Skid-steer loaders

226B, 236B, 246B (pictured) and 248B skid-steer loaders feature
increased engine power and breakout force. The 248B uses the new Cat XPS
hydraulic system, a load-sensing, pressure-compensating system that can
deliver maximum power regardless of engine speed. For customers
requiring a smaller machine to operate hydraulically powered work tools,
a high-flow option is available on the 226B. All models feature an
improved hydraulic system that reduces the number of potential leak
points and improves reliability and cleanliness.

Excavators
Kubota introduces three new
zero-tail-swing excavators, adding the U15, U25 and U45 models to the
U-series lineup. These 1.5-ton, 2.5-ton and 4.5-ton excavators,
respectively, are designed for work in tight spaces. The new U-series
models are designed to move with no rear overhang beyond the width of
the tracks, to provide superior operator visibility and to include
numerous operator control and comfort features. The hydraulic systems on
all three models can accommodate a variety of attachments, such as
breakers and augers, and the auxiliary hydraulic connections are located
within easy reach, incorporating short hoses that are less easily
tangled or damaged.

New low-emissions rental generator sets from Cummins Power Generation are designed
for clean, quiet operation to meet EPA emissions standards. Intended for

kW trailer-mounted diesel generator sets feature enhanced performance,

are a configured rental package that can be easily adapted to any power
