Mack MP10







The Mack MP10 specifically designed for Macks Titan truck is one of the biggest engines out there. The 16 Liter diesel engine puts out anywhere from 510 to 600 horse power. This is a great and ideal motor for hauling heavy loads with the durability and the strength to keep on going. The MP10 is tp notch in its torque class and the titan is know for its use in logging, oil hauling and special heavy equipment. Not only is the Mack Titan paired with this huge motor but it has some of the most cutting edge technology incorporated. For example the electrically controlled turbocharger to gauge the performance and keep it at ts best. This brand new motor incorporates fewer parts with more durability with stronger bearings and one piece piston reducing the chances of part failure. As well as an engine brake that weighs 50 pounds less than all of the competitors. Mack has done its homework and has created a motor that can fit to each specific need depending of the culture of your business.

Detroit Diesel






For heavy duty construction, hauling, or a different type of large scale commercial trucking the DD13 is a top quality motor. The Detroit Diesel is a large 12.8L high powered and fuel saving innovation. Putting out a whopping 350- 470 horsepower and 1250- 1650 foot pound of torque, this is the ideal diesel engine for tri axle trucks as well as tri axle eighteen wheeler trucks. Some of the notable features about the Detroit is the integrated engine brake (Jake Brake), as well as a ribbed cast iron block that reduces noise and vibrations. Increased fuel economy thanks to bluetech emission technology saves the environment as well as the price at the pump. incorporated into this motor is the diesel exhaust fluid that is found in all of the current diesel engines. Another big plus is the fact that most of the parts are compatible with the larger DD15 and DD16 motors. With life expectancy of a million miles and a turbocharger that has fewer moving parts compared to competitors, it sets itself apart from the competition Below is an example of the size of a truck that would hold this engine.


Caterpiller C7 Diesel


 
 Above is a Ford F650 with a CAT c7 diesel engine


The CAT c7 diesel is a 6 cylinder diesel engine that was produced from 2003 up until 2009. this engine is found in medium duty trucks such as Ford, Gmc, Pacer and freightliner. A medium duty truck is considered to be a truck with a GVW of 18,000 to 33,000 pounds. The displacement of the engine is a 7.2L. in 2007 when the emission laws came out the engines produced after that had to comply with the use of ultra low sulfur diesel fuel, and the horse power ratings ranged from 210 to 360 depending on which year motor was in the truck. the same thing goes for the torque with it ranging anywhere from 520 to 925. The life expectancy for these engines is from 400,000 to 500,000 miles, assuming all of the regular maintenance is kept up with. That includes oil changes, filters, and tune ups. Below is a CAT c7 diesel engine

DIesel Leaf Loader





 Scag 48Hp Kubota diesel leaf loader


Scag is a manufacturer of many landscape and agricultural commercial products. The 48 horse power diesel leaf loader, the 4 cylinder Kubota engine provides maximum suction power for sucking up leaves, grass sticks and just about anything in its path. the liquid cooled engine has a reverse cooling fan to the engine constantly cool and running smooth. The engine operates a propeller fan clutch that spins and sucks of yard debris and blows it into the back of dump trucks and dump trailers. with a 12 inch wide hose that has an adjustable hanging level it gives the operator complete control. the machine weighs approximately 2300 pounds and can be easily towed by any adjustable pintle hitch. It is a great tow behind machine because of the fact that it does not sit on the back of a tailgate. Ideal machine for commercial landscapers, especially for fall cleanups. The only disadvantage these tow behind machines have from personal experience is the maneuverability when backing up. this is due to the lack of visibility and not being able to see it when turning from the large blind spot

CAT 420 Backhoe





 CAT 420 Backhoe


        The CAT 420 backhoe Comes standard with a Caterpillar C4.4 Acert DIT. DIT stands for Direct injected turbo charged putting out 93 horsepower and 323 Foot lb of torque. As far as industry standards go the CAT 420 backhoe is the top of its class with that and the John Deere 410 backhoe. Both are superior however are different in many ways from engine to cab design and controls. The approximate load height for the front bucket is about 11.9 feet and the digging depth for the rear hoe is 14.5 feet deep. The engine is a 4 speed and at top speed the machine tops out at 25 miles per hour. The machine is available in 4wd as well as two wheel drive and weighs in around 15 thousand pounds. The cat Acert C4.4 is a 4 cylinder engine.

6.7L Cummins








 Ram 5500 Municipality




Unlike the In house Powerstroke 6.7L V8 the Cummins 6.7L is an inline 6 cylinder engine. Just like the later 5.9L cummins the 6.7 is a 24 valve as well, and put out in 2007 when it was released 350 horse power and 650 foot lb of torque. At its current update the 6.7 produces 385 horsepower and 865 foot pounds of torque. The main reason for the construction of this engine was in 2007 when all of the new emission laws came out and caused all diesel engines to comply with the new laws, therefore creating all new motors. It would have cost more to modify the old motors compared to building a more powerful and efficent new one.  Another incorporation to this motor was a fuel injected system that reduces noise, vibration, and emissions, but at the same time maximizing performance.
      The 6.7L cummins can be found in Dodge ram 2500 and 3500 series trucks, as well as the dodge ram cab and chassis series. However there are many other trucks that can support this motor. An example is a Ford f650 cab and chassis have come equipped with this engine. One small drawback for the 6.7 when equipped with a manual transmission there is a significant reduction in the torque output.


Diesel Walker









The Diesel Walker GHS (grass handling System) is a premier commercial grass mower for large and small scale companies. A very rugged and tough machine, with precision cutting and the latest diesel technology. The walker D series comes equipped with a kubota 3 cylinder, liquid cooled engine that puts out 21 horsepower. however when the catcher is full of wet grass the machine only gets up to between 7-9 miles per hour. The machine has a self reversing fan which keeps the radiator cool and clean. The diesel walker comes with many available options including a hydraulic automatic high dump which makes the machine capable to lift into the back of a dump truck or barrel for easy clean up. It has three different seat options as well as different mower deck sizes. Most common deck sizes are 48 inches and 52 inches.
