721E Wheel Loader

Case Construction Equipment introduces the 721E wheel loader, which features enhanced operator comfort, Tier 3-certified power and best-in-class maintainability and serviceability, including ground-line service checks. The 721E wheel loader is powered by a fully electronic 6.7-liter Tier 3 Case engine that produces 183 net hp (137Kw). The machine has an operating weight of 30,644 pounds (13900 kilograms). Bucket capacity is 3.01 cubic yards (2.30 cubic meters). The engine allows operators to match power and fuel economy to their application by choosing between three power curves (max, standard and economy power), and four work modes (max, standard, economy and auto). For high-production activities choose maximum power. For operations such as handling palletized material, use economy mode. In auto mode, the electronically controlled engine adjusts between power curves to move the maximum amount of material per pound of fuel. The quiet, roomy cab features tilt steering and infinitely adjustable seat and arm rests.

CX210B Series Excavator

Case Construction Equipment introduces the CX210B excavator featuring increased fuel efficiency and productivity, improved operator comfort, easier maintenance, and enhancements to durability and reliability. The Case CX210B delivers a 20 percent increase in fuel efficiency and a 17 percent increase in horsepower over the previous model, thanks to the new electronically controlled, common rail Tier 3-certified engine. This engine burns cleaner and more efficiently, yielding 157 net hp (117 kW). Increased hydraulic flow has improved cycle times. The machine also provides increased breakout forces, primarily due to larger-diameter hydraulic cylinders. The cab on the CX210B offers improved operator comfort and ergonomics. The noise levels inside the cab are the quietest in the industry at 68.6 dBa. Maintainability and serviceability has been improved substantially, as measured by the SAE maintenance score, earning less than 15,000 points, well below competitive models and the SAE target of 16,000.
