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.

John Deere 320D

2013 John Deere 320D

The John Deere 320D skid steer, is a compact machine used for loading, clearing, leveling ground, and has a wide variety of attachments that are available. The 320D is equipped with John Deere's Powertech 4024 Ht Diesel Engine. The Compact powertech puts out 63 horsepower at 2300 rpm Combined with 170 foot lb of torque for lifting heavy weight as well as pushing power. Another great feature about this machine is the 2 speed transmission ground speed, which is a great thing to have when you have the long hauls and need the speed to throw it into two speed. On the other hand when precision movement is needed the single speed gets the job done. Another feature that comes standard in the 320D is the creep mode with just the flick of a switch the driver controls become very sensitive and do not jog the machine around with just the smallest maneuver of the joysticks

The 5.9 Cummins

       Above is a Dodge 5.9L 12 valve, Was featured on @RiDiesels Instagram page

          The 5.9L cummins diesel came in 2 variations the first was the 5.9L cummins 12v or valve introduced in dodge pickups in 1989 and was up until it was replaced by the 24 valve 5.9L cummins in 1998. The 12 valve was an inline 6 cylinder engine that was much better on fuel compared to gas guzzling V8's. This engine was used in light and medium duty pickup and work trucks, as well as agricultural and even construction machinery. A major plus with the engine was that its reduced size and compact made it very indestructible. However a dowel pin in the engine block that overtime could potentially come out of its hole would be a major problem for the motor as it would cause catastrophic engine failure.
         The 5.9L 24 valve which was introduced in 1998 had a much higher output of horsepower and reliability. And with the 4 overhauls up until 2007 the motor gained just under 100 horsepower and 150 foot lb of torque. This was also a 6 cylinder motor and was not too problematic until 2007 when the emissions were passed and the 6.7 cummins was introduced.

6.6 Duramax

 (Pictured 2015 Chevy 2500 hd High Country)

The 6.6L Duramax Diesel engine can be found in both Gmc and Chevy trucks. The 6.6 diesels was introduced in 2001 and duramax has put out 5 variations of the engine since its launch in 2001.
The five engines are as follows

-6.6L Duramax LB7 Available 2001-2004
-6.6L Duramax LLY Available 2004-2006
-6.6L Duramax LBZ Available 2006-2007
-6.6L Duramax LMM Available 2007.5-2010
-6.6L Duramax LML Available 2011- Current

A Big part in the Success of Chevy and Gmc's Duramax engines is the pairing of the Allison 1000 transmission. It has been the only transmission used since 2001 and although it was offered in manual 6 speed but was phased out in the year 2007. this was only due to the transmissions popularity and the need was no there to produce a manual. All of the 6.6 duramax's are V8's, and as of 2007 both the LMM and the LML are post emissions meaning that they run cleaner and are equiped with a DOC, DEF injector, DPF as well as others.

Duramax Puts out A 6.6L V8 LGH motor which can be found in cab and chassis, or commonly known as dump trucks, box trucks, and other utilities. All of these engines can be found in Chevy and Gmc 2500, 3500 hd, as well as c4500 and c5500
