Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL) an-nounced that option part-ner Santa Fe Metals Corp. (TSX-V:SFM) has com-pleted a 2014 exploration activity on EPL’s 100% owned Iron Range project, located near Creston in south-eastern British Co-lumbia. SFM holds the ex-clusive right to earn a 60% interest in the 69,000 ha property. The Iron Range project is considered by Santa Fe and Eagle Plain’s management to hold con-siderable potential for world-class Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) and “Sullivan Style” sedimen-tary exhalative (“SEDEX”) base- and precious-metal mineralization.2014 Program Highlights•Compiled 117 years

of exploration data in a single GIS database (containing: 20,202 soil samples, 585 rock sam-

ples, 4,336 line-km of geophysical data from 7 individual surveys and 80 drill holes totalling of 20,300-m)

• Identified three distinct high-priority target ar-eas (Car, Canyon/Talon and Golden Cap)

•Completed 3-D model-ling for Talon Zone

•Conducted Heavy min-eral concentrate (HMC) sampling over specific target areas

•Acquired additional tenuresA well-developed

transportation and pow-er corridor transects the southern part of the prop-erty, including a high-pressure gas pipeline and a high-voltage hydro-elec-tric line, both of which follow the CPR mainline and Highway 3. The rail line provides efficient ac-cess to the Teck smelter in Trail, B.C., located 80 km

to the west.The Iron Range proper-

ty has a storied past with exploration dating back to 1897 when Cominco and the Canadian Pacif-ic Railway acquired the first crown grants on Iron Mountain to evaluate the potential for an iron ore deposit. Advances in geo-logical modelling have re-vealed that portions of the Iron Range property also have excellent potential to host SEDEX–type depos-its and exhibit many geo-logical similarities to the Sullivan deposit, located 90 km to the north. The Sullivan Mine was discov-ered in 1892 and is one of the largest SEDEX depos-its in the world. Over its 100+ year lifetime, Sulli-van produced almost 300 million ounces of silver, 36 billion pounds of lead, zinc and other associated metals, collectively worth

over $40B at current metal prices. Management cau-tions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Iron Range property.

Drilling at Iron Range in 2010 resulted in the discovery of the Talon Zone, where drill-hole IR10-010 intersected 2 in-tervals of strong and con-tinuous mineralization including 14.0m grading 5.1 g/t gold, 1.86% lead, 2.1% zinc, 75.3 g/t silver and 7.1m grading 8.13 g/t gold, 2.84% lead, 3.07% zinc, 86.6 g/t silver (EPL news release December 21st, 2010). Previous drilling 10km north of the Talon Zone in 2008 by EPL intersected gold min-eralization in drill-hole IR08006, which assayed 7.0m grading 51.52 g/t (1.50 oz/ton) gold.2014 Program/Targeting Highlights:

A Ranking Study com-pleted in 2014 was the first comprehensive and project-wide program to compile and assess all past work on the proper-ty. This led to the recent definition of new drill target areas in this pro-

lific metal mining region. Three areas have been delineated as high-priori-ty exploration targets for both SEDEX base and pre-cious metal mineraliza-tion and IOCG style min-eralization. In addition, one of the three targets is being evaluated for Coeur d’Alene style structurally-hosted base plus precious metal mineralization. In October, 2014, a field pro-gram was conducted on the property which saw the collection of 10 heavy mineral concentrate sam-ples (HMC) over a num-ber of the target areas. All samples were shipped to Overburden Drilling Man-agement (ODM) for pro-cessing. Results from this work are expected to help focus future exploration drilling activity.

A total of 4,900 ha or 49 km2 in additional ten-ures were also acquired in 2014, bringing the total property size to 69,000 ha or 690 km2, which now covers over 57 km strike length of the prospective Iron Range Fault Zone.

2014 exploration work has been completed under the supervision of Mike McCuaig, P.Geo., of Ter-raLogic Exploration Inc.

Iron Range Option Terms

Santa Fe may earn up to a 60% interest in the Iron Range project from Eagle Plains over a five-year pe-riod by incurring $10M in exploration expenditures on the property, transfer-ring 6,000,000 SFM shares to Eagle Plains (1,000,000 shares on signing) and making $500,000 in cash payments.

Eagle Plains will be the operator during the term of the Option. When all of the conditions of the definitive agreement have been met and SFM has exercised the Option, a 60/40 joint venture (“JV”) will be formed to further advance the Project.Update On Hall Lake Project

Bethpage Capital Corp. (TSX-V:BET) has reached an agreement with Ea-gle Plains to amend the terms of the property op-tion agreement entered into on Sept. 16, 2011, whereby Bethpage may earn an undivided 60% interest in Eagle Plains’ 100%-owned Hall Lake property located 30 ki-lometres west of Kim-berley, B.C. Under the

CANADA’S EQUIPMENT LEASING EXPERTS

terms of the original agreement, Bethpage would complete explo-ration expenditures of $3M, make cash pay-ments of $600,000 and is-sue one million common shares to Eagle Plains over a 54-month period. The agreement has been amended to defer cash and share payments due to Eagle Plains in De-cember, 2014, until De-cember, 2015, by issuing 100,000 Bethpage com-mon shares immediately upon regulatory approval

and to increase the ag-gregate share issuance owing to Eagle Plains to 1.1 million common shares.About Eagle Plains Resources

Based in Cranbrook, BC, Eagle Plains contin-ues to conduct research, acquire and explore min-eral projects throughout western Canada. Since 1992, the company has been acquiring and de-veloping early-stage projects utilizing an in-house team of geolo-gists, technicians and

specialists. Considered a prolific project generator with over 50 properties, Eagle Plains invites joint-venture participation to expedite development, reduce risk and enhance exposure to discovery.

