D
ressta has enhanced the top end of
its wheel loader line, with the 560E
Extra featuring a high performance
Tier 3 engine, joystick boom and bucket
controls, hydrostatic steering, and a high
visibility cab. It has a payload capacity of
5.35 m
3
(7 yd
3
) to 11.5 m
3
(15 yd
3
) to go
along with a 41 980 kg (92,549 lb) operating
weight.
The turbocharged in-line six-cylinder Cum-
mins QSX-15 engine increases power from
415 net hp (310 kW) to 427 net hp (319 kW).
A variable speed cooling fan allows the en-
gine to provide 445 hp (332 kW) at mini-
mum fan speed. The oil change interval has
been extended to 500 hours. The 2900 kg
(6,390 lb) counterweight, previously optional
equipment, is now standard.
Combined with a three-speed, full power
shift, countershaft transmission; torque con-
verter, front and rear drive axles, and con-
ventional differentials, the 560E Extra deliv-
ers reliable and durable power transfer for
high production even in slippery conditions.
The Dressta 560E Extra is designed to de-
liver the extras customers look for in a big
wheel loader, that is, big machine comfort
and power with fast cycle times and low cost
of ownership.
With the power shift, countershaft trans-
mission on the 560E Extra, the operator ex-
periences smooth modulation on all shifts,
providing a more comfortable ride. The
countershaft transmission allows the gears
to constantly mesh to virtually eliminate ad-
justments. The design requires a minimum
number of parts for service and repair, pro-
viding long term, trouble free operation and
lower cost of ownership.
The Dressta 560E features a Z-bar linkage
that transfers maximum breakout force to
the bucket to pry out hard packed materi-
al. The design features a single bucket cyl-
inder that puts less weight on the front. It
also keeps the number of components and
wear and maintenance points to a minimum
for long life and easy maintenance. All loader
linkage pins are sealed to keep out abrasive
dust and grit.
The design extends lubrication intervals as
well as pin-bushing life. Boom cylinders are
mounted outside the front frame for easy ac-
cess and maintenance.
