315SK(4x4)Tractor Loader Backhoe

Shift Productivity into a higher gear

Powerful and responsive hydraulics deliver generous lift capacity and breakout to both working ends – along with impressive backhoe crowdpower and swing torque.As always, our PowerShift™ transmission providessmooth on-the-go clutch-lessgear changes. What's more,a fifth gear makes it evenmore nimble and quick,providing transport speedsup to 40 km/h. AddAutoshift, and you'll havethe smoothest-shiftingbackhoe available.

Already own our J-Series Backhoes? Loader, backhoe buckets, as well as front and rear attachments, are compatible with the K-Series.

Limited-slip mechanical-front-wheel drive delivers up to 65 percent of available power to the wheel with the best traction. Engage it "on the fly", for true all-wheel drive when and where youneed it.

Redesigned cooling package allows coolers to tilt away from the radiator for convenient core clean-out.

Extendable dipperstick (optional) adds digging depth and reach. Outer-box design firmly clamps cumbersome objects such as timber and concrete slabs between the bucket and gripper teeth while extending or retracting.

Ride-control (optional) functions as a shock absorber, smoothing moves over rough terrain. So full loads are more likely to arrive at their destination – instead of somewhere in-between. Helps reduce operator fatigue, too.

When you compare routine maintenance costs you'll discover what owners already know – it costs less to operate a Bell.

Wet-sleeve engine liners provide uniform cooling and increased durability over cast-in-block designs.

Totally welded mainframe resists torsional stress, absorbs shock loads, and delivers maximum strength. Simplifies service access to major components, too.

Planetary final drives distribute loads over multiple gears for long-term durability.

Wide-mouth fuel tank allows fast, ground-level fill ups. Large capacity lets you work longer before refuelling.

Vertical spin-on engine, transmission and hydraulic filters as well as quick-release fuel filters allow quick, no-spill changes.

500-hour engine and 2,000-hour hydraulic oil-service intervals enable K-series Backhoes to work longer between changes.

Rear axle bearings self-lubricate, so you'll never have to worry about greasing.

Synthetic bushings in the loader linkage and extendable dipperstick replace grease nipples and the greasing that goes with them.

Generous swing-torque, boom, and dipperstick lift capacity.

Large pins and replaceable bushings deliver long-term durability, and help keep the backhoe and loader tight and digging true.

Engine hood is constructed of a resilient composite material that resists impacts and damage; reinforced grille helps protect the coolers.

Tight torque-converter match, impressive torque reserve, smooth combined-function metering, and optimum lift-to-crow match make these aggressive and responsive loaders.

Curved-knee loader-boom design provides superior reach, enabling the K-Series to easily dump to the centre of most trucks. For quick and efficient loading.

Power Curve™ boom design begins wide at the base and narrows through the line of sight for unrestricted visibility. Its proven geometry provides smooth and consistent control throughout the digging arc.

Backhoe boom, dipperstick, stabilizers and loader are box-constructed of low-alloy steel for maximum strength.

Reducedmaintenance

From the increased bonnet tilt that allows more engine access, to the tilt-out coolers that open up the cores – the K-Series is loaded with

features that make it as easy to maintain as it is to operate. Same-side ground-level service points help daily checks and top-ups go more

quickly. Other features such as quick-change filters, extended service intervals, simple-to-read sight gauges, and easy-access

grease nipples help increase uptime and lower daily operatingcosts. And because no maintenance beats low maintenance,

self- adjusting serpentine belts, park brakes, and wet-discbrakes seldom, if ever, require attention.

With the K-Series, you'll spendless time and expense

getting ready forwork – and moretime getting work

done.

Pallet forks (optional) increase machine versatility. The low-profile loader knee is narrower through the line of sight, for a better view of the attachment. Visibility to the forks at truck-bed height is best in class.

Convenient colour-coded lube and periodic maintenance chart ensures that nothing gets overlooked.

Worksite Pro™ quick-coupler (optional) lets you change attachments quickly and easily without leaving your seat. Accommodates a wide variety of attachments.

Multi-purpose bucket (optional) offers even more versatility for your jobsite. Wear-resistant alloy-steel cutting edges on working areas ensure long life and trouble-free operation.

Electronic variable-speed fan is automatically controlled through temperature sensors to help keep things cool. Helps conserve power and fuel, while reducing noise.

Who wouldn't be more productive in the spacious cab of a K-Series Backhoe?Its wide expanse of tinted glass provides a virtually unobstructed panoramic view of the work at hand and surrounding job site. The enhanced automatic high-velocity climate-control system's repositioned vents direct air more efficiently to keep the view clear and operator comfortable. You will also findmore storage space, with more lockable compartments for securingcarry-ons. And there's a new sealed-switch module thatprovides convenient, low-effort push-button operationof numerous functions including keyless start.More comfort, more convenience, and moreefficiency – that's our K-Series.

Solid-state electrical system eliminates numerous relays and connectors for enhanced reliability.

Big Productivity begins here

1. Sealed-switch module gives fingertip control of keyless start, optional ride control, Autoshift and auxiliary hydraulics – plus many other functions. Machine-security system with touchpad passcode helps prevent unauthorized operation.

2. In addition to theexpected cupholders, there'smore lockablestorage, as wellas plenty ofside-consoleand overheadcompartments.

3. Advanced monitor providesa wealth of vital and generaloperating info, plus onboarddiagnostics of most sensorsand switches for quick trouble-shooting and maximum uptime.

4. Ergonomically designed loader controlutilizes a rotary-switch-actuated electro-hydraulic (EH) controller for third-function loader hydraulics. Push buttons and a trigger provide fingertip operation of clutch disconnect, as well as on/off/momentary front-wheel-drive engagement.

Mechanical armchairseats adjust as requiredfor daylong operatorcomfort andsupport.

1. You've got cruise control in yourcar – why not add it to your

backhoe? Rotary throttle lets you dial-in the speed you need.

2. Enabled through the monitor, differential lock protection prevents engagement at high travel

speeds and the resulting wear and tear onaxle components.

3. To conserve fuel and comply with regional air and bystander noise regulations, auto-shutdown

turns off the engine after an operator-selected period of inactivity.

5. With convenient handholds,self-cleaning steps, and wide

doors, getting to work has neverbeen easier. Separate service and

park brake systems provide an extrameasure of security.

Completely redesigned HVAC system directs heated or cooled air whereit's needed most – on the operator.

12-volt power ports on both sides of the console provide convenient power for cell phones and other devices.

4. Split floor mats and a largeremovable panels provide

convenient, top-side access tointernal components.

In addition to operating the backhoe and loader, EH joysticks provide smooth, responsive control of auxiliary loader attachments, extendable dipperstick, backhoe auxiliary attachments, hammer, mechanical-front-wheel drive, and horn.
