Precision Swing, Pistol Grip Improve Control
With the introduction earlier this year of the new B Series backhoe-loaders, New Holland enhanced its pilot-control option with Precision Swing Control. Backhoe boom strength was increased, even as its profile was narrowed to improve the operator's view to the trench. A new pistol-grip controller for the loader's four-in-one bucket improves control. A proportional-flow rocker switch on the handle controls the four-in-one jaw. Air conditioning has been upgraded to provide up to 25 percent more air flow.
Number of models:4
New models:B95, B95LR, B110 and B115
Product-line features:The B95 has the best loader-bucket breakout force among 14-footers, and only Caterpillar's new 420E generates more stick-digging force. The B95's backhoe also outreaches most 14-footers at maximum dump height. The B95LR is the base B95 with the longer stick off the B110, making it a fuel-efficient 15-footer. Both B95 derivatives offer bucket breakout force improved by 8 percent.
