The performance and fuel efficiency differential has been further increased. Initial field testing confirms that the 14% increase in power to 187 kW (251 HP) results in improved machine performance and response for quicker, smoother boom cycles, improved feed acceleration and braking, and more powerful swing. In addition, hydraulic system refinements target boom efficiency, reducing fuel consumption.
