Limerick-based Doosan Bobcat dealer, Adare Machinery, will be showing a wide array of Doosan and Bobcat equipment at the 2016 National Ploughing Championships, taking place in Screggan, Tullamore, Co Offaly in Ireland from 20-22 September 2016.
The National Ploughing Championships is the largest Outdoor Exhibition and Agricultural Trade Show in Europe, showcasing a huge range of new agricultural and construction equipment for the Irish market and further afield. Attended by over 281,000 visitors in 2015, last year’s show was host to Adare’s biggest ever stand, but the stand for the 2016 show promises to be even bigger and busier, with several new Doosan and Bobcat products being shown for the first time in Ireland, including the new Doosan Stage IV compliant DX140LCR-5 15 tonne reduced tail swing crawler excavator and the Bobcat T450 compact tracked loader.
Other Doosan products on the stand include the DX140LC-5 14 tonne crawler excavator and the Doosan DL450-5 wheel loader. The Bobcat display will include the TL358+ telehandler for the farming market and the larger T35130S 13 m telehandler for the construction and rental industries. These will be joined on the stand by a wide selection of Bobcat compact excavators running from the E10 to the E26 models and Bobcat skid-steer loaders including the S70, S530 and S770 models. All of the Bobcat compact loaders will be equipped with different attachments from a choice of over 60 types of Bobcat attachment for use with the Bobcat compact loader range.
Higher Power – Lower Fuel Consumption
The new Doosan DX140LCR-5 excavator offers increased performance, durability and fuel efficiency, with a focus on greater power, robustness and versatility. Power is provided by the Perkins 1204F engine, which combines reduced fuel consumption with the power and torque of larger engines with a smaller displacement. The new Perkins 1204F engine provides a 6% increase in power with an output of 85.9 kW (115.3 HP) at 2000 rpm and a 3% increase in torque. Swing torque has also been boosted by 28%.
Fuel consumption has been lowered by up to 10% compared to the previous generation machine. As well as the Stage IV engine, new systems and functions have been incorporated to achieve this significant result.
Filling the gap in the range between the T110 and T590 models once occupied by the discontinued T140 loader, the new Bobcat T450 compact tracked loader offers a massive increase in power combined with hydraulic and hydrostatic efficiency improvements that translate into significantly increased productivity.
Manufactured at the Bobcat plant in Dobris in the Czech Republic, the T450 is powered by the Bobcat D24 45.5 kW (61 HP) turbocharged diesel engine, providing 25% more power than the T140 model, ensuring the T450 has the best performance and engine power to weight ratio in its class.
Equipped with radial lift boom arms, the rated operating capacity of the T450 has also increased from 642 kg to 665 kg, while the operating weight has been reduced from 2990 kg to 2789 kg. Thanks to its compact dimensions and lower weight, the T450 is even easier to transport on a trailer towed by a light truck, 4 x 4, or all-terrain vehicle.
