A 143-horsepower Cummins Tier 3 QSB6.7 engine powers the 50,520-pound machine. The excavator has a maximum dig depth of 22 feet, 1 inch and a bucket breakout force of 31,830 pounds.
Electronically controlled valves are designed to allow for independent flow and tuning to specific applications and operators. The operator can also adjust the speed ratio between attachments, match joystick signal and single operation speed from a computer or cluster and self-diagnose.
The HI-POSS technology is also said to simplify maintenance.
