Any legislation, be it state, local or federal, by definition and practice is created to fix a problem or improve a situation, whether that problem or situation is real or perceived (and these days, that often depends on political party affiliation, unfortunately.) And some legislation makes things worse, or more difficult or more confusing. Such could be the case with New York State’s new Equal Pay legislation, now law, called Labor Law 194. They’re actually two bills that Gov. Cuomo signed into law July 10: One specifically expands the scope of New York State’s equal pay law to all protected classes and the other prohibits employers from asking an applicant about their prior salary history. According to the law, New York State’s equal pay law originally only prohibited pay discrimination based on gender. Now, the equal pay law prohibits unequal pay on the basis of any protected class, such as age, race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, military status, disability, predisposing genetic characteristics, familial status, marital status, domestic violence victim status and other employees and interns protected under the New York State Human Rights Law. The equal pay act also lowers the bar for employees bringing equal pay claims by requiring that employers provide equal pay — not just for “equal work,” but for “substantially similar work” as well. But here’s another aspect of the law that could easily be overlooked by hiring managers: employers are now barred from asking prospective employees or applicants about their past salary history and compensation during the hiring process. Employers are still permitted to ask salary expectations and the job candidate is permitted to voluntarily provide past salary history, but you can’t ask what they made prior to meeting with you. It’s pertinent information to have, though. Knowing what prospective candidates made provides valuable context for their expectations. Nonetheless, a job’s value is measured by supply, demand, talent and experience and there’s always going to be a range that a company or organization will pay for a given job title based on this, despite past salary history. The first parts of this law where employers must pay all its employees equally based on the job description renders the past salary history moot anyway, since it doesn’t really matter what a person made prior to the law. Still, it’s a potential landmine to avoid, especially if you’ve been asking about past salary history for a long time, so be careful. And a quick reminder: the N.Y.S Highway & Public Works Expo is fast approaching. It’ll be held Oct. 30 in Syracuse, so mark that on your calendars. P

Scott Hillman

Highway Superintendent and the Town of Porter

By Lori Lovely PROFILE CORRESPONDENT

After 45 years in the highway business, Scott Hillman, superintendent of highways for the town of Porter, is looking forward to retirement at the end of the year … although it’s hard for him to imagine what he’ll do with so much free time. The Army veteran hasn’t had much idle time in his life. “Retirement will be something different,” he envisions. Speculating that he and wife, Cindy, may travel, he said they’re currently busy trying to complete a kitchen remodel before he retires so they have no ties keeping them from whatever they may want to do. No doubt three grandkids, two golden retrievers and a rescue dog will keep him busy. In the meantime, Superintendent Hillman has some unfinished business with the town of Porter. Career and Crew The Ransomville, N.Y., native grew up in the area, where he has lived all his life. Before being elected superintendent in 1996, he worked for 22 years as a heavy equipment operator for the Niagara County highway department. Scott believes it was his knowledge of highway maintenance, fleet maintenance and snow removal methods that led a councilman and former superintendent to urge him to seek this position. In his current role, he has drawn on his experiences with heavy equipment. For example, four years before he left the Niagara County highway department, they changed snow removal procedures, removing the wingman in the snowplow. Scott incorporated that policy in Porter. Not only does it save money, but it saves the challenge of finding people to do the job. “We used to use farmers, but the workforce is shrinking and they have other things to do,” he said. Snow removal is serious business in the county, which receives approximately 80 inches per season. Porter participates in a shared services agreement with NYSDOT and Niagara County for snow and ice removal. Luckily, Scott pointed out, “the heavy snow stays in the ‘south towns.’” Because Porter is across from the Canadian peninsula, a land mass to the west, there’s little lakeeffect snow unless the wind shifts from the northeast. Of the 12 towns in Niagara County, only a couple still put two in the plow. “Most use one guy in the truck,” Scott said, explaining that he adapted their equipment to run with one person, positioning the mirror so they can see the equipment. He reports that the crew adapted quickly, learning to plow “by feel.” The workforce he inherited when first elected was a “good, solid” team. “I have always had excellent help that did a great job maintaining the roads,” he said. He knew his first crew before taking the job and said one of them still works part-time on the mowing crew. As his team transitions to a younger group, he has had to do a lot of training. continued on page 12 Superintendent’s Profile • www.superintendentsprofile.com • August 2019

