Wheel Loader Model 1050

 

The 1050 is built with many features that you may never see in any other wheel loader. First, we start with the fully legal compliant Tier 4 Final Diesel Engine from Kohler, a name you know for quality. Tier 4 Standards are now a must as VW found out in the latest 18 Billion Dollar Fine from the EPA. Many Federal, State and Local Contracts call for only Tier 4 Final machinery to be used on their properties as well.

Engine manufacturers have met this standard using a mix of solutions requiring buyers to learn acronyms like SCR (Selective Catalyst Reduction), DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) and processes like Regeneration. All of this means time , money and complexity to most owners. Imagine you are just about to finish loading a customer when a Regeneration cycle cripples your work while the operator cooks in his cab on a summer day while the engine heats particulate matter to 600 degrees (F) for 20-40 minutes burning your precious fuel. Oh, and heaven forbid an exhaust part costing $5,000 breaks in the process. So unless you like stressing about whether you brought your DEF fluid with you, or whether it froze in the cab overnight, consider this:

With Kohler's KDI there is

• NO Diesel Particulate Filter
• NO Diesel Exhaust Fluid
• NO Regeneration Cycles
• Instant Start down to -4 Degrees (F)
• Best Fuel Economy of all 50-60 HP class Diesel Engines
• Engine Protection with Self Preservation Modes

We intentionally tried to overheat engine but it would just throttle down and display warnings to shut down. The engine was run out of diesel and we wanted to know what that process was like. A quick couple of presses on the pump button, about 4, and it started on the first try. This motor purrs like a kitten and if it didn't say diesel on it, you may not even know it.
