Mini Excavators: Case CX17B

The CX17B Compact Excavator has hydraulic retractable tracks that allow the machine to pass through a 39-inch opening.

It delivers 15.15 net hp, swing speed is 0-8.6 rpm, and bucket force is 3,417 pounds. Arm force is 2,248 pounds and lift capacity over the side is 1,380 pounds. The three-post ROPS provides easy entry and egress and gives the operator a less-interrupted view of the surrounding worksite.

Pilot-operated hand controls deliver comfortable, responsive functionality. A selectable control-pattern changer lets the operator choose a preferred control pattern.

The center-swing boom design provides productive digging around stationary objects or alongside obstacles. A display panel includes readouts on engine oil pressure, water temperature, low-fuel warning, hour meter and more. 262.636.6011, www.casece.com
