Earth-Moving
Compact excavator
With many improvements, the new John Deere 17D compact excavator
provides maximum versatility and productivity. Chief among its
enhancements are adjustable-width tracks and a backfill blade with
foldable end sections. When the tracks are retracted and the blades' end
sections folded, the machine fits through a 40-inch opening. When fully
extended to over 50 inches, the undercarriage provides maximum stability
for operation. The standard mechanical quick coupler/hydraulic
attachment package allows for many jobsite possibilities.

Wheel loader
Case Construction Equipment has
upgraded the 921E wheel loader to join its E series line, with an
electronically controlled engine to increase efficiency, a more
comfortable cab with enhanced visibility and easier maintenance. The
wheel loader delivers a larger payload of 5.75 cubic yards. Access has
been improved to fluid-level sight gauges, centralized grease fittings
and all checks can be made from ground level. A one-piece electric lift
hood replaces six access panels. The Tier 3-certified engine
incorporates the new common-rail fuel-injection system, which allows air
and fuel to mix in nearly equal proportions for a cleaner burn.
Operators can choose between three power curves -- max, standard and
economy power -- and four work modes -- max, standard, economy and
auto. At max performance, the six-cylinder engine offers 297 net hp.

in one precise, uniform operation. The Franzen reduces the time it takes
to sharpen chain by 50 percent, requiring just four minutes to sharpen a
standard chain. At 290 pounds, it is 25 inches wide, 75 inches tall and
runs off 110V and 90 psi of air. The machine is designed for virtually

Equipment monitoring
system
DPL America introduces the
Titan equipment monitoring system for mobile, off-road equipment. The
Titan is an advanced solution for remote monitoring and tracking of
off-road assets to increase asset profitability and productivity while
decreasing the costs and risk of equipment theft. Features include
automatic and on-demand location updates, remote starter and disable
capabilities, real-time updates of machine on/off/in-transit status,
hour meter reporting with daily run-time log, service scheduling with
past-due notices and digital inputs for sensor alarming. The Titan
equipment monitoring system allows managers to track their assets
continuously and accurately from an Internet-based software package.
Once covertly installed on the piece of equipment, the Titan hardware
unit wirelessly reports the machine's activity, location, status and
other operational data to the software. The system communicates over the
GPRS network, which is North America's largest pure digital data
network, the company says.

Zero-turn mowers
Kubota introduces the ZD-300
Series of zero-turn commercial mowers that includes five models
featuring Kubota diesel engines. Each model comes equipped with dual
fuel tanks to total 11.9 gallons of fuel capacity, which means fewer
stops for refueling. The mowers feature high-capacity transmission
systems and deep mower decks. For routine maintenance, Kubota's two-pin,
tilt-up feature allows the front of the mower to be raised without
removing the mid-mount mower, and includes locks for the front tires to
ensure safety.

Augers
Ideal introduces the
Resi-Master line of ship augers, precision-machined to provide faster
drilling action with fewer jams, according to the manufacturer.
Available in lengths of 7 1/2 and 18 inches, the augers are designed for
homebuilders, electricians and construction contractors. The auger is
constructed from high-quality steel, and its hardened lead screw and
cutting edge are designed to reduce re-sharpening in soft or hard woods,
heavy green wood and treated wood. The augers have a 62-degree cutting
angle that provides reinforcement for the cutting edge, reducing wear
while providing smooth and accurate drilling action.