His current crew is a young one, and they had to learn a lot. Although his deputy superintendent, Dave Burmaster, has been on the job 40 years and two joined in 2008, the rest are more recent additions. The remainder of his crew consists of full-timers • Steve Bills, MEO; • Jim Stone, MEO; • Wendy Shaw, MEO; • Scott Cudney, WSMM; • Justin Stoelting, WSMM; • Ramona Lockhart, water, sewer clerk; and • Charmayne Pollow, highway clerk Part-timers include: • Tim Owen, seasonal labor; and • Russ Whyte, truck driver “It’s a young workforce,” he noted. “Most came without a CDL or any snowplowing experience.” Perhaps they were untrained, but they were not without talent. Two of his crewmembers are experienced fabricators — one with a car repair background, one from a metal supply shop, where he ran a burn tank — and their work helps make the department self-sufficient. continued on page 14

This is what shared services looks like, said Scott Hillman. Niagara County Highway Superintendents have been at the forefront of shared services for the betterment of Niagara County residents and Scott was pleased to have partnered with Sen. Rob Ortt to bring this new road paver to Niagara County. 12

“If we break things, we weld them back together,” Scott said, adding that they also come up with ideas to build things. The ability to fabricate necessary pieces saves money and attracts attention, like the custom applicator they constructed for a unique anti-icing program they implemented shortly after Scott took office. “Now there are commercial sprayers available, but we opened a few eyes and got some attention,” Scott recalled. Encouraged to be preemptive on icing, he selected a liquid made from magnesium chloride and organics — microsolids leftover from beer brewing. “Magnesium chloride remains effective in temperatures below 0,” Scott said. Before a storm, his crews would spray the 65 miles his department is responsible for clearing (27 town, 25 county, 13 state — county winter maintenance only). In addition to working in colder temperatures, this byproduct of the brewing process doesn’t pollute the land or water. When the liquid dries, it creates a film. “Precipitation reinvigorates it,” Scott said. “It forms a layer that bonds with the street to prevent icing. It buys extra time.” continued on page 18

Instead of having to plow at midnight, his crews might be able to start at 4 a.m. With two gravel and 48 paved roads — including two bridges — divided into six plowing routes, it typically takes 2.5 hours to complete a full loop. To distribute the liquid, his crew fabricated a unit consisting of a tank, pump and spray bar with pencil tip nozzles out of quarter-inch pipe. It leaves marks in the road like a hay rake because the liquid spreads 1-2 inches. “You can see as it dries,” Scott said. He thought that was a benefit, but because Porter is near a large hazardous waste landfill built in the 1970s, the locals keep an eye out for spillage. “We got a lot of calls,” he said. Equipped for the Job Scott’s crew operates out of a shop equipped with a service lift, air compressor and fabrication area that includes a plasma cutter and welder. The department’s main garage, originally built in 1967 and reconstructed in 2004, houses trucks and equipment. The superintendent’s office and rear shop were built in 1990 and the water parts storage area and salt storage structure, constructed in 1994 and shared with two villages and a school district, holds 2,200 tons of salt. continued on page 22

Although the garage and his office were redone in 2004 with new wiring, fresh paint and detailed cleaning, it all came as a result of Scott’s worst day on the job. Always up by 1:30 to 2 a.m. in the winter to check the weather, he noticed a light dusting of snow on the roads one morning, so he headed to the shop. When he arrived, he thought it odd that the remote for the electric gate didn’t work and that the light in the vestibule wasn’t on. He noticed a ‘white wave’ of smoke. Relying on his experience as a volunteer fire fighter, he didn’t go in. Instead, he called 911. An investigation revealed that an electrical short on worn, exposed wires in the power lift gate on a two-year-old dump truck from the engine to the interior to the hydraulic tank. That resulted in a flare that melted the solder in the joint in a copper pipe on a new water line, releasing a cascade of water onto the truck parked below, ultimately saving the building. continued on page 26

Winter hit two days later, Scott said. Fortunately, a farmer nearby allowed them to park the department’s equipment in his garage and operate from there all winter. The other silver lining is that insurance paid for 90 percent of work he had planned to do, such as painting and rewiring new lighting — and his office carpet was cleaned in the process. These days, Scott and his crew can park the pickups, vans, grapple truck and Gradall excavator in the garage. One day he hopes to park a sewer jet/vac in there, too. “The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is requiring visual inspection of 10 percent of our sewer system each year,” Scott said, making the sewer jet/vac unit a necessary piece of equipment. Among Scott’s additional responsibilities is oversight of water, sewer, parks and cemeteries. According to the NYSDEC, he has to look at the sewer system where groundwater is seeping in and remove it. That includes inspecting all houses on the market, checking to see if their downspouts and floor drains are tied into the sewer. continued on page 30

