During the World of Concrete 2018 show in Las Vegas last week, Kubota unveiled two new mini excavators in a three-ton model, the KX033-4 with extendable dipper arm, and a tight tail swing model, the U27-4.

First unveiled at World of Concrete 2016, John Deere says it has filled out its G-Series lineup of skid steers and compact track loaders with the unveiling of two new SSLs and one new CTL at World of Concrete 2018.

The new 320G and 324G SSLs, and the 325G CTL are mid-frame machines designed for a wide range of applications. Deere spokesman Gregg Zupanic says the new machines are aimed at customers who need the productivity and technology found in the large-frame models “but in a more compact package and at a lower price point.”
