Earth-Moving
Excavator
Volvo's
EC700B excavator features the Volvo Advanced Control System that
balances engine power with hydraulic pump output to provide maximum
production with minimal fuel consumption. The EC700B features a Volvo
D16C EAE3 425-hp engine, a lift capacity of 34,680 pounds, a maximum
reach of 43 feet, 3 inches, a digging depth of 27 feet, 7 inches, a
breakout force of 67,750 pounds and an operating weight of 148,810 to
154,980 pounds. The excavator's digging and lifting forces are the
result of the high-torque engine and its ability to drive a unique
hydraulic system so that both high pressure and flow are achieved.

Grade control system
Trimble offers the GCS600
grade control system for excavators, which is designed for excavation,
trenching, grading and profile work. Typical applications include
excavating basements, foundations and footers, flat bottom and simple
slope trenching, flat slope grading and embankments, and profile
excavations of canals or batters.
"The GCS600 for excavators is a highly flexible depth and slope system
for excavation, trenching, grading and profile work," says Jeff Winke,
director of public relations and special projects for High Velocity
Communications, which represents Trimble. "Designed for both tracked and
wheeled hydraulic excavators, it is ideal for earthmoving, site
preparation and general contractors looking for an economical and
easy-to-use grade control system to improve their productivity and
profitability."

Excavator
The 330 LX Link-Belt excavator
by LBX has been updated with a Tier 3 emission-certified, 271-hp engine,
which uses a common-rail fuel-injection system, a fuel cooler and
turbocharger with intercooler. The Isuzu AH-6HK1XYSS engine reduces
nitrogen oxide emissions while retaining performance, reliability and
durability by using exhaust gas recirculation. To provide additional
versatility, auxiliary piping brackets are included as standard, so
operators using allied attachments such as hammers, thumbs, compactors,
shears, grapples or crushers can install aftermarket hydraulic plumbing
without the need for welding or painting. The 330 LX also features a
"green plug" for draining engine oil to prevent spills and to keep the
environment clean.

Grinder
The Edco SEC single-disc
grinder is designed to grind 200- to 250-square-feet of concrete per
hour. Its new round shroud gets tights against walls, and its 10-inch
steel-core rubber wheels are designed for easy rolling. A new 25-foot
power cord and cord retainer keep the cord from pulling out of the
starter box. Applications include grinding concrete and repairing
damaged concrete slabs.

Stump grinder
The model 2100 self-propelled stump grinder from Bandit Industries features a
2-speed drive system that allows operators to quickly reach a stump, yet
moves slowly enough to travel over rough and uneven terrain. For those
operating in wet and muddy conditions, the 2100 can be set up for
4-wheel drive. Optional dual tires also provide stability and flotation
when traveling over rough terrain.
"Narrow enough to fit through a 36-inch gate, the Bandit 2100 stump
grinder goes virtually anywhere, and now with a 35-hp Briggs & Stratton
engine, disposes of stumps quicker and more efficiently than before,"
says Ray Eluskie, marketing manager for Bandit Industries. "A custom
trailer is also available for the 2100, equipped with a mesh screen
drop-down ramp and a pinning device that secures the front of the
grinder to the trailer."
