Tier 4 interim skid-steer loaders

The new Caterpillar 272D and 272D XHP skid-steer loaders replace their C Series predecessors and feature the Cat C3.8 Tier 4 interim engine. The electronically controlled engine is designed with a high-pressure common-rail fuel system for operating efficiency and is equipped with the Cat NO_x Reduction System and a diesel particulate filter for emissions reduction. Net-horsepower increases for the new D Series models range from 5 to 18 percent and flywheel torque increased from 13 to 27 percent. Larger lift cylinders provide a 19-percent boost in lifting force, compared with C Series models. www.cat.com/
