Test Run of Case’s New E Series Excavators

[@Dutch4609]

The turbo you’re hearing is the HX35. The 6.7L FPT engine is exceptionally reliable. No EGR or DPF, does still retain the DEF system, but it’s also very reliable.

Good honest review, Thanks ☘️🇮🇪

Great video! Nice to hear from someone that knows what they are talking about. I have always run CASE excavators, until last year when I couldn't find a 160D and bought the Link Belt version 160X4. I love the machine, and have been interested in what the E series brought forward. One thing that I like about the Isuzu engine in the D/X4 is the fuel economy. The machine seems to absolutely sip fuel, even for as powerful as it is. I hope the FPT is at least as good on fuel.

Am getting in the business qoukdnu recommend CASE as a cheaper alternarive to CAT?

[@Reoh]

you should try and do some reviews on wheeled excavators

Until I moved to Sweden, I had worked a machine with revs below full throttle. But in Sweden it is very common to run excavators at just above half throttle. Volvo for instance has a throttle dial with Idle, Fine, General, High and Power mode, and General mode is basically the middle. That’s commonly how they will run their machines 90% of the time, (I assume because diesel is so damn expensive) and I’ve had bosses stress that the revs shouldn’t be used higher than that unless I really need to. So the different stages on the new case would be at home in Sweden. I remember the Sumitomo -5 excavators had a staged throttle also, but I always ran that in SP in New Zealand.

Ooooooooooooooooof..... 🤣 Unfortunately so say the mechanics that work on our stuff. The DEF systems don't work well at lower temperature and have problems. I've had one loader have a DEF crystal clog in the filter twice. Lesson learned was run the piss out of the thing so it has a reason to burn the DEF fluid... Ballz to the wall Boyz 😆

[@pollin1337]

I feel I should note that it was a loader. However our Case excavators have such faulty DEF systems that they fail and seem to just refuse to burn the DEF fluid. So we hardly refill it... Also... so say the mechanics that work on our stuff. Though the hydraulics are rated to operate at 45° grade. The turntable is not, and will fail if overused at "extreme" grades. School of hard knocks 🤣 You'd think they'd test these things before thier sales team starts running thier mouths 🤔

I hope they didn't do what Cat did with their next gen Excavators. I'm a long time Cat guy but the next gen Hoes are way too technological and also a very poor operating Excavator. Hydraulically speaking they are a horrible machine. A 245D LC will run circles around a next gen 374. Goodbye Cat.

Chi è questo operatore scarso

I still like Kobelco excavators and I'm a Deere fan 😄