“It’s called ‘I and I’ … inflow and infiltration. Every ounce of groundwater in the system wastes treatment. They want to treat only gray water.” He’s currently working on a grant application for the $400,000 needed to purchase the jet/vac that will be shared with two villages and two towns that also use the treatment plant in Lewistown. Waterworks In addition to flushing the sewers, Scott’s department looks for leaks in the waterlines. They’ve replaced a lot of waterlines, too, but he said there will be more in the future. Although they recently completed installation of seven miles of new waterline, he mentioned a large line from Lewistown to Youngstown built during WWII that needs a polyliner or replacement with PVC or ductile iron. “Iron lines tuberculate — develop barnacles,” he said. “The pipe size shrinks because of it. We scrape the inside to clean it out for placement of the polyliner.” continued on page 34

Next, they use steam to pressurize the polyliner so it form-fits to the existing pipe. “The villages have been around for 200 years and the sewer system is about 100 years old,” Scott said. “A lot of it is made of red brick. It leaks.” The oldest water system in the area features a steel tower that was built in the 1930s, he added. “Some areas in town still have cast iron pipes.” Those are susceptible to freeze-thaw cycles. They get brittle, can sheer and fail. Scott’s crew expanded the sewer district, creating the Lakeshore Sewer District, which added an additional 3.92 miles of sewer main and four new pump stations. Not Quite Ancient History Water is all around the town of Porter, in the Niagara municipality, which sits north of the city of Niagara Falls and boasts a population slightly higher than 5,000. Before the Europeans arrived, the area was the home of the Iroquois Confederacy, but they were forced to cede their lands after the American Revolution, leaving the region open to white settlement. continued on page 38

Named for Augustus Porter, the first judge in Niagara County, the town of Porter was created in 1812 from the town of Cambria by an act of New York State legislation, but the war slowed development by disrupting trade with ongoing conflict. Bordered on the north by Lake Ontario and on the west by the Niagara River — the international boundary between the United States and Canada — Porter is home to Old Fort Niagara State Park, site of Fort Niagara and Fort Conti, built in 1678 to protect the interests of New France. It played a role in the French and Indian War, falling to the British during the 1759 Battle of Fort Niagara, and then served as a loyalist base during the American Revolution because its location at the mouth of the Niagara River controlled access to the Great Lakes and out to the Atlantic. Thought to be haunted by a French soldier who was beheaded during a dual, Fort Niagara is now an attraction in the park, along with the lighthouse, built in 1872 and used by the U.S. Coast Guard until 1993, when trees impeded its visibility from the river and the lake. It’s now a museum. continued on page 42

Seen here is the main entrance to Fort Niagara State Park.

The park features nature trails, soccer fields, tennis courts, playgrounds, picnic areas and boat launches. Fishing and hiking are favorite pastimes in the area. Scott frequents several local dirt tracks, where he said go-karting is becoming a popular sport, but stock cars still prevail. And then, there’s Porterfest, the annual music festival with local bands in the large town park. The town of Porter is a scenic rural town. “It’s mostly farmland, with little industry,” Scott said. But it’s not far from big city life. “On a clear day, you can see the Toronto skyline.” One thing Scott would like to see before he leaves is a large equipment storage building so he can put all the equipment under cover, safe from the elements. But, as he looks back on a career that spans so many decades, his wife insists they’ve been married only 27 years (as opposed to 44 actual years) because he was often plowing snow or addressing other people’s problems on holidays and weekends, he is proud of the relationships he forged with his crew, the town supervisors and the board. “We have all worked together to provide the residents with good public works,” he said. 42

Scott is a member of the Niagara County Association of Town Superintendents of Highways, New York State Association of Town Superintendents of Highways, American Public Works Association, New York Rural Water (which services systems of 10,000 or fewer connections) and American Water Works Association. But perhaps his biggest sense of accomplishment comes from helping residents with their problems. His best day on the job was only his third day on the job. “I got a call from a guy with a problem,” he recalled. “He told me he’s a Democrat and didn’t expect me to help him, but I solved his issue the same day.” That customer told everyone, setting the bar high for the remainder of Scott’s tenure. He said he looks forward to sleeping in past the 7 a.m. start time (6 a.m. May through August) and jokes that he’ll have to buy a cell phone after turning in the company phone. “My wife says I need a cell phone,” he laughed, “but I tell her just to walk over to the recliner to talk to me.” Don’t believe a word of it. Scott is already considering working parttime on a mowing crew.  P

