RACINE, WI, Oct. 14, 2009 (Marketwire) --
RACINE, WI -- (Marketwire) -- 10/14/09 -- Case Construction Equipment today announced the addition of the 650L to its crawler dozer line. The new Case 650L crawler dozer delivers more performance, a lower overall operating height and weight, and superior maintenance features that boost productivity. The machine is ideal for residential job sites and confined commercial work areas.
The 650L retains the superior features of the Case crawler dozer line, such as hydrostatic drive, a comfortable operator compartment, two undercarriage options and superior maintainability.
The 650L delivers 74 net horsepower (55 kW) through a Tier 3-certified, four-cylinder, 4.5-liter turbocharged Case Family IV engine with electronic fuel injection for maximum fuel efficiency and easier starts in cold weather. A high-pressure common-rail injection system delivers excellent combustion. A charge air cooler reduces emissions and provides a cleaner and more efficient fuel burn.
Sized to fit the application
The lower operating height allows the 650L to work around low overhangs, while its lighter weight is ideal for work in soft soil conditions. The shorter track means easier turning, making the machine extremely maneuverable on the job site. The compact size also makes the crawler dozer easy to transport from job to job.
"Case also offers a 90-inch blade for more precise work in confined job conditions," said Ion Warner, senior director of marketing. "This allows for operation between buildings with narrow lot lines."
Hydrostatic drive delivers maximum control
The isolation-mounted dual path hydrostatic drive components on the 650L deliver precise variable power turning and counter rotation for superior maneuverability and performance. The adjustable operator settings allow the customer to set the steering, shuttle and maximum speed based on personal preference or application.
"The Case system has dual hydrostatic pumps that deliver power to each track through large drive components," Warner said. "This allows operators to push more material through the turn, reducing the number of passes required to move material."
Easy service access and increased comfort
The seat on the 650L tilts easily for access to the hydrostatic system. The new design reduces the machine's operating height by five inches. Optional hydraulic test ports are now available on the 650L for fast diagnosis and easy troubleshooting.
The optional cab on the crawler dozer is isolation mounted from the main frame to cushion against noise and vibration, increasing comfort and productivity. The mechanical suspension seat is standard, with an optional air suspension seat. A high-capacity air conditioning system is standard with cab units.
