Innovative
equipment releases
close out the year
Gravely created a new segment of off-road vehicle
with its Atlas jobsite vehicle (JSV). The vehicle
has a 1,900-pound payload and 2,000-pound
towing capacity. The JSV's steel cargo bed has
a 1,250-pound capacity, and an electric bed lift
comes standard. The Atlas has a VersaTrac Turf Mode
that unlocks the rear differential, similar to a ZTR. It's
available in four models: two diesel and two gas, both
with three- or six-seat options. For more information,

Compared to its other medium-frame compact track
loaders, Case Construction Equipment's TR310 has
wider tracks (15 3/4 inches wide). The 74-horsepower
TR310 weighs 8,800 pounds, has a 3,100-pound rated
operating capacity and has an 8,680-pound bucket
breakout force. The CTL has a radial-lift arm and 10-
foot 3-inch hinge-pin height. For more information, visit

Wider tracks
John Deere and Michelin joined together
to release the Michelin X Tweel Turf airless
radial tire for ZTrak mowers. The tires are
available for the ZTrak 900 Series models
54-, 60- and 72-inch deck sizes. The X Tweel
Turf is a 24-by-12-by-12 tire and features
automotive rubber technology. The tires
will be available in the spring of 2015, and
there will be a $749 upcharge. For more
