With the AutoFeed II system, when the engine pulls down to a certain rpm, it stops the feeding, allows the engine to get back up to high idle and then continues the cutting operation. A newcomer to the market, EarthForce America, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Superstav s.r.o. of the Czech Republic. In 1998, Superstav severed ties with Mitusi Machinery, which had been selling its mini-backhoes under the Predator brand name for a few years. Soon after, EarthForce began distributing Superstav''s new product line, which includes eight medium-sized TLBs with power ratings ranging from 25 to 68 hp. The EarthForce machines offer such features as four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, mechanical gearboxes, sideshift capability and heated safety glass cabs. At Intermat this month, the company was to unveil a new 68 hp model hydraulicandfireandpumpandsimulator EF-5 with a four-speed synchroshuttle transmission. "One of the customers we have is reworking a golf course. The golf course manager has a skid-steer for doing some of the dirt work they need to do, but he can never take it out on the course because they don''t want to damage the grass. With A220 hydraulicandfireandpumpandsimulator he can follow hydraulicandfireandpumpandsimulator the cart hydraulicandfireandpumpandsimulator path, turn and go out where he needs to without disturbing the sod."There are many other applications hydraulicandfireandpumpandsimulator we are looking at. Such hydraulicandfireandpumpandsimulator as, airports might look at this for snow removal. They''ve got big machines for the runways, but they could use something smaller in and around the gate areas. There are many other markets where the standard skid steer loader has seen limited duty before. The A220 allows us to pursue those markets more solidly."
