaders

“New Holland’s mid-size excavators with short radius platform and integrated noise and dust reduction system (INDR) are ideal for work in urban, space-restricted environments that require high performance, maneuverability and control and, at the same time, reduced noise levels and low engine emissions.”

About New Holland

New Holland machines have an eye for detail. The latest additions to the New Holland lineup are additions to the machines themselves. New Holland now offers an angle blade option for it’s E35B and E50B compact excavators. Whereas standard straight blades can cause windrowing to the side of the blade, the angle blade adjusts ± 23 degrees to push dirt to either side of the machine when backfilling and grading. In addition, the new four-way blade design offers up to 22 in. of lift height, as well as exceptional vertical clearance and deep dig capability of up to 17 in. of dig depth.

To keep operators comfortable, the E70B and E80B offer the integrated noise and dust reduction system (INDR). Not only does the INDR lower operating noise levels by up to seven percent (5 dbA), it also improves engine and hydraulic system cooling and extends air filter life by pre-screening outside air.

• An angle switch on blade lever, so angle adjustment can be done simultaneously with lift or lower.
  

The optional blade extension:

• Extends the width of the blade so the tracks of the machine do not immediately run over the dirt spoils.
  
• When filling a trench, it allows the excavator tracks to be further away from the trench wall, which can help prevent the trench wall from caving in which could cause a rollover.
  
• The blade with moldboard extensions, extend at least to the edge of the track so the blade will scrape up next to a wall or jobsite obstruction without the tracks rubbing against the wall.
  
• The extensions’ outside edges are angled to efficiently work right up next to a wall or jobsite obstruction.
