Greater breakout force for aggressive digging

These 57-net-hp, compact, rubber-tracked machines have a suspended undercarriage which transfers machine weight to the ground through 24 wheeled contact points bearing against 59 inches (1499 mm) of track on ground for very low ground pressure. The 247B and 257B have operating capacities of 1,950 pounds (885 kg) and 2,310 pounds (1047 kg), at 50 percent tipping load, respectively. They offer significantly greater breakout forces than their predecessors for aggressive digging capabilities. The 247B has radial lift linkage, and the 257B features vertical lift linkage for improved loading and materials handling capabilities.