Current third-party agreements if maintained to completion will have exposed Eagle Plains to over $35M in exploration expenditures, $3.9M cash and 12M shares in partner companies. Completed agreements have yielded over $27M in exploration spending, $2.0M cash to

Eagle Plains and a total of 22M shares of partner companies

Expenditures from 2011-2013 on Eagle Plains-related projects were approximately $15M, which was funded by Eagle Plains and for the most part, by third-party partners. This ex-ploration work resulted in approximately 15,000m of diamond-drilling and ex-tensive ground-based ex-ploration work facilitating the advancement of more than 23 projects at various stages of development. b

Feds And Ontario Sign New Great Lakes Agreement

New Holland Agri-culture and Construc-tion, a world-leading manufacturer and sup-plier of agricultural and light construction equipment, is now an Official Partner of the Canadian Curling Asso-ciation (CCA) and joins an impressive list of companies as a Partner in support of the CCA’s Season of Champions series of events.

“As a company with national and internation-al reach, New Holland has established itself as a leader in its field, and we couldn’t be happier to come to this agreement,” said Canadian Curling As-sociation Chief Executive Officer Greg Stremlaw. “Having New Holland join the CCA family is another sign of the health and en-thusiasm for the Season of Champions curling event in our country. It is companies such as New Holland that will help our ongoing goal of con-tinuing to build the sport, not just at the champion-

ship level but at affiliated curling centres across the country.”

New Holland is the latest member of a group of corporate partners for the CCA that includes such long-standing part-nerships as Tim Hortons, Kruger Products, M&M Meat Shops, Travelers In-surance, Home Hardware, World Financial Group, Bell Canada, AMJ Camp-bell and DuPont Pioneer.

“New Holland is ex-cited and proud to part-ner with the CCA to sup-port the great sport of curling in Canada,” said Doug Warrener, Director of Growth Initiatives for New Holland, Canada. “Curling remains an ex-citing sport for the Cana-dian audience and more specifically the rural ar-eas where New Holland is a major supplier of ag-ricultural products. We look forward to working with the Canadian Curl-ing Association in their efforts to grow the sport in Canada and around the world.” b

The next generation of Hitachi’s wheeled excava-tor models from Hitachi Construction Machinery – Americas, the ZX190W-5 and ZX230W-5, are rolling out with a certified EPA In-terim Tier 4 (IT4)/EU Stage IIIB Isuzu engine, power mode buttons for three work modes, automatic ex-haust filter cleaning, auto shutdown, an enhanced monitor, centralized re-mote oil/fuel filter location and more.

Mobile and manoeu-vrable, Hitachi’s wheeled excavators sit on a short wheelbase that makes it easy to move in tight spac-es – unlike unwieldy truck-mounted excavators.

“The Dash-5 wheeled excavators are packed with improvements designed to provide more efficient power, greater reliability, enhanced durability and a more comfortable cab envi-ronment,” said Mark Wall, product marketing manag-er at Hitachi Construction Machinery – Americas.

“The two new models are another example of how Hitachi leverages its exca-vator expertise and legacy of meeting demanding mining applications to de-liver an unmatched experi-ence for operators.”

The ZX190W-5 (43,880 lbs.) and ZX230W-5 (51,310 lb.) are powered by a 159 hp, 5.2-liter Isu-zu IT4 engine that uses a rudder frame block design with dry cylinder liners. The four-ring design helps reduce oil consumption and blow-by gases into the crankcase while improving lubrication. In addition, the oil-cooled crown efficiently aids with heat dissipation.

Both machines now fea-ture a Power Dig function, which enables the opera-tor to give extra hydraulic pressure for eight seconds at a time. An Auto Power Lift feature engages when only the boom is raised, giving operators extra lift while craning with no need to push the button.

A new Power Mode

button allows operators to easily select between three work modes. The high power (HP) mode deploys when extra horsepower is needed for rolling in the arm or booming up during excavation work. Economy mode and Power modes can be used to lower the engine RPM and burn less fuel.

The spacious and com-fortable cab comes equipped with an easy-to-navigate enhanced LCD monitor that lets an operator easily access a wealth of machine info and functionality. Other fea-tures include an integrated radio, HVAC, English and metric units and 31 support-ed languages.

The integration of a rear-view camera enhances vis-ibility behind the machine, making it less likely the excavator will be damaged from swinging or backing into objects.

Finally, on both the ZX190W-5 and the ZX230W-5, filters are now conveniently located in the pump compartment for easy and quick servicing.

Hitachi’s next generation wheeled excavators feature a proven IT4 Isuzu exhaust after treatment system.

The engine’s diesel oxi-dation catalyst reacts with exhaust gases to reduce carbon monoxide and hy-drocarbons, and the die-sel particulate filter (DPF) traps particulate matter. In-

cylinder fuel dosing occurs when a certain amount of fuel is injected near the bottom dead centre, close to the exhaust stroke of the four-stroke cycle. The harder the machine is run, the higher the exhaust tem-

perature. This in turn will result in more “Passive” filter cleaning will occur, which does not require fuel dosing. “Auto” filter clean-ing happens as needed but requires fuel dosing to raise DPF inlet temperature. b

In November 2014, key personnel from a diverse mix of equipment dealer-ships convened in Denver for Charter Software’s an-nual ASPEN User Confer-ence. More than 30 equip-ment dealerships from agricultural, construc-tion/industrial, outdoor power, powersports, and golf car sectors attended the conference. The con-ference is an opportunity for dealers using the AS-PEN dealership manage-ment system to exchange best practices, learn new skills, and make their in-dustry’s business needs known to ASPEN’s devel-opers.

