Product Report: Smooth shift artists
Getting feedback from experienced grader operators and owners was a key – and from all indications, prized – part of Volvo’s design process on its G900 Series motor graders. And the engineers made copious notes as this group had no shortage of opinions: While the operators loved the tighter turning radius and what they termed […]

Engine Notebook: Cummins technology for 2007 and Tier 3
The first U.S. emissions regulations for on-highway diesels arrived in 1973. The first U.S. emissions regulations for mobile off-highway diesels arrived in 1996, a lag of 23 years. The gap between on- and off-highway implementation has now narrowed to three or four years. The goal is to have all diesel applications coordinated by 2015 or […]

Maintenance/Management: Dealing with dust
Heavy equipment engines may be massive and powerful, but all it takes is a teaspoon of dust to ruin one. Silica, the primary ingredient in dust, is highly abrasive and acts like a lapping compound – polishing your piston rings, valves, cams and crankshafts and sandblasting your fuel injectors or any moving part with tight […]

Product Report: Caterpillar
While EPA’s Tier 3 emissions requirements were the primary driver for Caterpillar’s newest generation of mid-size, D-Series excavators, the company didn’t limit its improvements to a cleaner engine system. Using the C-Series excavators as a starting point, engineers spent a portion of their resources meeting the emission rules that took effect this year for 175- […]

Engine Notebook: Cat gets ACERT-ive
A key goal in Caterpillar’s development of ACERT technology was to provide commonality – one basic strategy to meet in-place and upcoming emissions standards for both on- and off-highway applications. It’s working. The same basic design that satisfies current Tier 3 nonroad standards will be the platform on which Tier 4 nonroad engines will be […]
