November 2016 | EquipmentWorld.com 16 marketplace | continued Powered by a Bobcat D34 engine generating 74 horsepower, the Bobcat V519 telehandler features a two-stage boom with a reach of more than 10 feet, a lift height of 19 feet and lift capacity of up to 5,500 pounds. The D34 engine does not require the use of a diesel particulate filter, and features an Eco mode to reduce fuel consumption in tasks that don't require full power. The machine is the first of its size to accept the company's Bob- Tach quick attachment mounting system. A two-speed hydro- static drive system is standard on the V519. An exclusive feature to the V519 engages an automatic parking brake whenever the machine idles when stopped (including when in neutral) to avoid unintentional movement. An enclosed cab with heat and air conditioning comes standard, and is designed for all-day comfort, with directional air vents, adjustable steering column, and a suspension seat. Powered by a Tier 4 Final, 6.69-liter Komatsu engine, the Komatsu WA270-8 is a 149-horsepower wheel loader that can be used in virtually any application, accord- ing to the company. The engine uses selective catalytic reduction and a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to meet emissions requirements and performs 98 percent of DPF regeneration passively without the need for operator action. The engine provides a 3-percent improvement in fuel efficiency over the previous generation's Tier 4 Interim engine in V-cycle loading, and a 2-percent fuel boost in load-and-carry applications.The engine is paired with a hydrostatic transmission with variable traction control and an S-mode, which provides extra traction control to reduce wheel slip in snowy, icy or slippery conditions. A creep mode allows the operator to dial in travel speed from 1 to 8 miles per hour via a knob on the console. A new high-back heated seat softens vibra- tions. The cab also includes a 7-inch color monitor for viewing Komtrax telematics data, a full-color rear view monitor and an auxiliary jack and two 12-volt ports. Case Construction Equipment has introduced two new large excavator models – the CX490D and CX500D – to its D Series lineup. Compared to their 470C predecessor, the two ma- chines provide cycle times that are up to 10-percent faster, have more responsive controls and boast better fuel efficiency. Both models are powered by 362-horsepower Tier 4 Final engines that meet emissions standards through selective catalytic reduction and a diesel oxidation catalyst. This combination eliminates the need for a diesel particulate filter and the associated regenera- tion times. The CX490D weighs in at 109,300 pounds, and has a bucket digging force range of 55,500 to 60,700 foot-pounds. The CX500D weighs 111,800 pounds, and a digging force range of 64,500 to 70,400 foot-pounds. The CX500D is designed specifi- cally for mass excavation, and features a special heavy-duty at- tachment coupler, larger bucket cylinders and optimized kinemat- ics that enable it to work with larger buckets than the previous model. In addition to a stronger and more durably designed arm and boom, both machines feature an undercarriage built with thicker steel, and a new single-slope design that reduces dirt accumulation.
