CUB CADET YANMAR EXPANDS LINE OF COMPACT TRACTORS

Valley City, Ohio, (October 23, 2008)  – Cub Cadet Yanmar is keeping true to its Beyond the Expected promise by delivering the best-in-class equipment with the release of their latest model, the Ex450.  Built on a large chassis to accommodate a wide array of attachments, including a front loader with a universal quick-attach bucket, backhoe and 3-point implements, the Ex450 can be used for everything from cutting grass to backhoe trenching and excavation.


 


Designed for a wide range of users including small farm and ranch owners, landscapers, lawn and maintenance crews, material handlers and even construction crews, the Ex450 is powered by a 4-cylinder liquid cooled, 45 HP direct-injection Yanmar diesel engine to provide more torque reserve so the power is there when they need it the most. The result is a quieter, more powerful, fuel-efficient engine.   


 


The Ex450 is a real workhorse and stacks up very well to the competition in terms of features, ease of use and total lower cost of ownership, said Roger Gifford, Cub Cadet Yanmar product manager.  This product is the next step up in our product offering of tractors that deliver a superior experience. Customers want a tractor that is easy and comfortable to operate, that has the power to do what needs to be done and the styling to make it a machine you™ll love to own.


 


The Ex450 also boasts these high performance features:


 



  • Synchro Shuttle Simply depress the clutch and flip the conveniently-located shuttle lever to change direction of travel quickly and easily ­- a perfect feature for loader work.

  • 9×9 Transmission Choose from nine forward or nine reverse speeds to find the perfect speed for the task. Column-mounted for ease and comfort, this shifter allows for better tractor control under all working conditions.

  • High Performance Engine Its 4-cylinder, 45 HP direct-injection diesel engine delivers higher reserve torque for more usable horsepower to get work done faster while still remaining fuel efficient and quiet.

  • Powerful Lift Capacity Allowing for a wide range of attachments, its category 1, 3-point hitch has a lift capacity of more than 2,400 lbs. proving its power equals its versatility.

  • Fully Hydraulic Power Steering Provides smoother, more stable and comfortable control even over rough terrain and makes maneuvering around the job site a breeze.