The ASPEN system, initially built based on feedback provided by Charter Software custom-ers, is continually updat-ed with new features to accommodate technology advancements, changes in suppliers’ require-ments, and other industry trends. As the conference was scheduled around the latest ASPEN release, us-ers were able to see and learn the latest function-ality in the software prior to implementing it at their business. “Continuing education is essential to maximizing our users’ in-

vestment in ASPEN,” said Charter Software’s Presi-dent Anne Salemo. “When a new release comes out, it is important for our us-ers to learn how to use the new features, and it’s also mutually rewarding to see how we’ve listened to their needs and that the things that they’ve asked for have been implement-ed,” said Salemo. While Charter does provide free webinar trainings to re-view the latest features and updates in each soft-ware release, many users find the in-person training experience offered at the conference to be a valu-able supplement to their overall use of the soft-ware.

In addition to learn-ing about new software features, the conference solidifies proper use of the system by exposing its users to beneficial ways to use the software that they either may not be aware of, or are not currently using. “No matter how well we feel that we are using the software, at the conference, you always find out what you might be able to improve or do differently,” said Marty Buck, CFO, Kern Machin-ery.

While the user sessions are the primary focus of the conference, attendees agree hands-down that the ability to network with other dealers is a unique opportunity that keeps them coming back year after year. Many of the attendees maintain contact with one anoth-er throughout the year to stay apprised of each other’s business practices and use of the software. “Hearing how all the other users use ASPEN and the ways that they approach things has helped us to realize what we need to change and improve,” said Deanna Roos, a fi-nancial administrator at Polar Tech Recreation.

“Networking with other dealers, and being able to talk and work face-t0-face with Charter staff are two of the biggest reasons we believe it is important to hold the conference in-person,” said Stephen Gra-

ham, manager of Charter’s Customer Support depart-ment. “Our conference at-tendees were excited to get an in-person first look at some of the latest enhance-ments to the software, like our re-vamped point of sale screens, mobile applica-tions, and customer portal, and then be able to practice with them hands-on with our trainers and support staff in the ASPEN Lab,” said Graham.

The conference is also a unique opportunity for customers to meet and talk with Charter Software President Anne Salemo, who, in addition to teach-ing several classes, is ac-cessible throughout the entire conference. Salemo also facilitates most of the interactive dealer forums and roundtable sessions where Charter develop-ment staff are on hand to answer dealers’ questions and listen to them voice their needs.

Salemo says that while the conference is a break-even endeavour for the company financially, the company is rewarded in-tangibly. “The User Con-ference is the ideal place for us to get feedback from our customers regarding what they need from us,” said Salemo. “We are al-ways eager to hear what functionality they need to stay competitive,” she says. In this year’s ex-panded roundtable ses-sions, users from each dealership enthusiasti-cally took part in discus-sions to address their spe-cific department’s needs from the ASPEN system, saying that it made them feel empowered. “It’s re-ally phenomenal to have an impact on affecting the whole product,” said Roos of Polar Tech. “I feel like working with Charter is more like having a sup-port system than work-ing with a vendor,” added another first-time confer-ence attendee.

Additionally, due to the software’s growing popu-larity in the golf car sector, a golf-car dealership round-table was added this year to bring to light how the software can assist these dealers with the nuances particular to this industry.

The conference will continue to grow each year as new users attend and seasoned users continue to return to learn more and network with the other us-ers. b

As announced earlier, AB Volvo signed an agree-ment in January 2013 with the Chinese automotive manufacturer, Dongfeng Motor Group Company Limited (DFG), to acquire 45% of a subsidiary of DFG, Dongfeng Com-mercial Vehicles Co., Ltd (DFCV). DFCV includes most of Dongfeng’s opera-tions in heavy-duty and medium-duty commercial vehicles. To implement the transaction, a num-ber of conditions had to be fulfilled, including ap-proval from the Chinese competition authority and other relevant authorities. All approvals have been received. This transaction will significantly strength-en the Volvo Group’s po-sition in medium-duty trucks while the Group will become one of the world’s largest manufac-turers of both medium-du-ty and heavy-duty trucks.

“This strategic alli-ance is a real milestone

and entails a fundamen-tal change in the Volvo Group’s opportunities in the Chinese truck market, which is the largest in the world,” says Volvo’s Pres-ident and CEO, Olof Pers-son. “At the same time, it will provide us with the opportunity to become in-volved in growing DFCV’s international business in a manner that will benefit us and our Chinese part-ner.”

In 2013, DFCV’s pro-forma sales amounted to RMB 35 billion (SEK 37 billion) and the pro-forma operating income to RMB 950 million (SEK 1 bil-lion). The total Chinese market for heavy-duty trucks amounted to about 774,000 vehicles in 2013, while the corresponding figure for the medium-duty truck market was 286,000 vehicles. DFCV had a leading position in both the heavy-duty and medium-duty segments, with sales of 120,600

heavy-duty trucks and 51,000 medium-duty trucks, corresponding to market shares of 15.6 and 17.8%, respectively.

During the first three quarters of 2014, DFCV’s sales amounted to RMB 26 billion (SEK 28 billion) and the operating profit to RMB 1.1 billion (SEK 1.2 billion). During the same period, DFCV sold 85,000 heavy-duty and 31,000 medium-duty trucks. On September 30, 2014, DFCV had a net financial asset of RMB 3 billion (SEK 3.6 billion) (2014 un-audited).

