Earth-Moving
Excavator
The Ditch Witch XT850 is a
cross between the company's SK (mini skid steer) and MX (mini excavator)
series. The lightweight excavator/tool carrier offers options including
trailer, stands, and a variety of attachments to handle underground
construction tasks. Designed for utility contractors, homebuilders,
landscapers and others, the XT850 features a patent-pending 260-degree
excavator sweep, which allows digging capability from one point. The
machine's turf-friendly rubber tracks are controlled by independent
hydrostatic ground drives, giving the operator zero-radius turning
capability.

Motor grader
John Deere's D-Series motor
graders have been updated with enhancements designed to deliver a boost
in productivity. These improvements include a mid-mount scarifier for
the 670D, 672D, 770D and 772D (pictured) machines; an integrated grade
control package that is designed to save installation time and provide
professional integration for the D-Series line; and for all-wheel-drive
machines, a new low-speed precision mode and improved steering. The
mid-mount scarifier option comes equipped with a full set of 11 teeth
and is mounted between the blade and the front wheels. Both the
front-mount scarifier and the rear-mount ripper-scarifier are offered as
well. The all-wheel-drive machines (672D, 772D, 872D) provide a
precision mode that lets the operator proceed at a super-slow speed.
Because of the hydrostatic front wheel drive, the operator can dial down
the tractor speed in first, second and third gears to about one-quarter
mile per hour.

Utility Scaffold
The Pro-Jax Utility Scaffold from Bil-Jax combines patented safety
features with an increased load capacity. The Pro-Jax measures 29 inches

The lightweight steel construction reinforces a plywood deck and can
support 1,000 pounds. Stacked units provide a maximum working height
above 23 feet. The patented Saf-T-Lok allows operators to adjust the
platform height in 2-inch increments, ensuring that the platform remains
level and locked securely during use.

Compressor
Atlas Copco
Compressors has taken the idea of hardhat protection and extended it
to its equipment. The XAS 185 JD7 HardHat portable air compressor is
covered with a unique polyethylene shell that minimizes wear, resists
dents, rust, corrosion and fading. A durable 4024TF270 John Deere
4-cylinder, 49-hp diesel engine and Atlas Copco's patented rotary screw
air-end generate free-air delivery of 185 cfm. Rear-mounted controls and
couplers are recessed for protection, which allows technicians
ease-of-maintenance and quick access to key filters and fluid levels.
Weighing in at just over 2,000 pounds, the unit allows for easy towing
and on-site moving. The balance of the HardHat makes it safe for one
person to hook up to the machine and move about the jobsite, according
to the manufacturer.
