January 2016 | EquipmentWorld.com 16 marketplace | continued WELDER/GENERATOR ATTACKS HIGH OUTPUT JOBS Designed for jobs that require high output welding, gouging and auxiliary power, the Tier 4 Final Miller Big Blue 600 Pro welder/generator replaces the Tier 4 Interim Big Blue 500. The unit is powered by a 49-horsepower Kubota V2403 four- cylinder engine and has several upgrades, including improved arc characteristics, digital weld meters and display and three-phase power available anytime, even when welding. A backlit, 4-inch electronic engine display replaces the traditional cluster of analog gauges, allowing users to view all readings in one display. D SERIES EXCAVATORS UPS CYCLE TIME, FUEL EFFICIENCY Case Construction Equipment has added the CX130D and CX160D to its D Series excavator lineup. The machines have up to 5 percent faster cycle times and 8 percent greater fuel efficiency than their predecessors. A new electronically controlled hydraulic pump and larger control and solenoid valves boost breakout forces, increase lifting strength and improve responsiveness on each machine. Both the 102-horsepower CX130D and the 112-horsepower CX160D offer a SCR Tier 4 Final solution that requires no diesel particulate filter or regeneration. The machines have a more robust design, with beefed up arms and booms and an undercarriage built with stronger steel than previous series machines. Standard features include Free Swing for improved craning, lay- ing or lifting of offset loads; and oil sample ports for quick engine and hydraulic oil sampling. ROLLER SUSPENSION OPTION ON COMPACT TRACK LOADERS A solid-mount Roller Suspension under- carriage is now available as an option on Bobcat T550, T590, T630, T650, T740, T750 and T770 compact track loaders. Dual-flange front idlers, which help reduce vibration, now ride on the rubber track's roller way. Along with wider rollers, the idlers help reduce track wear on the inside of the track. Single-flange idlers on the rear of the machine help minimize de-tracking. A hori- zontally mounted tension cylinder opens up more room between the carriage and track for easier cleanout.
