Hills Machinery Hosts Case DL550 Minotaur Roadshow

Hills Machinery hosted The Groundbreaker Roadshow featuring the Case DL550, March 3, 2023, in Charlotte, N.C.

Weighing in at more than 18,000 lbs. and working with 114 hp, the new first-of-its-kind machine delivers true dozing and grading performance, as well as powerful site loading capabilities and compatibility with hundreds of attachments, according to Case. A single platform has never delivered this level of versatility, power and precision, according to the manufacturer — all culminating in an entirely new product category created by Case: the compact dozer loader.

The hallmark advancement of the Case Minotaur DL550 is the chassis-integrated C-frame with six-way dozer blade. The C-frame hydraulically couples into both the chassis of the machine, as well as the attachment coupler.

This design provides the stability and smooth operating plane of a small dozer while ensuring that all operating power is channeled through the whole body of the machine. This establishes greater performance and long-term reliability than the simple combination of a dozer blade attachment to a traditional compact track loader, according to the manufacturer.

It also comes standard with Case Universal Machine Control, which makes the machine ready for any of the major three providers of machine control technology, which are sold separately. It's also available with an optional, industry-exclusive fully integrated ripper for tearing up tough terrain to simplify dozing and earthmoving operations.

The C-frame is then detached to allow the operator to use it as a loader with a heavy-duty 1.25-cu.-yd. bucket, or with hundreds of common loader attachments many equipment owners already have in their fleet.
