Kubota KX040-4 Hydraulic 6-in-1 Blade
The hydraulic 6-in-1 Blade for Kubota’s KX040-4 compact excavator is loaded with performance enhancing features such as a load-sensing hydraulic system, speed balance, power balance and outstanding digging force. An adjustment of the thumb switch allows the 6-in-1 Blade to be angled to the right or left while the machine moves forward, eliminating the need for repetitive repositioning at right angles when backfilling trenches. Tilting requires a simple twist of the dozer grip. The blade’s capacity increases almost 0.75 cu yds over the standard blade and angles 25 degrees, improving backfilling time up to 35 percent.

Case Plate Compactors
Case added five new plate compactors to its attachments lineup — the SC-30, SC-60, SC-80, SC-110 and SC-220. The plate compactors are ideal for utility work and are primarily used to compact the foundation in shallower trenches and prevent movement/ground upheaval. These plates run on unidirectional hydraulics and are available in a variety of sizes. For soil compaction, the SC Series can compact up to 4 ft — more than five times the efficiency of handheld compactors. For slopes, the SC Series takes on the challenge of efficiently compacting materials on an incline. The new plate compactors can also drive and extract piles, fence posts, guardrails and more.
