“So these machines have the maneuverability required to allow you to work on congested jobsites and in tight areas,” Schaefer adds.

It’s a great tool for increasing productivity and reducing operator fatigue at the same time.”Īnother nice feature the PowerStat system gives K-series dozers is full counter-rotation. And that straight tracking doesn’t vary by load. In essence, the electronics control the dozer so precisely that wherever you position the machine, that’s where the machine will go without any additional operator input. “It’s an electronically controlled hydrostatic system with a straight-tracking control feature. “This hydrostat drive was specifically designed for our new K-series dozer line,” Schaefer explains. The result was a new Case-designed hydrostatic-drive system. According to Rusty Schaefer, marketing manager, that meant looking at hydrostatic drive systems in a whole new way.
And Case customers were clear on that point as well: If the company was going to introduce a hydrostatic drivetrain for its dozers, then it was essential that PowerTurn capability be retained. Hydrostatic drive dozers have become the norm, but Case Construction Equipment engineers were unconvinced that hydrostatic powertrains could provide contractors with Case’s traditional strength: its PowerTurn steering system, which allows operators to carry a full blade of dirt through a direction change.
