EquipmentWorld.com | October 2016 19 marketplace | by Lucas Stewart | LucasStewart@randallreilly.com EDITOR'S PICK EDITOR'S PICK Adapt to terrain to push more snow Case Construction Equipment's Sectional Snow Pushers feature a Hardox 450 steel cutting edge and moldboard sections that move indepen- dently, moving up or down in response to uneven terrain or obstacles. Case says the design saves time and reduces the use of salt by allowing more snow to be removed on the fi rst pass. It also allows the leading edge of the pusher to "trip" on obstacles, re- ducing the poten- tial for equipment or property dam- age. The pushers are offered in light duty (13-feet wide) up to heavy duty (17-feet wide) for use with full-sized wheel loaders. Kobelco's newest excavator, the SK300LC-10, features a 252-horsepower, Tier 4 Final Hino engine. Kobelco says the new engine reduces fuel consumption over previous models, using a hydraulic regeneration system to minimize energy loss and maintain 37,300 pounds-feet of digging force. A new travel motor increases traction force by 10 percent without impacting travel speed. It also features independent travel, which allows it to move, lift and swing simultaneously without losing power. Automatic swing priority provides full swing power during combined operations without switching power modes. A higher boom foot cross-section, thicker arm-foot base plate and stronger foot bases add reinforcement to the structure. The new, larger cab offers wide ac- cess doors, and more effi cient air conditioning and ventilation, while also giving the opera- tor an adjustable suspension seat, radio with USB and Bluetooth functionality. Automatic swing priority gives full swing power during combined operations Dial controls for ground and attachment operation Ditch Witch's RT105, RT125, and RT125 Quad utility tractors have improved workstations with more legroom, a tilt steering column and a seat that rotates up to 120 degrees, all while keeping the 5-inch color display in full view. The new models are powered by Tier 4 Final Deutz engines, which produce 107 horsepower in the RT105 and 121 horsepower in the RT125 Quad. Upgraded controls include dials for ground and attachment operation. The RT125 Quad features the shift-on-the-fl y ground drive system, which adjusts automatically by sensing load conditions, as well as an improved turning radius, better trac- tion and fl otation while digging.
