Skid-steer loaders
Caterpillar's C-Series
skid-steer loaders -- 246C, 256C, 262C and 272C -- feature
electro-hydraulic joystick control of the hydrostatic drive system and
electronic torque management for smooth operation. The C-Series machines
are designed for easy entry and exit. The large doorway and low
threshold create a large opening, and the tilt cylinders, now located
under the lift arms, do not interfere with access. The cab is designed
to provide a clean and quiet working environment. Ventilation air is
filtered to keep dust out and clean air in.

Compact excavator
Mustang Manufacturing
introduces the 3803ZT zero-tail-swing compact excavator. Its design
eliminates rear overhang and provides increased maneuverability and
visibility for the operator. The excavator also features a side-mounted
engine and rear-mounted hydraulic and fuel tanks, which allow for a
large operator's station. This design also gives mechanics easy access
to all maintenance points.

Saws
Walk-behind saws
The design of Wacker's
new series of walk-behind saws promotes long life and low maintenance. A
long-life poly V-belt provides direct power transmission from the engine
to the cutting shaft. Double-sealed bearings keep concrete and dust out,
reducing maintenance and prolonging the life of the bearings. Other
features include a vibration damping ergonomic handle system that makes
individual adjustments to the handle width and height possible, allowing
for optimum operator comfort and control of the unit.

Concrete saw
ICS introduces the 613GC
diamond chain-based concrete saw, which is an upgrade to the concrete
saw originally launched in 2002. The 613GC cuts up to 14 inches deep and
uses patented SealPro diamond-segmented chain technology. It is powered
by an 80cc displacement 2-cycle engine, which produces 5.7 hp. The new
ICS 613GC incorporates upgrades to the starter system, ignition and
cooling system to ensure durability and fewer user problems.

Silt-fence installer
attachment
The Bobcat silt-fence installer
attachment provides a fast and secure method of installing silt fence.
Silt-fence material is quickly threaded under a rod and through the
chute on the blade. The attachment is then lowered into the ground to a
maximum depth of 20 inches, and the silt fence unrolls automatically as
the machine is driven backward. The quick-change cap that mounts on the
end of the silt-fence holder includes a spring-loaded plate that ensures
proper tension so the roll won't unwind unintentionally.

McLaren introduces
the NU-AIR AT, a new all-terrain tire for skid steers and backhoes that
combines the cushioned ride of pneumatic tires with the durability of
solid tires. Featuring strategically placed holes throughout its
specifically engineered sidewalls, the NU-AIR AT is resistant to cuts
and snags in severe operating conditions. The placement and depth of the
sidewall holes are designed to create proper cushioning for optimum
machine performance and longevity.
