New Holland's new track loaders

New Holland has introduced
three compact track loaders in the new 200 Series. The new machines feature
best-in-class forward dump height and reach – boosting operator profits and
productivity.

"The New Holland 200 Series
compact track loaders have been designed from the ground up, based on input
from customers across North America," said Dave December, product marketing
manager at New Holland. "These machines are built to tackle the toughest construction,
landscaping and agricultural applications."

The New Holland C232 and
C238 compact track loaders feature the patented vertical lift Super Boom® design,
delivering the industry's best forward dump height and reach.

"The New Holland Super Boom®
loader arm design provides superior productivity," December said. "Unlike
competitive models, they can reach higher and further to load material to the
center of trucks, finishing jobs faster."

The new self-leveling bucket
feature on each model also allows attachments to maintain the preset location
throughout the lift cycle.

Customers with varied levels
of operator experience will appreciate how easy work can be completed with the
self-leveling and Glide Ride features. For long load and carry operations, the optional
Glide Ride feature on the New Holland C232 and C238 compact track loaders
ensures a smooth ride over the roughest terrain.

The overall width is just 79
inches (200 cm) on the C232 and C238 models equipped with the 18-inch (46 cm)
tracks, to make it easier to transport these machines on a standard trailer.

New radial lift model introduced

New Holland also introduced
the C227 model, a radial lift machine. This design provides excellent digging
performance for landscaping and construction applications.

The new 200 Series compact
track loaders feature superior flotation, traction and stability. "Operators
are productive in sloppy, sandy or muddy conditions," December said. "Plus, the
low ground pressure provides maximum flotation and minimum soil disturbance,
making New Holland compact track loaders ideal for landscapers.

The dump angle on the new
200 Series compact track loaders has been increased to a best-in-class 53
degrees. This lets operators empty the bucket faster, resulting in faster cycle
times and increased productivity.

The New Holland 200 Series
cab, with dozens of upgrades from our L Series, provides a superior working
environment. It is one of the widest, most comfortable cabs in the industry,
providing more head and foot room, and offering twice the visibility in
critical zones," says December.

Unmatched stability

Stability is an important
part of being productive on the job site. Because the rigid undercarriage and
machine weight is distributed over a large area, New Holland compact track
loaders provide a stable ride over the roughest working surfaces. The frame
sheds material away from the track, minimizing downtime. Undercarriage
components include permanently lubed idlers and rollers, and a strong,
steel-belted rubber track. With fewer moving parts than a suspension track
system, maintenance costs are significantly reduced.

Attachments increase versatility

"

New
Holland offers more than 50 compact track loader attachments to handle
countless construction, landscaping or agricultural jobs," December said. "From
digging, lifting and hammering, to trenching, planing or drilling, operators
can count on New Holland attachments to boost their productivity. Plus, our new
loaders feature a hydraulic heavy-duty coupler for customers who frequently
change attachments."
