New Holland Construction has announced the commercial availability of the C314 mini track loader. Tailored to meet the demands of landscape and general contractors across North America, the stand-on machine is designed for maneuverability across jobsites and is capable of handling a range of tasks, including loading, dumping and drilling.
“The C314 mini track loader was constructed to effectively address the diverse requirements of today’s contractors,” said Doran Herritt, product manager for New Holland Construction North America. “Given the indispensable role of smaller profiled equipment in the landscaping sector, having this machine included in one’s toolbox is paramount to help them address the specific requirements each jobsite has.”
Performance
Powered by a 25-hp engine, the C314 mini track loader allows operators to adapt to various demands of each project. Its utility spans a spectrum of jobs, from paving patios and walkways to managing vegetation debris, as well as tackling light-duty construction projects like erecting foundations and decks.
The machine is compatible with New Holland Construction’s suite of 29 attachments due to its auxiliary flow rate of 15 gpm. Its industry interface and 14-pin electric multifunction control provide hook-up versatility with new and older attachments, including augers, trenchers, grapple buckets, rakes and more. With an appropriate rated operating capacity of 1,000 lbs. (at 35 percent of tipping load) and 35 in. of working space, operators can tackle mild structural projects. These encompass tasks like laying footings for structures, handling fence line work and executing irrigation or drainage projects. This loader also features an optimal dump height of 20.1 in. for loading.
Control and Operation
The C314 mini track loader offers operator positioning, as the operator is placed in proximity to the drive and motor. This arrangement supports machine control, considering its stand-on configuration. Operators will also experience stability, thanks to being situated closer to the core of the machine. Several other features have been added to the C314 mini track loader, including hydraulic pilot joystick control and loader and ground drive control lockout. The machine comes equipped with a cushioned platform, hand throttle and grab handles.
“The C314 mini track loader marks the initiation of a series of novel machines joining the New Holland Construction lineup,” said Herritt. “We’re immensely excited to bring to market this type of solution and deliver an exceedingly versatile machine that finds relevance in the daily operations of many contractors and landscapers alike.”