AB Volvo’s ownership in DFCV is expected to be recognized as an associ-ated company and will be consolidated as of Janu-ary 2015 according to the equity method and report-ed in the trucks segment. The payment of the pur-chase consideration will impact the Group’s cash flow and net financial debt in the first quarter of 2015 by approximately SEK 7 billion. However, as the purchase consid-eration has been hedged, the net amount paid for the ownership in DFCV is approximately SEK 5.6 billion. b

Workers wanting to get tasks done more quickly and efficiently won’t have to look any further than the new 2015 four-wheel drive Bobcat 3400 and 3400XL utility vehicles. As a leader in compact equipment, Bobcat Company has launched the new 3400 and 3400XL, with improved suspension systems, new industry-leading features, industry-leading payload and towing, faster travel speeds and more integrated accessories.

Both the 3400 and 3400XL models have a sealed constant veloc-ity transmission and are available with two engine configurations: a 40-horse-power (570 cc) gas engine or a 24-horsepower (1120 cc) diesel engine. The gas and diesel engines provide operators with greater per-formance — up to 40 mph with a dealer-installed kit.

The 3400 and 3400XL gas units provide easier start-up and responsive ac-celeration with an electron-

ic fuel injection system, which adjusts to tempera-ture and altitude changes. The 3400 and 3400XL die-sel units have automatic glow plugs that adjust to colder starting conditions.

Acceleration is not a problem with these vehi-cles, as they can gain speed smoothly and quickly. An ergonomic lever allows 3400 and 3400XL utility vehicle operators to shift between high, low, neutral and park positions. The four-wheel drive system al-lows operators to shift on-the-fly to adjust to chang-ing ground conditions.

For machine protection, both models have a full skid plate, a constant ve-locity shield and an option-al brush guard to protect the undercarriage, engine, transmission and radiator when traveling over rough terrain, logs, rocks and oth-er debris.Improved suspension

New Bobcat 3400 and 3400XL utility vehicles provide both an adjust-

able independent front dual A-arm suspension and an adjustable rear de Dion multi-link suspension system. The new suspen-sion system provides the operator and passengers with a more comfortable ride, tighter turning radius, increased payload capacity and more stability when towing. Each utility vehicle wheel moves independent-ly, keeping all wheels in contact with the ground, for maximum traction.Enhanced style and design

Bobcat Company spent considerable time design-ing the new 3400 and 3400XL models to help minimize installation time to add options and acces-sories to the utility vehi-cles. Bobcat enhanced the models to include modern interior and exterior styl-ing. For example, the util-ity vehicle’s frame has flat-sealing surfaces to ensure a good seal — keeping dirt and water out of the cab — to improve opera-

tor comfort and for uptime protection.

Front and rear windows, a roof, and canvas or hard-sided doors — available on 3400 models — can be easily added and removed, as needed to both models. Once 3400 owners get the hinges installed, the doors simply lift on and off. Own-ers can convert the utility vehicles from an open to an enclosed modular cab in a few minutes.

The 3400 and 3400XL utility vehicles have a rugged cargo box with 1,250-pound payload ca-pacity and a longer cargo box — 7 inches longer than previous models — making it one of the largest cargo boxes in the industry. In-creased payload capacity allows operators to haul more and, in turn, maxi-mize their time while on a jobsite, farm, acreage or grounds maintenance proj-ect.

A durable easy-to-clean composite cargo box fea-tures a single-latch mecha-nism, an integrated fasten-ing system and tie-downs to secure cargo. A standard manual or optional hydrau-lic dump lever is available to easily empty materials from the vehicle’s cargo box. A higher towing ca-pacity also allows the ve-hicle and operator to effi-ciently move materials on a trailer and in the cargo box.Comfortable ride

Although hauling ma-terials and transporting passengers are often the 3400 and 3400XL’s primary function, making sure the operator and passengers are comfortable is another key factor when deciding what machine to purchase. With the 3400 and 3400XL, comfort is easy to come by with standard power steering and tilt steering,

and ample legroom and foot space. New 3400 util-ity vehicles come with a standard three-passenger bench seat with three-point seatbelts for all passengers. The 3400XL utility vehicle has two bench seats that can accommodate up to six passengers. The 3400 and 3400XL models feature large openings for getting in and out of the vehicle, an optional dealer-installed heated cab and a lower step height for ease of use.

Ample storage is im-portant to utility vehicle owners. To better accom-modate utility vehicle pas-sengers, Bobcat has added under-the-seat storage and new storage across the dash to complement the existing glove box. Two 12-volt accessory plug-ins also come standard on both models, allowing operators to conveniently charge a phone, iPod or other mo-bile devices.

Bobcat has incorporated a new liquid-crystal display (LCD) for the 3400 and 3400XL. Operators simply press a button to toggle through the instrumenta-tion screen.

The 3400 and 3400XL utility vehicles will provide an ease of maintenance with durable components and protective parts in-cluding a constant variable transmission (CVT) sealed cover that protects the drive belt used in the CVT and seals the belt from wa-ter and other weather vari-ables.

The fuel tanks on both models are conveniently located, and daily checks of items such as fluids, fil-ters and the battery can all be easily accessed through the machine’s engine com-partment. Water cooled en-gines in the new 3400 and 3400XL allow for easier

and more efficient shut-down protection, keeping the engine cool in the hot-test of days on the jobsite. To help minimize down-time, liquid-cooled engines protect critical engine com-partments from overheat-ing, which also results in more performance and power from the machine, because components are kept cooler at higher rpm.Options and accessories

When it comes to snow and ice removal, the 3400 and 3400XL models have an optional snow blade that connects to the ma-chines with a winch kit. For ground maintenance pro-fessionals, landscapers and homeowners with acreage, a 60-gallon sprayer can be mounted in the machine’s cargo box. The sprayer is ideal for spot weed control and broadcast spraying of liquid fertilizers and chemi-cals.

