Overview
The Dingo K9-4 Yanmar 2004 is a versatile piece of machinery, favored for its simplicity and reliability. This technical specification article examines the various features and specifications for the K9-4 and provides a comprehensive analysis of their advantages and disadvantages. Expected performance and practical applications are also discussed.
Technical Specifications
SideShift or CenterMount
- Advantage: The K9-4 Yanmar is capable of shifting to either side and therefore is able to access tight spaces with ease.
- Disadvantage: The side shift capability means that load capacity may be limited.
SAE Dig Depth (mm)
- Advantage: This specified dig depth of 1800mm allows the K9-4 to access key areas that other machinery may not be able to reach.
- Disadvantage: The narrow range of the dig depth limits its suitability for countering more extreme terrain and environment.
Reach @ Ground Level (mm)
- Advantage: Not specified, therefore allowing for a wide range of potential applications and ultimate flexibility.
- Disadvantage: Lack of available information at this level may cause frustration or confusion while attempting to determine suitable specifications.
Loading Height (mm)
- Advantage: Not specified, meaning that the operator has the freedom to determine appropriate loading height for various tasks.
- Disadvantage: Likewise, without the exact loading height provided, efficient loading may be difficult to gauge and plan for operations.
Bucket Width, Min-Max (mm)
- Advantage: The 200-450mm bucket width range of the K9-4 Yanmar is optimal for a wide range of typical construction work, such as removing soil and digging trenches.
- Disadvantage: The size of the bucket may limit the versatility of the K9-4 Yanmar when working on larger construction sites.
Bucket Breakout (kgf)
- Advantage: Not specified, allowing users to tailor their machinery selection to the size and weight of the job at hand.
- Disadvantage: Similarly, the lack of available information may lead users to select machinery that does not realistically meet the job requirements.
Dipper Breakout (kgf)
- Advantage: Not specified; the flexibility that this offers gives operators the freedom to choose the correct machine to meet their dipper breakout needs.
- Disadvantage: As with the bucket breakout, the lack of an exact number presents the operator with the risk of selecting an incorrect machine for their job.
Slew System
- Advantage: The hydraulic system of the K9-4 ensures a smooth and quick slow time, making the machine easier to work with and more efficient.
- Disadvantage: The hydraulic system may be difficult to repair or maintain, depending on the complexity of the issue.
Loader Bucket Capacity (m3)
- Advantage: The 0.26m3 loader bucket capacity ensures that the K9-4 Yanmar has plenty of capacity for taking on large projects.
- Disadvantage: However, the limited capacity may not be sufficient for larger jobs, such as earth moving or demolition.
Dump Height (mm)
- Advantage: The 1835mm dump height of the K9-4 allows it to quickly unload material and safely move it away from the work area.
- Disadvantage: The lack of an extension feature to increase the dump height limits the K9-4 Yanmar’s overall utility for certain tasks.
Engine Make & Model
- Advantage: The Yanmar 25.6 hp engine provides the K9-4 with enough power to handle most construction and earthmoving tasks without issue.
- Disadvantage: The limited power output means that the K9-4 Yanmar may not be suitable for heavy-duty operations.
Engine Power (kW@rpm)
- Advantage: The K9-4 provides 17.6 cont@3600 kW at rpm, allowing it to handle most construction jobs with ease.
- Disadvantage: The K9-4 Yanmar’s limited power output may not be suitable for some jobs, especially in mountainous terrain.
Engine Displacement (lit)
- Advantage: Not specified, enabling operators to determine the best engine size and displacement as per the job requirements.
- Disadvantage: Without this information, it can be difficult to gauge the performance capabilities of the engine.
Number of Cylinders
- Advantage: Three cylinders provide a good balance between power and fuel economy.
- Disadvantage: The small number of cylinders may restrict its performance potential, especially on larger jobs.
Pump Type
- Advantage: The gear pump, which is commonly used on excavators, is designed to be hardwearing and highly efficient.
- Disadvantage: Gear pumps can usually only be serviced by a trained professional.
Pump Flow (lit/min)
- Advantage: The K9-4 Yanmar’s specified 47 l/min pump flow ensures that it can handle most jobs with ease.
- Disadvantage: The limited flow rate may restrict the K9-4’s performance on larger jobs.
Relief valve pressure (bar)
- Advantage: The 225 bar relief valve pressure of the K9-4 Yanmar provides optimal efficiency and optimal performance.
- Disadvantage: The high pressure may lead to increased wear and tear in certain situations
