well-suited for the agricultural sector. The drive system features a rotary automatic gearbox that boosts travel speed by 10%, and increases towing force by over 6%. The rated load is 5 000 kg, rated power is 164 kW, and the break-out force is 175 kN. The SY215C medium excavator has an operating weight of 21 900 kg, an engine output of 114 kW, and a 1 m³ bucket capac- ity. Features include a customised engine, strengthened components, high operating efficiency, low fuel consumption, easy main- tenance, and an ergonomic cabin to promote operator comfort and productivity. The operating efficiency of the SY215C has been boosted by 8% thanks to an innovative controller that reduces the response time of the hydraulic compo- nents, as well as lowering the internal power loss of the system, and boosting the output power. The positive flow hydraulic system has also reduced fuel consumption by 10%, due to advanced dynamic control technology providing a real-time match between engine power and main pump power. Fuel economy is optimised further by means of four power modes for added flexibility. b