General purpose tires come standard on the 3400 and 3400XL utility vehicles. ATV/mud, turf and hard surface tires are available through the parts depart-ments at local Bobcat deal-erships, allowing for ease of use on many terrain types. Additional accessories include a 2-inch front re-ceiver, front and rear work lights, radio and speakers, strobe light, backup alarm, a 4,500-pound winch and turn signals.

Cargo box accessories include a divider/extender to separate, protect and transport cargo, or extend the length of box by length of the tailgate; rear window guard to secure cargo that extends above the top of the cargo box; tool holder mount; weather resistant tool box, and chain saw mount to transport a chain saw on the side of the car-go box.b

Two Companies Joined Forces to Provide the Industrywith Rugged Pre-engineered Steel Building Solutions

BUILDINGS FOR MINING


Work still occurs year round, but Mother

Nature and the properties of physics take priority even when the most skilled operator faces the harsh winter elements. Cold weather forces the opera-tors, and the construction industry as a whole, to con-tinue to adapt to keep their machines running.

Paul Pozdyk is the sales manager with Tracks and Wheels Equipment Brokers Inc. His company serves Northern Ontario with loca-tions in Sudbury, Timmins, North Bay, and Sault Ste. Marie. Like cars and trucks, he says that the majority of heavy construction equip-ment is built and sold in a warmer climate. He says that CASE builds an excel-lent grader that is manufac-tured in Brazil, but it arrives with a thicker hydraulic oil. “If that machine comes in here and it’s minus 25° Cel-sius, we don’t even start it on the float — we pull the truck right into the shop and start it in three days,” Pozdyk says. “You get a hy-draulic oil that turns to the consistency of grease [in cold temperatures], and it’s in a quarter-inch line, and that pump tries to pump it, it’s going to blow it right off the machine.”

Richard Coulas, Director of Training and Operations for the Operating Engi-neers Training Institute of

Ontario (OETIO), agrees. “The cold causes oil to lose its viscosity and lead to improper lubrication and therefore premature wear on components,” he says. “Thicker oil can affect the valve body’s ability to open and close. Granular materi-al and debris when frozen can create excessive wear on parts.” All of which can lead to the machine mal-functioning and lost time.

Pozdyk says that when he started in the heavy equipment business 25 years ago, it was common to spray volatile ether gas into the intake to ignite the diesel fuel. Glow plugs were then invented to warm the fuel as it entered the engine block. And today, machines can come equipped with a grid heater on the intake that warms the air going into the engine. The development of synthetic oils is also an in-novation to help maintain proper viscosity.

As the training provider for the almost 14,000 mem-bers of the International Union of Operating Engi-neers Union across Ontario, Coulas has about 48 pieces of equipment operating ev-ery day, equipment that includes bulldozers, exca-vators, tractor loader back-hoes, and graders. He says that there are a number of best practices operators can employ in inclement weath-er. Strategies include pre-

heating the engine before starting, warming the ma-chines up before operating at full capacity, and cycling the hydraulics slowly to avoid shocking the system. Coulas also says that prop-er training and following manufacturer procedures is critical. “There are several experienced operators in the industry that can’t perform proper pre-ops and post-ops,” he says. “Company-based training in regards to pre- and post-ops is rare. Most companies measure results based on production, and teaching machine pro-cedure is low on the list.”

And even the manufac-turers and dealers do what

they can to serve Canada’s frozen population. Pozdyk says that CASE offers buyers a cold-climate package that the dealer installs after ar-rival. The package includes lighter oil or an electric hydraulic oil warmer. But sometimes someone buys a big excavator they need to run at minus 50 degrees Celsius that needs to be properly equipped. “There is always something you can do, but [the machines] come in as original equipment not to be expected to operate in any worse conditions than you would your car or your truck,” he says.

And whether the ma-chine is an excavator, wheel

loader, backhoe, or skid steer, winter conditions demand the expertise of a skilled and experienced op-erator. Adam Pinder, man-ager of the Sault Ste. Marie Construction Association, says that the cold makes work a bit more complicat-ed, a situation that requires an added level of skill from an experienced operator. “When you get into heavy frost, you need to under-stand how to properly oper-ate a hoe ram, and what the best techniques are to ex-cavate,” Pinder says. “You look for people who are experienced in that, or you partner them up with expe-rienced operators, to teach

the techniques.”The bottom line re-

mains: well-trained oper-ators who maintain their machines, follow proper procedures, and employ good judgment will be the most successful performing their duties during the win-ter. “It’s a slow process, and you will get to some temperatures where you’re going to try [to warm the machine up and move slowly] and you are never going to hear the noise go away,” Pozdyk says. In these circumstances, “it’s time to turn the key, go in, make yourself a pot of soup, sit down, and tomor-row’s a new day.” b

Surviving The ColdCanada is geographically synonymous with cold, snow, and ice, and it’s no secret that the country’s construction industry experiences a considerable slow down during the winter months. By Mark Wolfe

It’s often said that qual-ity beats quantity. Over the years, utility contractors have started to realize the truth behind that statement due to the benefits of hav-ing one machine with in-creased versatility on the jobsite instead of multiple machines.

In order to achieve that versatility, more and more attachments are be-ing made available to the construction market every year. The backhoe loader, an invaluable jack-of-all-trades, has the capability to run a variety of attach-ments such as brooms, grapples and 4-in-1 buck-

ets.What are the must-have

attachments for utility con-tractors? Here’s what we suggest to get you started.Getting Started With Hydraulics

For starters, it’s impor-tant to note that hydraulics harness the power behind a backhoe’s operation, and

advances in auxiliary hy-draulics have expanded the attachment capabilities of these machines.