Deputy Super Reflects on 55-Year Career With Same Department

By Jill Smith

PROFILE CORRESPONDENT

“I couldn't wait to get to work,” recalled Louie Cacciotti, thinking back to 1964 and his first year at the highway department for the town of Lancaster, N.Y. Today, more than 50 years later, Cacciotti (known by his family and friends as “Big Lou” or “Uncle Louie”) still wakes up every morning at 5 a.m. ready to take on the workday as deputy superintendent of that same department. In his career, he has worked with seven different superintendents, five supervisors and more than 100 employees. However, the one constant spanning this time has been Cacciotti’s work ethic and unwavering respect for the people he has worked with, side by side. Cacciotti started his career in the department at the age of 21, as a laborer. “I loved being outside,” he said. “I took one of those quizzes that tell you what to do when you grow up. Mine came back, do something outdoors.” And as a laborer, Cacciotti had many opportunities to work outside. “One of my first jobs was salting the roads,” he recalled. “There were no automatic sanders. It was a dirty job and we did it by hand. I’d stand in the back of the truck, and throw 36 tons of salt while the wind slapped my face.” Cacciotti said a strong sense of balance was how to survive back then. “If the driver made a sharp turn or slid on ice, he’d have kept going and never known I wasn’t there anymore.”

For more than 50 years, Louie Cacciotti (known by his family and friends as “Big Lou” or “Uncle Louie”) has woken up at 5 a.m. every morning ready to take on the workday as deputy superintendent of the town of Lancaster.

“It was the blizzard of 1977. We had five Brockway plow trucks and a high lift. The drifts were as high as the street lamps. Our trucks couldn’t get through.” Cacciotti said the swift aid from his neighboring departments was much more powerful than the storm itself. “They came from all over and brought bigger blowers. It took 11 days to get the last people out of their homes. We got it done because of their help.” In 2009, Cacciotti became interim superintendent. “Until then, I’d done everything,” he said. “The staff respected me for it. My motto on managing people hasn’t changed since then. Treat others how you want to be treated, hopefully, it will trickle down.” Nowhere has this philosophy been more evident than with the on-going relationship between Cacciotti and his Louie Cacciotti started his career in the town of Lancaster highway department at the current supervisor, Dan Amatura, highway superintendent age of 21, as a laborer. of the town of Lancaster. They started working together in 2010. “Danny and I make a good team,” Cacciotti said, proudly. “He came Luckily, Cacciotti didn’t fall off. He moved up — from manual labor to management. There were plenty of snowstorms along the way and from road construction. He showed me how things were built. I taught him operations and maintenance.” Cacciotti was on the job for most of them. And it was Cacciotti who encouraged Amatura to run for superintend“Most times I was on the road before the drivers even got on their ent. trucks,” he said. Cacciotti remembered one storm in particular. continued on page 50

For 55 Years and Counting, Louie Cacciotti Serves Town of Lancaster from page 46

“Danny was a former board member. He knew the politics of the job and liked it. I liked working directly with the guys and was happy to be his deputy.” “Calling Louie organized is an understatement,” said Amatura. “He has these three-ring notebooks, tons of them. All are painstakingly, meticulously written, with hand-drawn schematics and photographs of every project in the town since he began working there.” Amatura recalled a drainage situation on Aurora Street when he first started as superintendent. “I wanted to get some cores on the road,” he said. “It would have cost the town $6,000. Louie pulls out this binder from 1976, with documented detail when and where the shoulder had been widened, and how much blacktop was used. I didn’t need the report … it was all in those notebooks.”

Dan Amatura (L), highway superintendent, and Louie Cacciotti, deputy superintendent, both of the town of Lancaster highway department.

“Calling Louie organized is an understatement,” said Dan Amatura, highway superintendent of the town of Lancaster. “He has these threering notebooks, tons of them. All are painstakingly, meticulously written, with hand-drawn schematics and photographs of every project in the town since he began working there.” 50

