The cab offers an unobstructed view to both edges of the bucket or attachment, while a wide window and the sloping engine cover provide excellent visibility to the rear. The Case B series Motor Graders This series feature an FPT Industrial 6.7-liter engine with triple horsepower ranges on the 865B model and dual horsepower on the 845B to match the power requirements of various applications and deliver optimum fuel efficiency. These provide superior operator control, visibility and comfort. Their controls are positioned within easy reach, and cab position provides the best view to the blade and other ground-engaging equipment. Consistent with the Case tradition of easy serviceability, the B Series motor graders feature a flip-up hood for easy engine compartment access. The machine design also incorporates the Case hallmark ground-level access to daily service checkpoints for quick and efficient maintenance. The 9-tonne Case 752 Vibratory Compactor The compactor with water cooled engine will benefit customers with the engine's longer life and lower fuel consumption.
