Kubota
Kubota introduces three new zero-tail-swing excavators, adding the U15, U25 and U45 models to the U-series lineup. These 1.5-ton, 2.5-ton and 4.5-ton excavators, respectively, are designed for work in tight spaces.

Bobcat
The 335 compact excavator has a maximum dig depth of 11 feet, 8 inches and a maximum reach of 17 feet, 10 inches at ground level. Two-speed travel motors increase the machine's mobility around jobsites by providing a 2-mph low travel speed and a 3.4-mph high travel speed. The rubber tracks distribute the operating weight of the 9,170-pound excavator over a larger area to lower the ground pressure to 4.8 psi and minimize damage to landscapes and other surfaces.

Komatsu
Komatsu's new WA450-6 (pictured) and WA480-6 wheel loaders are equipped with the latest Komtrax technology, which sends the machine operating information to a secure website using wireless technology. Hour meter, location, cautions and maintenance alerts are relayed to the web application for analysis. With two selectable operating modes that are easily adjustable, the engine adapts to different working conditions. The E mode provides maximum fuel efficiency for general loading, and the P mode has a maximum power output for hard digging operation and hill climbing.

Case Construction Equipment
Case has added two new models, the 420CT (pictured) and 440CT, to its compact track loader line. The machines are rated at 56 and 82 net hp, respectively. The dozer-style undercarriage on the compact track loaders have a fit and finish that minimizes exposure to material and moisture. The units incorporate a unitized welded-steel, tub-style chassis designed for heavy workloads. The flotation and low ground pressure reduce surface damage and soil compaction, allowing operators to get back on the jobsite more quickly in the spring or after a rain.

Yanmar
Yanmar's model ViO35 mini-excavator is rated at 7,740 pounds with canopy and has an 11-foot maximum digging depth. Bucket changes facilitated with Yanmar's hydraulic quick-coupler system are designed to use many manufacturers' buckets. Bucket changes can be made quickly from the comfort of the extra-spacious operator's platform. Wall-hugging zero-tail swing, and left and right boom swing, allow the unit to track adjacent to walls for maximum digging and trenching productivity. Large dozing blades coupled with Yanmar's VICTAS offset track design combine to provide side-to-side stability without increasing track width.
