#CASE DOZER ISO#

It features a vertical-lift pattern and operates in the ISO control pattern. In its loader configuration, the Case Minotaur DL550 features a 5,500-lb rated operating capacity (50 percent of tipping load) with 12,907 lbs of breakout force. It also provides rental fleets the ability to easily switch between machine control brands, which allows for excellent rental flexibility based on customer preference. This allows equipment owners to add the machine to their fleet with the confidence it can be integrated directly into preferred/existing machine control ecosystems. This establishes greater performance and long-term reliability than the simple combination of a dozer blade attachment to a traditional compact track loader.ĬASE Universal Machine Control provides universal harnesses and brackets to integrate machine control solutions from any of the big three providers of precision construction solutions - Leica Geosystems, Topcon and Trimble. This design provides the stability and smooth operating plane of a small dozer while ensuring that all operating power is channeled through the whole body of the machine. The C-frame hydraulically couples into both the chassis of the machine, as well as the attachment coupler. The hallmark advancement of the Case Minotaur DL550 is the chassis-integrated C-frame with six-way dozer blade. So small contractors, large contractors, contractors looking for a nimble, powerful product, the Minotaur is going to deliver that for them. This is truly a dozer first, but you can also quickly and swiftly drop that C-frame blade and enable it to be a loader. The integrated C-frame is different than putting a small dozer blade on a compact track load or skid steer. I really want you to make sure you look at the controls. It shares basically the same skin, but it’s what’s inside that’s very different. It’s a dozer first,” emphasized Terry Dolan, head of Case Construction Equipment-North America at the Minotaur press launch last week. Here’s Terry Dolan, head of Case Construction Equipment-North America, at the Minotaur press launch back in August, which I attended. Just don’t confuse the Minotaur with a CTL. Weighing in at more than 18,000 lbs and working with 114 hp, the new first-of-its-kind machine delivers true dozing and grading performance, as well as powerful site loading capabilities and compatibility with hundreds of attachments. There’s nothing else like this on the market, so let’s get into the details. But once that big C-frame blade is dropped, the DL550 can attach to and power any skid steer or track loader attachment with its high-flow auxiliary hydraulics (standard), delivering up to 41.6 gpm.

There are a variety of grade control options (2D, 3D), multiple track choices (including two steel tracks with single or triple grousers) and the use of dozer-style paddle joysticks (with 16 virtual gears). The DL550 can be outfitted with a five-shank ripper on the back for tearing up tough terrain.

It’s a chassis-integrated six-way dozer blade, and it attaches to the DL550 via two enormous C-shaped metal hooks.
