Compact-track loaders
Pilot controls now come standard on Case Construction Equipment's 440CT and
450CT (pictured) compact-track loaders and as an option on its 430, 440,
450 and 465 skid-steer loaders. Case pilot controls for skid steers and
compact-track loaders can be ordered with H or ISO patterns. With the H
pattern, the operator uses the left-hand control to operate the left
drive motor as well as to raise and lower the loader arms. The
right-hand controller is used to operate the right drive motor and the
bucket curl and dump. With the ISO pattern, the drive functions are in
the left controller and the loader arm/bucket functions are in the right
controller. This allows for one-handed operation.

dual-shaft configurations. Collomix also offers four versatile mixing
stations. These hand-guided models are held in place by a portable stand

wide working surface holds the bucket and can be folded for
transportation. The mixing stations are designed for building projects
where the mixing of multi-component materials are needed. Each fits in

Product Spotlight
John Deere Donates Equipment
for Greensburg Tornado Cleanup
When a massive F5 tornado demolished Greensburg, Kan., on May 4,
the town was left with huge piles of debris to clear away before
rebuilding could begin. That's when John Deere and Murphy Tractor (a
Deere construction equipment dealer with locations in nearby Wichita,
Ulysses, Great Bend, Topeka and Dodge City) donated a 624J loader
equipped with a grapple bucket and an 850J waste handler dozer.
The 624J currently is busy picking up splintered wood from houses and
trees for transfer to the landfill, where it can be burned to make room
for other debris. The 850J waste handler is hard at work in the
specially built landfill, moving large loads into the burning pile. This
equipment is a part of the fleet that has removed more than 5,000 loads
of debris from the area, according to the May 16 newscast on local
television station KAKE-TV Channel 10.
The 624J is a productive machine at work in Greensburg, according to
Martin Miller, public affairs manager for the Kansas Department of
Transportation (KDOT), who has just over 100 team members from KDOT
currently working in the area. One reason for the machine's efficiency
is the unique attachment Murphy Tractor installed before sending it.
"With the grapple attachment, this machine actually can pick up nearly a
truckload of material in one scoop," Miller said. "The 624J with the
grapple attachment reaches down on a pile and picks up huge loads of
debris in one shot."
When the call came saying the equipment was desperately needed, the
staff of Murphy Tractor wasted no time. The 850J was a part of the John
Deere demonstration fleet in Omaha, Neb. Mark Savage, transportation
technician at Murphy Tractor in Omaha, loaded the machine onto a truck
Monday night-by Tuesday afternoon, it was hard at work in Greensburg.
The 624J originally was stationed at Coal Valley near the John Deere
headquarters in Moline, Ill. To get the machine to Greensburg as quickly
as possible, Wes Rezac of Rezac Trucking was called in.
