Web Exclusive: CE Editors Provide Video Report on Kobelco SK350

July 24, 2008

Weighing in a shade below 80,000 pounds, Kobelco’s SK350 Acera Mark 8 hydraulic excavator is a Tier-3-compliance upgrade from the SK330LC Dynamic Acera model. But the new emissions-compliant Hino engine in place of the earlier excavator’s Mitsubishi engine is not the only change.

To learn first-hand how much of an upgrade the manufacturer put into the new excavator, Construction Equipment editors did a Field Test in Calhoun, Georgia, the home of Kobelco Construction. They return with a video insight of the SK350 Acera Mark 8 from not only product managers, but independent users who tested the 264-horsepower excavator against its 247-horsepower predecessor.
