Komatsu America Corp. introduces the WB146-5 (pictured) and the WB146PS-5 backhoe loaders with Tier 2 engines. Both machines have an operating weight range of 16,090 pounds. The WB146-5 is powered by a turbocharged Komatsu engine with a flywheel horsepower of 88 hp to drive the Komatsu’s HydrauMind hydraulic system that is designed to deliver power and precision. The drivetrain includes a four-speed synchro-shuttle transmission with standard four-wheel drive for improved traction in soft soil applications. The new “S”-shaped backhoe boom combined with a telescopic arm gives the unit digging depths of up to 18 feet, 4 inches.
