LBX Co., Lexington, Ky., has updated its 330 LX Link-Belt Excavator with a Tier III emission certified engine. The 271-horsepower, six-cylinder, four-cycle diesel engine uses a common-rail fuel injection system and turbocharger with intercooler. The Isuzu AH-6HK1XYSS engine reduces nitrogen oxide emissions while retaining performance, reliability and durability, according to the company. The 330 LX weighs 78,000 pounds and has a bucket range of 1.12 to 2.93 cubic yards. The machine can travel at speeds up to 3.4 mph and has a maximum swing speed of 9.6 rpm. Maintenance is made easier due to the vertically mounted filters. The 330 LX also features a green plug for draining engine oil.