Those notebooks, coupled with Cacciotti’s extensive memory and experiences, were the impetus for him to apply and receive a grant to implement a GIS (Geographical Information System). “We scanned all of Louie’s notes and now that data can be accessed with a touch of a finger on a keyboard. His records have saved the town thousands of dollars more than once.” Cacciotti has always lived in Lancaster. He’s married to his wife for 58 years, has three children and five grandchildren, who also live in Lancaster. Over the years, he has witnessed a lot of changes in his industry. “There were lots of empty lands back then,” he said. “Now the town is thriving. The technology is amazing. The tandem vehicles today can plow and sand in one run, with one truck and only one driver, eliminating the wingman. There’s air-conditioning, and the six- and 10-wheelers are more efficient and can cover more miles in less time.” Technology has aligned with Cacciotti’s prevailing priority over his long career — safety for co-workers. “The work we do can be dangerous,” he said. “Rear back-up cameras with lighting and sound devices, adapted cruise control, collision mitigation systems all keep our people safe. If we only had automatic sanders back then.” In May 2019, Cacciotti celebrated his 55th year working at the department. “People always ask me when I'm going to retire,” he said. “I like being part of the action. Why would I stop doing what I love?” Amatura sees Cacciotti’s passion for the job every day and summed up his deputy with what he calls his favorite memory of him. “It was 4:30 in the morning and freezing cold. We were finishing up plowing a storm that had recently died down. Snowflakes were still falling lightly. All I wanted was a hot cup of coffee and the warmth of my office. But Louie? He was smiling and said, ‘isn’t it beautiful?’ That’s Louie for you.”P

Boss Redesigns Snowrator to Maximize Performance, Reliability Boss Products, a division of The Toro Company, acquired the Snowrator brand in March 2018 and set about a redesign to take the one-of-a-kind product from good to great. Using its more than 30 years of experience in snowplow design, Boss re-engineered the Snowrator to maximize the performance and reliability of this multi-tasking, labor-saving solution for snow and ice contractors. The Snowrator quickly deploys to plow and de-ice sidewalks and walkways — effectively reducing the need for shovelers and allowing the operator to brine, spread and plow at the same time to maximize on-the-job productivity and profitability. Boss-engineered improvements include a 4 ft. (1.2 m) hydraulic snowplow with 20 in. (50.8 cm) polyethylene skin and improved electrical and plow attachment systems. The Snowrator also now accepts all Boss ATV plow accessories and common parts for better parts availability and convenience of service. “At Boss, it’s our business to make snow and ice management more efficient and prof-

itable,” said Mark Klossner, marketing vice president of Boss Snowplow. “Our customers can rely on the redesigned Snowrator to provide clean and clear sidewalks for metro, commercial and residential jobs, and Snowrators don’t call in sick or need time off. It’s a dependable labor solution in tough winter weather.” Boss-designed features and improvements: Plow • Has a 4 ft. Boss hydraulic snowplow with a 20 in. tall poly skin blade. • Shares all accessories and common parts with Boss ATV plows for better parts availability and convenience of service.

Vehicle • Boss chassis provides greater protection from puncture to the standard brine tank and features a new, removable rear plate for easier maintenance and access to the tank. • Rear fenders and splashguards help to protect the operator from slush, salt, snow and other debris, for operator comfort.

The Snowrator quickly deploys to plow and de-ice sidewalks and walkways — effectively reducing the need for shovelers and allowing the operator to brine, spread and plow at the same time to maximize on-the-job productivity and profitability. 56

• Vehicle hardware now features nylon locking nuts to prevent loosening due to vehicle operation, for improved reliability. Electrical • Electrical system now features weatherresistant connectors to improve reliability. • Hydraulic hose ends now feature a coating with 7x greater corrosion resistance. • Joystick hydraulic manifold is now painted to reduce corrosion. • Terminal block replaced with a power/ground harness to reduce corrosion to the electrical system and allow for plug-andplay with optional equipment. • Increased gauge of power and ground cable improve performance. Controls • Responsive hydraulic lever turn control operations offer ease of maneuverability with zero turn radius and four-wheel drive for traction in any conditions. • Rear reference bar makes operation easier by giving the operator an additional hand-hold support feature. • Front reference bar is now notched to prevent the bar from slipping and offer a method of limiting vehicle speed. • LED worklights provide clear visibility on the job. Ice Control and Optional Spreading Equipment • Snowrator features both pre-treatment and de-icing capabilities with a standard 20-gal. pre-treatment brine system, available optional auxiliary brine tank and two de-icing solid material spreaders. • Updated fully potted broadcast spreader controller provides onboard diagnostics for troubleshooting and eases operation. • Exact Path 1.5 cu. ft. drop spreader with a Boss-exclusive salt chute precisely distributes salt at the optimum width and pattern, minimizing damage to turf while reducing salt contact with the plow attachment system. Available accessories for the Snowrator include a 20-gal. auxiliary tank, plow wing extensions, material carrying trays, broadcast spreader, plow box wings, shovel mounting brackets, Exact Path drop spreader, urethane cutting edge and 5-gal. bucket mounts.

