Case


Case
A new single-lever control on Case's 1650L crawler dozer commands the PowerStat hydrostatic drive. The operator can also adjust the sensitivity of the steering and the forward/reverse modulation to match personal preference or application conditions. Drive motors deliver power independently to each track. A 144-horsepower, 6.7-liter Case Family IV diesel is connected to the hydrostatic pumps by a drive shaft, reducing machine vibration. Operating weight of the 1650L LGP is 37,578 pounds.


Market Watch:

John Deere


John Deere John Deere added the 313 and 315 — with rated operating capacities of 1,300 and 1,500 pounds — to its 300-Series skid steer family. Both are equipped with Deere's PowerTech 4024T 2.4-liter engine rated at 2,400 rpm. Heavy-duty drive chains never need adjusting. Deere prides itself on 360-degree visibility, pointing out that the operator can see the tires and ground around the machine with the boom in the rest position. The radial-lift boom allows the bucket to rest close to the machine, but it swings forward for more reach when raised to what Deere calls the work zone, 4 to 5 feet high. 


Market Watch:

Terraquip


Terraquip The elevated drive and undercarriage configuration of two HX tractor dozers from Terraquip makes the 270-horsepower HX SD7 and 425-horsepower HX SD9 the first and only high-drive alternative to Caterpillar's dozers. The units are Cummins powered (QSM11 and QSX15, respectively), employing powershift transmissions and oil-cooled clutches. Operating weight of the HX SD7 is 59,500 pounds and the HX SD9 works at 106,925 pounds. Suggested retail prices are $350,000 and $575,000, respectively.  The tractors are manufactured in China by HX and distributed by Terraquip, headquartered in Toronto.



Market Watch:

Compact Power


Compact Power Compact Power's 700-Series includes three models, the 726DT, 732DT and 749DT. These new articulated-frame compact loaders feature a hydrostatic transmission, four-wheel drive and a telescopic loader arm. With the loader arm at full extension, the three models provide, respectively, 105, 117 and 146 inches of lift height under the hinge pin. Horsepower ratings are 26, 32 and 49, and rated operating capacities (at 50 percent of tip load) are 1,124, 1,488 and 2,260 pounds. The 726DT uses a Daihatsu diesel engine, and the two larger models use a Yanmar.
