DRESSTA 560E EXTRA WHEEL LOADER boosts big machine power and performance

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.

Combined with a three- speed, full power shift, countershaft transmission; torque converter, front and rear drive axles, and conventional differentials, the 560E Extra delivers reliable and durable power transfer for high production even in slippery conditions.
