February 2018 | EquipmentWorld.com 18 marketplace | continued Reducing noise, gaining control Lighter, towable hydraulic drill Cat's first inverter generator Phillips 66 has introduced four new engine oils under the Phillips and Kendall brands that meet FA-4 and CK-4 requirements. The new oils are all 5W-30 in response to the industry's call for lower viscosity oils. The FA-4 oils are the Phillips 66 Triton FE and Kendall's SHP FE. These oils are OEM- certified for Cummins CES 20087 and Detroit Diesel DFS 93K223 and contain an enhanced additive system for increased engine protec- tion. The CK-4 oils are Triton Euro from Phil- lips and SHP Euro from Kendall. These oils meet ACEA E6, MB 228.51, CES 20086, DFS 93K222, and other OEM specifications. Little Beaver's Towable Hydrau- lic Earth Drill has a balanced frame that cuts operating weight in half, compared to traditional hydraulic drills, according to the company. The drill frame balances the weight of the drill over the wheels and requires less than 20 pounds of force to pivot into digging position. In addition, the frame eliminates torque for safe, one-person operation, pivoting into position with- out damaging turf or landscaping. The unit can be transported via a remov- able no-tools towing hitch, saving truck or trailer space. The INV2000 represents Cater- pillar's first inverter generator. The compact model weighs only 49 pounds for easy storage, but boasts enough power for contrac- tor and other professional uses. It produces 1,800 watts when running and 2,250 watts when starting. The generator can power many small- to mid-sized power tools. Noise levels are between 52 and 61 decibels depending on the load. Cat says the INV2000 provides 6 hours of continuous run time on one tank of fuel at 50 percent load.