There are three kinds of auxiliary hydraulics in back-hoes: unidirectional hydrau-lics, bidirectional hydraulics and auxiliary hydraulics for attachments mounted to the loader end of the machine. Bidirectional hydraulics provide the most flexibility to run attachments because hydraulic power flows two ways. Unidirectional auxil-iary hydraulics are for run-ning attachments with one-way hydraulic flow, such as

breakers and compactors. A combination hydraulics set-up is ideal as owners can then switch back and forth between unidirectional and bidirectional as needed.

By adding hydraulics to one or both ends of the machine, contractors can save money and give themselves more flexibility with their backhoes than they’ve ever had.Breaking Down the Selection

The top attachments for utility contractors are ham-mers/breakers. As utility lines are being installed or replaced, there’s usually asphalt or concrete in the way. And many areas of the country feature hard and rocky soils. Contrac-tors need an attachment that will get the job started.

Hammers require uni-directional hydraulics. However, it’s important for contractors to know that, if you have a bidirectional hydraulic selection on a hammer, it’s crucial to at-tach to a return-to-tank drain line (if equipped) or else you can ruin the seals within the hammer.

Another backhoe at-tachment that is important for utility contractors is a tiger tooth or frost tooth. Tiger teeth are more appli-cable for areas with harder soil, while frost teeth help break through difficult frost in more northern climates.

The attachment is a hardened steel tooth that resembles a hook at the end of the backhoe. It can help contractors scrape the edges of a trench to make sure there are no protrud-ing rocks; can help clean up the trench; and can break through difficult ground conditions.

Tampers/compactors are another very impor-tant attachment in utilities because of the amount of new pipe laying taking place. Generally, tampers are used for more shallow trenches to solidly compact the foundation to prevent movement/ground up-heaval.

Tamper attachments run on unidirectional hy-draulics and are available in a variety of sizes. De-pending on the work being done, the tamper is typical-ly lined up with the bucket being used. For example, if you use an 18-inch bucket, you’ll use a 12- or 18-inch tamper. Where applicable, they also provide logistical advantages over indepen-dent trench rollers.

Hydraulic thumbs are universal attachments that are important to have due to their flexibility. If a contractor is breaking up concrete with a breaker, a thumb makes it easier to clean up the area.

Rigid thumbs are sta-tionary attachments, with the bucket coming up to the thumb, which elimi-nates the flexibility of the hydraulic thumb. For ex-ample, you might not be able to fully curl the bucket to pick up a piece of con-crete, or it could fall be-fore it actually catches the thumb. Being able to bring the thumb down is a huge benefit.

However, buckets are still the most common at-tachment, with bucket sizes ranging from 12- to 36-inches. These are also the most common attach-ment on the loader side of a backhoe loader. For-tunately, there are a large variety of buckets such as grapples and 4-in-1 buck-ets to increase versatil-ity. Another important at-tachment on the front is a broom for cleaning up the jobsite upon completion.

Attachments expand the versatility of your equip-ment and add a level of flexibility to your fleet. By utilizing several attach-ments on backhoe loaders, and making sure to match the right tool the job, con-tractors are able to com-plete utility installation and repair jobs from start to finish with the power of a single machine. b

Rail technology leader Bombardier Transporta-tion won an order to sup-ply 42 Regio 2N train sets to the Syndicat des Trans-ports d’Ile-de-France (STIF) and SNCF. This order for 42 double-deck trains is an additional order in the framework of an ongoing contract signed in 2010 and is val-ued at approximately 397 million euro ($484 mil-lion US). Delivery of the new trains will start from September 2017 and the trains will operate on Line R of the Parisian subur-ban network.

The STIF and SNCF se-lected the long eight-car suburban Regio 2N ver-sion from the BOMBAR-DIER OMNEO platform of extra-wide double-deck electrical multiple units (EMU).

The 110m-trains will have five seats in each row, two seats on one side of the corridor and three seats on the other, in or-der to offer more seating capacity compared to conventional double-deck trains. The Regio 2N trains are designed to op-erate with three units cou-pled together, enabling it to transport a total of 3,120 passengers of which

1,746 passengers can trav-el seated.

Passengers will appre-ciate seats with arm rests and electrical sockets, wide windows, indirect lighting, a “tube”-style ar-chitecture for more trans-parency and security. A modern information system with sound and screens will keep passen-gers well informed and the intelligent air condi-tioning system will adjust according to the number of passengers on board.

All doors provide level access from 55 centimetre station platforms. Two cars in each train set are equipped for persons with reduced mobility, with an automatically operated ramp and two areas for wheelchairs. The Regio 2N complies one hundred percent with European ac-cessibility standards (TSI PRM).

The eight 1.6 metre ac-cess doors and the wide gangways of 2.3 metres will ease the flow of pas-sengers boarding and leav-ing the train to optimize stopping time in stations. The passenger alarm and the automatic door shut-ting management system, a tailor-made solution for Ile-de-France operations

and successfully proven with the Francilien fleet, will contribute to the punctuality of the service. The Regio 2N innovations also bring benefits in terms of operational costs with energy savings of about 20% per passenger thanks to BOMBARDIER ECO4 technologies such as the BOMBARDIER MI-TRACPermanent Magnet Motor, the electrical en-ergy reuse during braking and a light steel structure.

The Regio 2N fleet of-fers substantial main-tenance optimization, resulting from the joint cooperation with SNCF experts. These trains will benefit from economies of scale of a platform widely spread out in ten Regions, including Ile-de-France.

“Bombardier is delight-ed with this breakthrough order for Ile-de-France and Paris suburban net-work which is a confirma-tion of the benefits that the Regio 2N fleet can bring in terms of operat-ing costs, comfort and seating capacity,” said Jean-Baptiste Eymeoud, Vice President Projects, Western Europe, Bombar-dier Transportation.

