Cut 20 Inches Untitled 1Cut 20 inches

Boost performance while saving on fuel costs with the Terex RS446C, a 415-horsepower reclaimer/stabilizer with a two-stage engine drive and three-speed cutter transmission that provides production rates of 155 feet per minute. Terex has decreased the turning radius by 50 percent to 14 feet by replacing spindles at the wheels with kingpins to enable the tires to pivot closer to the frame. Four-wheel drive ensures reliable operation in challenging soil stabilization applications, and the RS446C’s four-wheel steering offers four steering modes – crab, coordinated, front only and rear only. The service center at the rear of the machine simplifies maintenance through single point access for fluids and lube systems, while the frame design offers open access to the engine.

Big Engine BoostBIG ENGINE BOOST

Caterpillar has updated their B-Series 3 loaders, including adding a larger engine and updated hydraulics to the Model 242B3 skid steer. While small enough to operate in tight spaces, the 242B3 now has a 71-net-horsepower Cat C3.4 DIT diesel engine, boosting net power by 25 percent compared to B-Series 2 models, as well as increasing peak torque by 28 percent. The 242B3 also has larger lift and tilt cylinders to improve boom and bucket breakout force from 13 to 19 percent, and rated operating capacity has been increased to 2,150 pounds at 50 percent of tipping load.

An improved hydraulic system increases standard flow from 15.6 to 22 gpm, plus ups hydraulic horsepower by almost 40 percent.
