Caterpillar’s New Automated Grade Controls Usher in More Efficient Excavators | 0209-11205

John Deere says the absolute and relative slope readouts provide enhanced information to the operator for specific applications, and the absolute value readout is useful for providing information during general grading applications that do not need a local grade reference. The relative value readout, the company says, is well suited for operators looking to alter grade relative to an existing or reference guide.

Cradling the blanket-wrapped pup, we sought advice from Abby’s brilliant "doggy midwife", Karen Stanton (formal title: "Guide Dogs Brood Bitch Supervisor"), who visited the litter every few days to check their welfare. Her verdict: hand-feed the puppy every two hours with a syringe or a baby-style bottle, and a special formula milk.

“The most common mistake is selecting a trenching bucket that is too large for the excavator,” says Lee Smith, excavator product specialist, Doosan Construction Equipment. “Some excavator owners think a bigger bucket will increase productivity. However, that is not always the case.”

Carlos Diego Ferreira has gone 4-2 in the UFC and is on a two fight winning streak, he’s looking to take a crack at a top twenty or so opponent with another win here. Kyle Nelson took this fight on very short notice but does have a six fight winning streak to his name, suffice it to say a win here would be the biggest of his career. Given the short notice nature of this fight it’s no surprise that Ferreira is a big -550 favorite to a +400 payout for Nelson.

The company says the stump puller is also compatible with Solesbee’s quick coupler, and they offer a two-year warranty on all products.

ogies for use with excavators. One result is the choice of Grade Assist (an indicate system) and 2D and 3D machine control. That much is fairly standard in the industry. What makes the Kobelco/Trimble design unique is the use of gyroscopic sensors instead of in-cylinder sensors and surface-mounted position sensors. These gyroscopic senso

Elias Theodorou has a stellar overall UFC record of 7-2 and is currently on a two fight winning streak, he’s looking to defend his top fifteen spot and earn a shot at someone ranked above him next. Eryk Anders was through of as a top prospect but that seems to have cooled a bit recently, he’s just 1-2 in his last three fights and is coming off of a loss to Thiago Santos. Anders is trying to avoid his first ever losing streak and move back into the top fifteen rankings. The odds are close but lean towards Theodorou at -130 against an even +100 on Anders.

Brooks made the point that Liebherr excavators benefit from the company’s long experience in the crane industry. The R 920, he told us, has standard safety check valves (burst-protection valves) in both the boom and stick circuits, and a load-holding valve for the bucket circuit is an option. Also reflecting the company’s crane expertise, he said, is an optional overload-warning system, as well as systems that limit boom travel (advantageous in low-overhead situations, he said) and that limit stick travel (preventing contact with the cab, especially when large buckets are used).

Jedrzejczyk could have taken the 4th I guess, but a solid fight from Shevchenko overall and she gets an interview. She says she’s been working for this for a long time, calls over her sister to stand with her and puts over her entire team for all the work they’ve done to get her to this point. She thanks everyone who has been a part of her journey to this moment, thanks her native Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Peru. Asked about her conditioning she puts over Jedrzejczyk for being a professional and ensuring the fight would take place and she’s honored to have won the title against an opponent of Jedrzejczyk’s caliber. She speaks Spanish to her friends and family in Peru, then does her own translation to Russian for her fans in that part of the world. That is a ridiculously talented woman.
