The 235 X3 Spin Ace also has 15 percent more lift capacity, 7 percent faster cycle times and improved serviceability. A new fuel management system includes ad- vancements in engine electronics and the hydraulic system, controlling consumption by lowering engine rpm during non-critical functions. The excavator has an 8-percent larger cab with enhanced visibility and a 7-inch LED color monitor. The ROPS cab has a standard rear-view camera, a fuel consumption gauge on the monitor, newly designed joysticks with a single-swipe wiper function and an easy-to-access fuse box. The display messages can be pro- grammed for 20 languages, and program- mable service interval reminders track 13 different service items.

The H75Es delivers 1,000 foot-pounds of energy at 840 to 1,650 blows per minute, and the H95Es delivers 1,500 foot-pounds at 700 to 1,260 blows per minute. Both hammers feature automatic shutoff, which stops the hammer when the tool breaks through the material, increasing ham- mer reliability and durability. Sound suppression is also standard. The gas- fi red system maintains constant power between service intervals, and the hammer's housing has a curved profi le to not only eliminate stress points, but also allow the hammer to curl and tuck under the backhoe loader boom without damage.
