Extend Manufacturing
Extend Manufacturing introduces the new line of TMX towable mini-excavators, which feature a quick-on and quick-off hitch system. The TMX units can be hooked behind a standard ½-ton pick-up, van or light-duty tow vehicle. TMX units eliminate tracks by using zero-turn technology common on lawn mowers. The zero-turn rotation enables access to tight locations and allows work on well-established lawns or greens. Weighing 2,941 pounds, the TMX features an 8-foot digging depth. It offers a 72-inch, 4-way blade system for efficient backfilling and grading.

It also features a lighter weight boom fabrication with cast pivot joints. The 324 offers a maximum dig depth of 8 feet, 6 inches, reach at ground level of 14 feet, and dump height clearance of 8 feet, 8 inches.

Kubota
Kubota introduces the U55, its largest model in the U-Series of compact excavators.

A 47.6-gross-hp, direct-injection Kubota diesel engine features single-side servicing and includes an auto-idle feature that conserves fuel and reduces noise level. A new, load-sensing hydraulic system employs a combination of closed and open center controls to ensure strong digging forces and minimize slow down during travel when using attachments.

Gehl
Gehl adds the 283Z zero-tail-swing compact excavator to its line-up. The 2.8-ton 283Z can be transported on a passenger car trailer with a permissible weight of 3.5 tons. The size of the operator's compartment is maximized by mounting the 20.4-hp Yanmar diesel engine on the side of the machine, and the hydraulic and fuel tanks on the rear of the machine. This provides the operator with more space and legroom. To maximize serviceability, a large, lockable engine hood opens to allow complete access to hydraulic system test ports, hydraulic pumps and all engine components.
