SUPPLYLINES AGGREGATES MANAGER / October 2017 26 KCMA Corp. announced the Tier 4 Final version of its 70Z7, which is said to cycle faster, offer more power, and achieve near zero emissions. The loader is equipped with a 3.7-cubic- yard general purpose bucket, and produces 173 gross horse- power from the Cummins QSB6.7 diesel engine. The unit achieves Tier 4 Final standards without a diesel particulate fil- ter, meaning no DPF plugging or DPF regen. A five-speed auto- matic transmission with variable shift points is said to provide faster speeds and fuel savings, while an auto idle shut down feature senses excessive idling and shuts down the engine to increase fuel efficiency. The KCM Global e-Service telematics system is standard. KCMA Corp. | www.kcmcorp.com Liebherr introduced two new lighting options for its XPower wheel loaders: adaptive working lighting and the Liebherr key with remote control. Both options improve lighting and safety, particularly at twilight, during night op- erations, and in underground or lowlight conditions. Adaptive working light- ing is an intelligent light control system. It reacts intuitively to the lift arm position and articulation angle of the wheel loader using LED light sensors to keep working areas evenly lit. The Liebherr key with remote control opens the driver's door at the push of a button and activates the cab lighting. This illuminates the entire entry area and improves the operator's ability to climb into the cab safely.

The new wheel loaders feature a 13.5-liter John Deere PowerTech Tier 4 Final diesel engine (380 horsepower for the standard unit, 401 horsepower for the aggregate handler). They are equipped with standard five-speed transmission with torque- converter lockup in gears two through five. This feature increases ac- celeration speeds and cycles, and optimizes power and fuel efficiency during transport, roading, and ramp climbing, the manufacturer says. The Aggregate Handler is built for two-pass loading with increased power, large tilt cylinders, higher hydraulic pressure, and increased counterweighing to handle bigger material-handling buckets (9.3 cubic yards/9.8 cubic yards). It is said to cut loading time by 30 percent with reduced fuel consumption by eliminating the third pass. John Deere | www.johndeere.com Aggregate handler loads in two passes - new
