March 2018 | EquipmentWorld.com 26 Sometimes the difference in couplers is simple, such as placement and attachment points for cyl- inders. Sometimes it's more complex. In addition to having different cylinder configurations, the tool carrier and Z-bar options on the New Holland W50C have different arms – straight on the tool carrier and curved on the Z-bar. The Z-bar linkage provides maximum breakout force, digging and lifting power for high-production load-and-carry applications. For applications where self-leveling is needed, such as fork work, the W50C TC Tool Carrier model is rec- ommended. Kubota sought to achieve the best balance with the hybrid link system. Jacobsmeyer says this hy- brid design gives the digging power of a Z link with a parallel lift path. "Efficient operation of both the bucket and pallet fork is a huge advantage with this hybrid link system." But just because an attachment fits, that doesn't mean it's wise to run it on a compact wheel loader. "Not all attachments are recommended or advisable, even if they fit the coupler," says Brad Stemper, Case product manager, compact wheel loaders. Hammers and breakers lose impact strength because some of their energy is transmitted through a wheel loader's larger tires rather than through the tool.
