Skid-steer loader
Mustang added a 99-hp
Cummins diesel engine to its 2109 skid-steer loader. The Tier 2
emissions-certified, turbo-charged engine offers 305 foot-pounds of
torque. The engine offers easy access to important maintenance points,
including the dipstick, oil fill and air cleaner. The conventional

Demolition attachment
Atlas Copco Construction
Tools introduces the CC 1700 hydraulic demolition attachment.
Providing 220 tons of cutting force at the jaw tip, the attachment is

demolition, industrial demolition, secondary reduction and material
separation. The steel-cutting jaws open 17 inches wide and are suited
for steel structure demolition, secondary reduction and material
separation. The CC 1700 features a single-pin jaw-retention design that
improves tool visibility for the operator, decreases the total weight of
the unit, and reduces the amount of time required to switch between sets
of cutting jaws. With a maximum operating pressure of 5,100 psi, the

Stump cutter
Vermeer reintroduces the SC352
stump cutter, which comes equipped with four new features: a 4-wheel
drive (4WD) option; 35-hp Briggs & Stratton Vanguard Big Block gasoline
engine option; chip blade option; and standard oscillating front
steering axle. The 4WD feature on the SC352 is an optional offering to
provide improved traction in difficult ground conditions. The optional
chip blade helps eliminate the need for manual shoveling during jobsite
cleanup. The blade, which can be lifted hydraulically from the
operator's station, moves chips into the hold made after removing a
stump, or can be used to aid in collection for hauling the chips off
site. A new standard feature on the SC352 is the oscillating front
steering axle, which features improved ground contact stability and
tractive effort in certain ground conditions.
