New Holland D-Series mini excavators built in-house

New Holland Construction has brought the design and manufacturing of D-Series mini excavator line fully in-house. The result, it said, is a more capable, versatile machine tailored for construction crews, landscapers, utility contractors and municipalities looking to do more with a compact framework.

The new models will incorporate zero tailswing, long arm options, the choice of steel or rubber tracks and a two-way or six-way blade with standard float function for flexibility across industries and operating environments. All models can run an array of attachments and are available with factory-installed couplers, buckets and thumbs.

The 9,590-lb. E42D and 10,912-lb. E50D – the first models in the series – are powered by a Stage V-certified FPT D1803 engine and provide dig depths (with mono boom) of 10 ft. 1 in. and 10 ft. 11 in., respectively, and bucket breakout force of 9,667 lbf. Fuel-saving features on all D Series models include Eco Mode, auto idle and a reversible cooling fan.

The E42D and E50D also come equipped with dual auxiliary hydraulic lines and an optional third high-flow line for powering energy-intensive tools like mulchers with precise flow control through the cab’s interface.

The cab includes a fabric pneumatic suspension seat with automatic weight control, height-adjustable armrests, LED lights, manual or automatic climate control, plus six directional vents and intuitive joystick-mounted controls that move with the seat. A 7-in. color LCD display provides real-time feedback on coolant and hydraulic oil temperatures, fuel levels, engine RPM, machine hours and DPF regeneration status.

Additional cab features include:

• a rearview camera
• control cut-out lever
• manual/auto idle settings

For serviceability, the D-Series line comes with a tipping cab/canopy for full hydraulic system access, as well as three large side and rear panels that offer fast access to key service points. A free five-year telematics subscription for remote monitoring of machine health, diagnostics and service needs comes standard.