The Regio 2N train belongs to the new BOM-

BARDIER OMNEO dou-ble-deck train platform. The Bombardier teams in its Crespin site in the North of France have de-signed it to meet a wide range of needs. The ver-sion selected by the STIF for line R will benefit from all the SNCF and Bombar-dier expertise in Ile-de-France trains. Today, Line H, which is fully operated with a Francilien fleet, is the most punctual line of the SNCF Transilien net-work in Greater Paris.

As the Regio 2N is modular, it is possible to select from five train lengths from 81m to 135m, speed of 160 km/h or 200 km/h, interior con-figurations for suburban, regional or intercity ser-vices and from over 200 interior design options. The OMNEO premium version has been designed to meet the needs of inter-city services for the Trains d’Equilibre du Territoire (Balance of the Territories Trains) government pro-gramme.• With a capacity of 1,000

passengers, the subur-ban version of the Re-gio 2N train is perfectly adapted for commuter transportation,

• An extra-wide articulat-ed suburban train which combines seating ca-pacity, accessibility and comfort,

• Performance, energy savings and mainte-nance benefits for the operator. b

Case Construction Equipment’s dozers and 1221F wheel loader have been named two of the 2014 “Top RollOuts” by Aggregates Manager maga-zine. The list is compiled by the magazine staff, which reviews product in-troductions from the past year and picks the top 25 to feature.

The M Series fea-tures five models that range from 92 to 214 net horsepower with operat-ing weights from 21,500 to 48,800 pounds. The engines have SCR-only emissions-reduction tech-nology and save up to 14 percent in fuel, while in-creasing efficiency by 19 percent. The dozers have

best-in-class horsepower and drawbar pull (depen-dent on model), reduced noise, industry leading visibility, new versatile controls, and more.

The 1221F, the larg-est model in the F-Series wheel loader line, features an 11.9-liter Tier 4 Interim-certified engine that deliv-ers up to 370 horsepower. The loader is built for heavy earthmoving and loading applications such as those encountered in ag-gregate and mining opera-tions. Enhancements to the engine and transmission at maximum travel speed allow for increases in pro-ductivity of at least 18 per-cent and fuel efficiency of at least 8 percent. b

CASE M Series dozers, 1221F Wheel Loader Named “top Roll Outs”


Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. has decided to construct a hydraulic excavator pro-duction factory in South Carolina. The new fac-tory will be incorporat-ed into its North Ameri-can subsidiary, Kobelco Construction Machinery U.S.A. Inc. (“KCMU”) which already operates in North America. With this factory construc-tion, KCMU will be reor-ganized into a company with integrated produc-tion and sales.

After concluding an official purchase agree-ment for the planned construction site, Kobel-co will begin site prepa-ration in April 2015, construct a building, install machines and equipment, and com-plete the construction in December. Mass pro-duction of the 20t model is expected to begin in

January 2016. The site area will be approxi-mately 85 acres. Initial-ly the plant will have an annual production capacity of 1,800 units but the company plans to sequentially increase the menu and produc-tion in accordance with market development.

The target share in North America under the current medium-term management plan whose final year is the fiscal year 2015 is 7 per-cent or higher. Howev-er, by taking advantage of local production, Ko-belco hopes to enhance service functions further and reinforce founda-tion in North American market by improving after-sales activities in-cluding parts sales. Ac-cording to the company, the move will also serve to increase the presence of Kobelco’s hydraulic

excavators, and put a group-wide effort into regaining a 10 percent share in North America that the company had before it formed an alli-ance with CNH.

Having a production site in North America will allow Kobelco to not only to reduce the production lead-time of machineries for North American customers and improve capability for meeting the market needs, but also reduce operational burden on the Hiroshima Itsu-kaichi Factory and build an optimal group-wide production system.Background and Purpose

Kobelco Construc-tion Machinery reen-tered the U.S. market in 2013. KCMU aggres-sively put effort into rebuilding a distribu-tion network, and as of

December, 2014, they have concluded a dealer agreement with a total of 62 companies, 52 in North America and 10 in South America and been smoothly recover-ing sales and share.

The entire volume was being shipped from the Hiroshima Itsu-kaichi Factory in Japan at the beginning of the reentry. However, mar-ket development has been proceeding at a faster rate than expect-ed and the Itsukaichi Factory keeps its fullest production capacity and has no further available capacity. Kobelco has decided to manufacture standard hydraulic ex-cavators for the U.S. in North America because capacity shortage is ex-pected sooner or later due to the market devel-opment speed. The Hi-roshima Itsukaichi Fac-tory has been operating at a production level of 10,500 units which sig-nificantly exceeds the current production ca-pacity of 8,500 units. However, further pro-duction increase is lim-ited, and prevention of opportunity loss was a major issue. Even after the production of the standard models for the U.S. is transferred to KCMU, the Hiroshima Itsukaichi Factory is expected to maintain a full production to ac-commodate the expan-sion of newly developed areas centering on Eu-rope and the Middle and Near East.

As for the production menu, standard mod-els of heavy excavators for North America have been planned. Special machines and mini ex-cavators will continue to be supplied from Ja-pan.About the Site

The planned con-struction site is located near major highways (I-26 and I-85) and has excellent access to Charleston Harbor which is a major do-mestic and North Amer-ican harbor as well as to Savannah Harbor in Georgia, a neighboring state. Moreover, there is a strong manufactur-ing industry in the area with automobile manu-facturers and aviation industry manufacturers present. b

Kobelco to Build Excavators In South Carolina Yanmar Agriculture

Equipment is delighted to announce the recent dona-tion of an Lx4500 tractor to Bald Eagle Boys Camp in central Pennsylvania. This organization was nominat-ed to receive this donation by its local Yanmar dealer, Rovendale Ag and Barn.

