Earth-Moving
Crawler
dozers
The 650 Series 2 crawler dozers from Case Construction Equipment feature
engines that meet Tier-2 certification and provide improved performance
and emissions control. The dozers feature high-performance hydraulics
for blade speed, breakout force and precise control. The 650K dozer also
features a quiet, high-visibility operator’s compartment; hydrostatic
PowerStat drive for maximum power through the turn; an easy-to-clean
undercarriage; and tilting operators station for fast and easy service
and repair. The PowerStat components are designed for the high
horsepower needed to push the fullest blades, even through curves and
turns. This reduces the number of passes needed to move material. The
650K delivers from 80 net hp and a net torque of 262 pounds. The blade
capacity for the unit is 2.0 cubic yards, and it features 88 inches of
track on the ground. Blade widths range from 98 inches to 130 inches.
The blades can be adjusted to a maximum 52 degrees forward and 60
degrees reelward by removing a clip pin.

during operation, and operators can further increase comfort by choosing
between mechanical or pilot controls. In addition, Volvo skid-steer
loaders feature liquid-cooled, 16-valve Volvo engines.

Aerial Equipment
Aerial
work platform
The JLG 1230ES elevating mast
platform comes with a duty cycle that is up to 300-percent longer.
Energy-saving electric motors on the front wheels power the 1,740- pound
machine at a top speed of 3 mph. The JLG 1230ES features a 500-pound
platform capacity and built-in workstation, including a tool and
fastener tray and 110V AC outlet. The hydraulic powered platform can
lift to its maximum height of 12 feet or fully lower in 12 seconds.
Because of the machine’s narrow overall dimensions and 5-inch inside
turning radius, it can negotiate narrow passages and fit into most
freight elevators. The steel three-section mast lacks chains, cables or
rollers, making it maintenance free. And because it has only four
hydraulic connections, the chance of hydraulic fluid leaks is minimal.

Framing
nailer
DeWalt introduces the
heavy-duty round head framing nailer — D51850 — and heavy-duty
clipped head framing nailer — D51825 (pictured). The lightweight
framing nailers are each built with a magnesium body and side guards to

performing in high and low temperatures on the jobsite and have a nail
lock out for prolonged tool life. The new aluminum magazine on each of
the nailers delivers a nail capacity range from 2 to 3.5 inches, by
.113-inch to .148-inch. The 8-pound nailers are designed with a large
bumber and a four-bolt nose design that allows for less recoil and
increased nail penetration.

Other Products
Tiller
The FC600 mid-tine commercial-grade tiller from American Honda replaces
the popular FG500 and F501 mid-tine tillers. Product improvements
include simplified operation such as an easier one-touch transport wheel
that can be engaged or disengaged with one hand without the use of
tools. A new front guard minimizes the potential for damage during
transport, functions as an attachment point for tie-downs and acts as a
convenient carry handle. A new heavy-duty fender protects the drive-belt
cover and increases resistance to rocks and debris while new tine axle
seal guards and updated axle seals minimize the likelihood of
transmission contamination.
