FASTER, MORE POWERFUL AND MORE STABLE
The Case CX17B delivers 15.15 net hp (11.3 kW), a 30-percent increase over theCX14 which it replaces. The swing speed of 0-8.6 rpm is increased 40 percent, while bucket force is increased 19 percent at 3,417 pounds (1550 kg). Arm force is increased 16 percent to 2,248 pounds (1020 kg), and lift capacity over the side is increased by eight to 10 percent to 1,380 pounds (620 kg).
Cycle times are faster due to a larger-capacity hydraulic pump. In addition, working range is increased by nearly half a foot with a longer boom. The arm has been strengthened so the machine is better able to handle breaker attachments and the rigours of everyday use.
The new three-post ROPS provides exceptionally easy entry and egress and gives the operator a less-interrupted view of the surrounding worksite, making it easy to complete precise digging or attachment operations.
The CX17B has an added measure of stability with a 20-percent increase in overall machine weight and a wider stance.
