The new D-Series includes pilot-operated joystick controls for the backhoe on every 420D and 430D. These controls are similar to hydraulic excavator controls, making the system easier to learn unibor and use by operators while allowing smooth mini drill press efficient press operation, according to caterpillar. the 420d and 430d integrated tool carriers utilize full pilot control of all hydraulic unibor functions while the 416d only uses low effort pilot hydraulic stabilizer controls. drill "there are three main benefits to the new pilot control hydraulic systems," said carman. "lever effort is reduced and machine control is more precise, allowing operators to be more efficient. the new joystick control layout provides improved operator ergonomics and also greater visibility of the backhoe itself, allowing the operator to better see the digging."

the group also declared that orlando, fla., would serve as the only location for future shows. the change in date and location will take effect in 2009 and will run through 2017. nafem executives said the decision would help foodservice operators with their planning cycles and needs.the group''s customer advisory task force, which represents more than 70 percent of the multiunit operators in north america, said shifting the show to the first quarter of the year would allow them not only to plan better but press also to incorporate what they learn into their operations.

"it was just a strange unibor thing that happened," ocean view police chief kenneth mclaughlin told the news-journal, "a very, very unfortunate accident." the young carpenter died at the peninsula regional medical center in salisbury, md., after being evacuated by helicopter.a nail-gun accident in mississippi had a happier outcome, reports the biloxi sun-herald. stone county, drill miss., contractor duncan hatten was crouching down to nail a 2x4 block onto a column when he lost his balance and fell against the nail gun, which fired two quick nails into his heart. "i just figured i was gonna press die," hatten told local tv station wlox. "i told my coworker to tell my family that i loved them." but the two framing spikes had narrowly missed major blood vessels, and surgeons were able to remove the nails from hatten''s heart in a two-hour operation.
