The 100C-1 compact excavator from JCB North America has an H-design undercarriage, steel body panels, a spacious operator environment and a 74 hp Tier 4 Final engine. With an operating weight of 21,458 pounds, it has a maximum bucket tear-out force of 16,231 ft-lbs and a dipper arm tear-out force of 9,510 ft-lbs. It has a maximum dig depth of 15 feet, a dump height of 18 feet 6 inches, and a reach at ground level of 24 feet 4 inches. A reduced-loss hydraulic system operates with reduced back pressure, eliminating parasitic losses, and the hydraulic system puts less demand on the engine, reducing fuel consumption. A graphite-based pin-and-bush design delivers 500-hour greasing intervals for reduced daily maintenance and lower operating costs. Two digging modes, including an ECO mode for maximum efficiency and a HEAVY mode for increased productivity, make it possible to tailor performance to the application. 912/447-2000; www.jcbna.com
