CASE Adds 650M Dozer To M Series Lineup

CASE Construction Equipment's
650M, the latest dozer in the M-Series lineup, replaces and updates
the popular 74-horsepower 650
dozer, with all of the CASE M-Series
hallmarks, plus an enhanced
undercarriage with improved track
frame, idler, sprockets, rollers and
extended-life SALT HD tracks, as
well as a reinforced mainframe.
Like all M-Series dozers, the 650M
comes standard with CASE ProCare
for added uptime protection.
CASE M-Series dozers also
offer best-in-class drawbar pull,
increased horsepower ratings,
improved fuel efficiency, industry-leading visibility, customizable
controls and pressurized isolation-mounted cabs for optimal
comfort.
The CASE 650M dozer delivers
power and productivity through
increased drawbar pull (39,086
pounds) and horsepower rating,
compared to the previous model,
while also reaching Tier 4 Final
compliance. It also features a
hydrostatic drive system, and an
advanced load management that
automatically reduces track speed
(increasing torque) with a heavier
load on the blade, and increases
track speed (reducing torque) with
a lighter load on the blade, ensuring that the machine is working at

optimal power and efficiency.
The 650M utilizes Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) technology,
while maximizing engine horsepower and torque without the need
for adding complication, weight or
regeneration of other systems with
the proven FPT powertrain. There is
no DPF regeneration or associated
lifetime service costs, which helps
maximize uptime and performance
- all with minimal maintenance.
New M-Series Control customizations on the 650M dozer allow
both steering and shuttle sensitivity
to be set at "smooth," "moderate"
or "aggressive." This allows the
operator to adjust machine responsiveness and controls to individual preferences, as well as match
ground conditions. The 650M
controls and hydraulic system
have been calibrated for optimum
performance and efficiency to
build upon the strong legacy of the
650L's performance.
The 650M features a cab-forward design with standard ROPS
canopy. An optional ROPS cab with
floor-to-ceiling, straight-panel
glass doors provides industry-leading visibility down to the blade. A
sloped hood and the positioning
of the operator provide excellent
visibility to the ground in front of
the machine. The optional sealed

and pressurized cab available on
all M-Series dozers helps keep
dust and other materials out of the
operating environment.
Vibration has been reduced over
previous generations with a retuning of both the undercarriage and
the cab mounts. Noise is reduced
over previous generations (down to
73 dBa), helping to reduce operator
fatigue. The new world-class undercarriage not only reduces sound
and vibration found in the cab, it
also features a smaller front idler,
which increases visibility to the
bottom of the blade for fine-grading applications.
Designed to withstand the
harshest operating conditions, the
new M-Series dozers include a redesigned undercarriage with robust
components, a box-style C-frame
built for heavy earthmoving, and
an updated cooling package that
is tested under maintained heavy
load conditions, and designed to
optimize engine and hydraulic
temperatures. The 650M cooling
system was specially tuned and
upgraded to deal with the hash
high-heat applications often
associated with operating dozers
in the 650M size class. Additional
components, such as the cylinders,
electrical system and rippers, were
engineered to last in the toughest

conditions.
All daily service checkpoints -
including hydraulic components,
filters and electrical components
- are accessible from the ground
and do not require hand tools for
access.
The 650M comes with three
popular track configurations and
multiple blade configurations to
allow transport without permits,
while providing optimal flotation
for many applications, as well
as the drawbar pull required for
tough applications. With some of
the deepest grouser teeth in the
industry, and the class-leading
standard clipped grouser teeth, the
650M delivers in both performance
and usability.
All M-Series dozers come
standard with CASE ProCare,
the industry's most complete
factory-provided heavy machine
coverage and uptime assurance
to owners and operators. ProCare
includes a three-year, 3,000-hour,
full-machine factory warranty;
three-year, 3,000-hour, planned
maintenance contract; and a threeyear Advanced CASE SiteWatch
telematics system.