Cat Land Management CTL Built to Handle Difficult Land-Clearing Apps The Cat 299D2 XHP Land Management compact track loader is a purpose-built machine solution for customers involved in demanding vegetation-management applications, ranging from mulching, brushcutting, vegetation control and mowing. This segment-focused machine delivers the advantages of efficiency and economy in specific applications, including site preparation, utility right-of-way clearing, vegetation management for fire prevention, railroad maintenance-of-way, agriculture, and forestry. The 299D2 XHP Land Management machine’s powerful Cat C3.8 engine, rated at 110 gross hp (82 kW), combines with its high-flow/highpressure auxiliary hydraulic system — 40 gpm @ 4,061 psi (150 L/min @ 28,000 kPa) for a calculated hydraulic-horsepower rating of 94 (70 kW) — to ensure optimum performance when powering high-production, hydro-mechanical attachments, such as mulching heads and industrial brush-cutters.

of implement response, hydrostatic-drive response, creep-control speed, ride-control-activation speed, language preference, and gauge layout. The electronic instrumentation includes fuel level, DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) level, hydraulic and engine-coolant temperatures and tachometer. For added operating safety and security, the rearview camera provides high-resolution images of difficult-to-see areas behind the machine, thus expanding the operator’s field of vision for enhanced job-site awareness. The advanced display also provides a coded theft-deterrent system. Additional Features The cooling system’s hydraulically driven demand fan operates only when required, saving fuel and reducing sound levels. The reversing fan clears intake screens and can operate in both automatic- and momentarypurge modes. A battery disconnect adds to machine security and allows isolating the battery when servicing the machine or when storing the machine to minimize battery drain. The 299D2 XHP Land Management compact track loader uses a torsion-axle-type undercarriage-suspension system that allows independent vertical movement between the frame and undercarriage. The system

Design Details To provide longer intervals of uninterrupted work, the 299D2 XHP Land Management compact track loader has a 58.1-gal. (220 L) fuel tank, which is 80 percent larger than the tank on standard 299D2 XHP models and sized to provide and estimated run time of 11 to 12 hours. This machine also is factory-equipped with seal and cover components designed to restrict debris and other material from entering the engine compartment and lower frame. A debris deflector channels any material created by rotating attachments away from the front of the cab for added safety. In addition, certain engine and emissions components incorporate special parts and covers, designed to deter debris from collecting on the components, and large frame-access panels provide easy access to aid in routine cleaning. A turbine-type pre-cleaner ejects dust, dirt, and debris from engine-intake airflow before it reaches the filter, thus extending air-filter service life. The 299D2 XHP Land Management model also comes factory-equipped with components that provide guarding to protect front and rear LED work lights, work-tool coupler area, work-tool electrical The 299D2 XHP Land Management machine’s powerful Cat C3.8 engine, rated at 110 gross harness connections, and auxiliary-hydraulic hp (82 kW), combines with its high-flow/high-pressure auxiliary hydraulic system — 40 gpm quick-disconnect fittings from impact and debris @ 4,061 psi (150 L/min @ 28,000 kPa) for a calculated hydraulic-horsepower rating of 94 (70 that are often hazards in land-clearing applications. kW) — to ensure optimum performance when powering high-production, hydro-mechanical attachments, such as mulching heads and industrial brush-cutters.

Operator Station The 299D2 XHP Land Management machine also features a onepiece, sealed, pressurized cab design to keep the operator’s environment clean and quiet. Operator comfort/convenience features include a premium, heated, air-suspension seat with independently adjustable armrest/joystick-control positions, integrated full-color display for machine operating information and performance adjustments, rearview camera, and integrated Bluetooth radio with microphone. A bracket in the cab accommodates a five-pound fire extinguisher bottle. The 299D2 XHP Land Management model includes a full-color, 5inch, LCD advanced display monitor that enables on-screen adjustment 62

distributes loads and absorbs shock and vibration that can occur when operating in uneven underfoot conditions, thus isolating the frame and providing a smoother ride for operators and protecting the machine from unnecessary stress. Standard two-speed travel and an electronic hand/foot throttle system (with decelerator pedal) further increase operator control, especially when using hydro-mechanical attachments. The 299D2 XHP Land Management machine provides ground-level access to all daily and routine service points, including engine air cleaner, fuel filter/water separator, engine oil check, engine oil fill, hydraulic oil fill and hydraulic filter.