Bald Eagle Boys Camp, located in Mill Hall, Penn-sylvania, is a wilderness camp that provides trou-bled boys with a safe place to work through their prob-lems and lead them to a behavioural, physical and emotional sense of whole-ness. Nestled on 520 acres of beautifully wooded mountain land, the camp facilities consist of an of-fice, dining hall, warehouse and staff housing. Camp-ers and counsellors live at secluded campsites in tent cabins that they build and maintain themselves.

Yanmar has long been committed to celebrating individuals and organi-zations alike who share

the company’s passion for the land. In fact, the company’s mission state-ment reads, “We strive to provide sustainable solu-tions for needs which are essential to human life. We focus on the chal-lenges our customers face in food production and harnessing power, thereby enriching people’s lives for all our tomorrows.” Keith Wainwright, Business Unit Manager for the Agricul-ture Equipment Division commented, “Bald Eagle Boys Camp is the perfect example of an organiza-tion using the land and resources around them to create a better world, and we are proud that we were able to donate a tractor, so that they can continue to change lives.”

The dedication cer-emony for the new tractor in which a Yanmar repre-sentative handed over the keys was held at the camp on Friday, December 19, 2014. b

yanmar donates to Pennsylvania Non-Profit Organization

Glencore has completed the sale of its 75% interest in the Donkin Coal Project to Kameron Collieries, a subsidiary of the US-based Cline Group.

Canadian mining explo-ration and development company Morien Resourc-es, which owns a 25% in-terest in Donkin, seeks to advance the project under the new arrangement with Kameron.

Located within 30km of a deep-water port, Donkin Coal Project in Nova Scotia has received environmen-tal assessment approvals from the federal and pro-vincial governments.

The Donkin project may employ around 300 people and produce close to 3.6 million tonnes of coking and thermal coal annually, probably from longwall and continuous mining op-erations.

The project is expected to have a lifespan of 30 years and involves the de-velopment of a coal deposit in North America.

Since 2006, Glencore and Morien have invested $43m in the fully permitted Donkin Coal Project and its reopening has been in the works for eight years.

In the 1980s, former federal Crown company Devco dug the necessary tunnels for the project, but it was abandoned before the mine opened due to a decline in coal prices.

In July, the project re-ceived approval from Nova Scotia Environment Minis-ter Randy Delorey.

Coal has been mined in the Sydney coal basin since the early 1860s. b

What started as an im-promptu friendly competi-tion has now become one of the most anticipated events at the World of Concrete trade show. For the seventh year, Wacker Neuson will host its an-nual Trowel Challenge competition during the show, Feb. 3-6, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nev. Each year Wacker Neuson creates an obstacle course on a 2400 square foot concrete slab at their WOC booth (#O31708). Concrete fin-ishers are invited to test their skills as they ma-noeuvre a 48-inch, ride-on trowel through the

timed course. The top 10 finishers of the qualify-ing rounds will meet for the final championship on Thursday, Feb. 5, 2015. Once again, Wacker Neu-son will award the fast-est finisher with a grand prize custom 48-inch CRT 48-35VX ride-on trowel powered by a special Van-guard BIG BLOCK V-twin engine.

While the Trowel Challenge draws the crowds and creates ex-citement, attendees are also invited to learn more about the industry’s larg-est, most diverse line of concrete trowels.

For over 25-years, Wacker Neuson has been a manufacturer of walk-behind models designed for professional results, comfort and safety. As safety continues to be para-mount concern for jobsites, Wacker Neuson’s walk-behind models offer a pat-ented design to provide ex-tra protection from an out of control spinning trowel handle. When the operator lets go handle, a gyroscopic safety sensor detects the motion of the handle and stops the engine before the handle reaches a 45-degree rotation. This engages the gearbox brake which will stop the handle rotation within a 270-degree rota-tion. This proven system is the industry’s best way to protect the operator form being struck by a runaway handle. b

Yanmar America, a leader in the marine indus-try, is pleased to announce the introduction of its new EPA Tier III compliant commercial marine diesel engine. Rated at 755 mHP and 1900 RPM, the new 20.38-liter 6AYAM-ET uses a fully mechanical control system for easy servicing and reliable performance.

The four-cycle, in-line six-cylinder 6AYAM-ET of-fers several key features and benefits that make it a top choice for commercial vessel operators. First, the torque characteristics allow for stable cruising with the least amount of speed re-

duction even with sudden load changes. The engine also offers its globally ac-claimed low fuel consump-tion and a continuous rat-ing suitable for river push boats, tugboats, trawlers and other applications with uninterrupted operations or load cycles. Plus, a 500-hour service interval aided by a purpose-built marine de-sign featuring a long stroke, water cooled exhaust mani-fold, special coated liner and nodular cast iron piston with coated piston rings assure minimum downtime to keep vessels on the water and out of the shop.

To comply with emis-

sions regulations, the 6AYAM-ET uses an inter-nal exhaust gas recircula-tion (EGR) system. This design does not require any external control devices or significant engine structure changes. In addition, the micro-sized multiple holes in the all-new injectors pro-duce an even finer fuel mist, which combined with a unique combustion cham-ber, consistently produce more power while also low-ering exhaust emissions and fuel consumption.

In addition to the engine, YANMAR also supplies orig-inal marine gears that can be adapted to a wide range of applications for better per-formance and easier main-tenance.

As with all YANMAR commercial engines, this new engine is approved by leading Marine Class Societies. b
