Komatsu Excavator
Komatsu has introduced a new model to its tight tail swing excavator family -
the PC228USLC3. It provides the balance, speed and power of their standard
excavator but its tight
tail swing allows you to perform work in limited spaces such as roadways,
bridges, urban areas and logging roads. The PC228USLC3's short tail swing radius
enables the excavator to completely turn on its bearing with very little machine
overhang. In addition, it occupies a maximum road width of 13 ft. 5 in.,
allowing the machine to work in one lane. Other features include a 143hp six cylinder
Komatsu SAA6D102E engine, extended digging height of 34 ft. 11 in, a bigger
bucket capacity of 2 cu. yards and increased bucket digging force (31,085 lbs.)
and arm crowd force (22,708 lbs.)
Whole Tree Chipper
If you're looking for a whole tree chipper, Morbark may have the answer. Model
20/36 is their largest unit yet in a
line of whole tree chippers. It's designed to fit the niche between whole tree
and handfed chippers. Affordable and compact, it is ideal for municipalities,
tree services and land clearing companies. It's also an effective recycler of
wood waste, including brush, logging slash and orchard prunings. The 20/36 is
equipped with a MorLift Model 150 hydraulic knuckleboom loader and grapple, and
has a lift capacity of 2,000 pounds at 10 feet. It has a drum speed of 100011090
PRM and can be equipped with a Cummins or John Deere engine. For more

SK48OLC Hydraulic Excavator
Kobelco's proud to announce their new SK48OLC dynamic Acera hydraulic excavator.
It features a 315hp engine at
2,200 rpm, bucket capacity of 1.5 to 4.0 yd3, and onboard monitoring systems. It
weighs in at 108,045 lbs. The excavator is equipped with three, simple operating
modes: manual, assist and breaker. And stability has been improved by seven
percent over the front and by nine percent over the side. The upper revolving
frame and undercarriage has been strengthened to handle bigger loads, increasing
the machine's overall weight. If you would like more information on the new
Kobelco excavator write them at 12755 S. Kirkwood Drive, Stafford, Texas 77477,

Improved Filters
Baldwin Filters introduces its Vortex™ line - including three new patent
pending dualflow lube filters to be used on Cummins ISM, IXS and Series 600
engines as replacements for the Fleetguard Venturi Filter line. The Vortex lube
filters provide improved engine
protection during extended oil drain intervals, high idle time and harsh
operating conditions. There are two major differences between standard dualflow
lube spinon filters and the new Vortex design. First, the Vortex allows 15
percent of the oil to flow through the bypass section of the filter instead of
the standard 10 percent. Second, it has one inlet and one outlet. Oil flowing
through the filter is sent directly to180 the engine to protect vital engine
components, rather than a portion being returned to the sump as with
conventional dualflow filters. For more information, call (800) 822-5394, fax
(800) 828-4453 or visit their website at www.baldwinfilter.com
New Dozers
Komatsu unveils the D65EX/PX 12 BOSS series crawler dozers. The latest addition
to Komatsu's midsize BOSS Series range in operating
weight from the 42,700 lb. EX12 version to the 44,975 lb. PX12. The new dozer
features the Komatsu S6D125E2 turbo charged diesel engine, delivering 190hp at
1950 rpm, and it meets current U.S. and CARB emission requirements. The
hydrostatic steering system enables the dozer to maintain power on both tracks,
regardless of whether it's moving straight or turning. For more information on
the D65EX/PX12, visit the Komatsu website at www.KomatsuAmerica.com
