New Holland Construction is launching the new C Series backhoe loader produced at its Pithampur plant in India.
The cab has been entirely redesigned, taking operator comfort to a new level. New rear side glasses further improve visibility, already excellent in the previous series. The layout of the controls has been revised for ease of use, with the switches regrouped on the right-hand console, and parking brakes moved to a new position.
A host of features such as a USB port, a 12v port on the instrument cluster, and a mobile phone holder, contribute to making the operator’s life on board easier. Storage has been drastically increased, and includes 2 lockable compartments, 2 bottle holders, and 4 open trays, adding up to industry-leading capacity.
The new C Series carries over the low Total Cost of Ownership of its predecessor, with the proven S8000 FPT engine, which delivers a highly fuel-efficient, powerful performance. The power shuttle transmission with torque converter ensures seamless cycles and stall-free operation. The closed-centre hydraulic system and high-flow oil pump deliver fast cycles when excavating and loading. The new cab design also contributes to the low TCO with the new side glasses that are less expensive to replace. The tilting engine hood and central service point location provide best-in-class accessibility for quick maintenance operations, resulting in more uptime and lower operating costs.
