The new U17 zero-tail swing compact excavator provides increased hydraulic flow for fast, responsive operation and heightened
traction force for tough backfilling jobs, as well as rubber tracks for a smooth ride and low ground pressure. On the U17,
productivity is maximized with a bucket close to the blade, while operator costs are reduced with features like a digital
control panel. The 17-hp, Kubota D902-E3 engine teams up with an 11.9-gpm hydraulic pump capacity to boost versatility for
a wide range of tasks. http://www.kubota.com/ or 888/4-KUBOTA, Ext. 900 General Equipment Co.
Designed for skid steer loaders, small excavators, knuckleboom cranes and small backhoes, the 671 DIG-R-TACH Series 16 earth
drilling attachment is intended for smaller hydraulic systems. The Series 24 is designed for larger hydraulic systems found
with backhoes and excavators. Featuring a two-speed chain/sprocket drive and a 5-to 20-gpm hydraulic flow range, the Series
16 balances smaller flow volumes in proportion to auger diameters. The result is a cleaner hole with less loose soil and debris.
For higher-capacity drilling, the Series 24 operates in a 15-to 25-gpm hydraulic flow range and delivers a maximum drilling
torque of 2,018 ft.-lbs. at 2,500 psi. http://www.generalequip.com/ or 877/DIGGER-5John Deere
The new small-frame CT315 45-hp compact track loader already meets interim Tier 4 emissions standards. It features a 12.6-in.-wide
track and a narrow overall machine width of just over 60 in. Rated for 1,500-lb. operating capacity, the unit's cushioned
bucket and lift cylinders provide smooth deceleration at the end of the boom-lower position — and cushion the bucket when
curling and dumping a load. The Deere PowerTech 4024T 4-cylinder 2.4-L engine provides engine-lugging capability while working
heavy loads. http://www.johndeere.com/ or 309/765-8000 Caterpillar
The new 279C, 289C and 299C feature durable, steel-embedded track and steel undercarriage components for maximum life in aggressive
applications. The compact track loaders deliver solid traction and reduced wear on sites with sticky, rocky soils. All three
models feature two-speed drive systems, with a maximum speed of 8.5 mph, for fast movement around large sites. The electrohydraulic
joystick control of the drive motors delivers straight-line tracking, and electronic torque management optimizes productivity.
Caterpillar-exclusive drive motor seal guards extend the lives of seals and final drives. http://www.cat.com/ or 888/OWN-A-CAT.
