Ranging from 15 to 19tonnes, 5895 New Holland has launched its new B Series PRO generation of wheeled excavators.

Boasting brand new controls, the three new models are said to excel in high precision work, while also being remarkably easy to operate and service.

The B Series PRO wheeled excavators run high performance, large displacement FPT engines delivering high torque and power. This performance is said to be matched by that of the 3-pump hydraulic system, which maximises swing performance with a dedicated swing pump so that no power is diverted from the other hydraulic functions, resulting in greater efficiency and fast cycles. In addition, the large displacement engine and 3-pump system result in less wear, increasing the machine’s reliability.

The electro-hydraulic system has been re-engineered and now relies on a single integrated CPU instead of the three controllers of the previous models, with new software developed to maximise the machine’s uptime and deliver clear diagnostics. The new system and software is said to have successfully completed an extreme testing programme to optimise their performance and reliability.

Available in three lengths for each model, the arm has been redesigned to provide exceptional breakout force, 5% higher than in previous models. The automatic power boost kicks in when more power is needed, increasing pressure up to 370bar. The new design of the B Series PRO optimises weight distribution and minimises the offset of the undercarriage, said to result in exceptional stability and equally high lifting performance at the front and the rear.

The new heavy-duty ZF axles and transmission provide excellent traction and deliver a higher maximum travel speed of 35kph, reducing travel time between jobsites. The heavy-duty axles and higher ground clearance also contribute to the B Series PRO’s reliability and durability.

All the new wheeled loader models main service points are said by New Holland to be grouped and easily accessible at ground level, so that daily maintenance operations can be completed quickly and efficiently. The side-by-side radiator layout results in an extremely reliable cooling performance and makes it easier to clean them. A front net keeps dust away from the radiators, lengthening the interval between cleanings.
