Case launches TV620B, the industry’s largest compact crawler loader

With a working weight of 16,100 pounds, Case’s newest compact track loader is now the industry’s largest, designed for the size and power of residential construction and land clearing. The company unveiled the new CTL at the Utility Expo in Louisville, Kentucky.

Powered by a 114-horsepower engine, the TV620B delivers 12,084 pounds of loader digging force and 12,907 pounds of bucket digging force. It has a rated working capacity of 6,200 pounds.

Case says the TV620B is built on an oversized frame and is more than just the TV450’s big brother; this machine was redesigned from the ground up.

“We talked to a lot of customers running large CTLs and asked them what they would like to see,” says George MacIntryre, Case product manager. “We really focused on certain areas to make sure the frame was robust and could withstand the harsh conditions. Piston pumps are standard on this model and provide customers with the flow and pressure ratings they need to run large attachments. Finally, we focused on the performance of the loader to be able to dump into a high-side truck.”

The TV620B now comes standard with additional features, including

Electro-hydraulic control
High-flow hydraulic system
Automatic ride control and one-way self-leveling
Programmable hydraulic reversing fan
LED lights
New SiteConnect module
Case SiteWatch telematics for one year

The electro-hydraulic control allows the operator to set the machine’s overall response to low, medium or aggressive, or to independently set tilt, lift and drive speeds, as well as loading arm and drive controls to suit the job. This is set via the LCD multifunction display in the cab, which comes standard, says Case.

MacIntyre says, “We’re giving operators more precise and intuitive controls than ever before in the Case CTL and making the machine easy to operate in the widest possible range of applications.”

High-flow auxiliary hydraulics and enhanced high-flow hydraulics are available, delivering 3,450 psi and 4,100 psi at 41.6 gpm, respectively, making the mulching head, cold planer and grading blade ideal companions for this machine. The enhanced hydraulic cooling system maximizes uptime when using high-powered attachments. The TV620B is also available with a variety of buckets, including a heavy-duty 84-inch, 1.25-cubic-yard bucket with SmartFit teeth.

One-way self-leveling with adjustable speed settings and automatic ride control reduce material spillage and provide a smoother ride. The operator can adjust the foot pedal to provide one of three functions – gas pedal (conventional acceleration), transmission (reduces drive speed but maintains rpm for loader arm function) or deceleration (conventional deceleration).

The enhanced landing gear on the TV620B is endorsed by Case’s 650M dozer. “It’s much heavier than what comes down from this size class,” says MacIntyre. “The idler ceiling on the TV620B is similar to the 650M dozer. The dozer assembly is a little bit larger than what we have on the CTL, but it’s really just a scaled-down version of what we have on the very reliable Case dozer.” In addition, the 17.7-inch rubber tracks minimize ground disturbance (6.1 psi) and enhance performance on an improved surface.

With a maximum dump height of 39 inches and a hinge pin height of 140.2 inches, the machine is ideal for loading trucks. But MacIntyre says the loader arms also look different from previous Case models. “We have a linear loader arm linkage mechanism that provides a great view of the connector and bucket area. It also allows the cab to tilt forward when the loader arm is in the down position for better access to all components under the cab.”

Inside the cab, the TV620B features 360-degree visibility and an 8-inch split-screen display that shows both the rearview camera and equipment information. The cab-wide rearview mirror allows you to see to the rear of the machine. Large windows provide a view from the front of the machine to the attachments, as well as optimal visibility to the side and rear of the machine.

Ground-level maintenance points allow easy access to critical components. “The rear of the machine has an oversized engine compartment, so components can be easily accessed for routine inspections,” MacIntyre said. “Our battery is located in a separate panel from the battery and main disconnect switch. It’s easily accessible – you don’t need to open the rear hood for that.”

The combination of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR), diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology allows the machine to meet emissions standards. The TV620B does not have a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and does not require regeneration, reducing downtime. An adjustable, hydraulically redirected fan minimizes debris buildup in the engine compartment.

Production of the TV620B is underway and customers can expect to see it in dealerships in the fourth quarter of 2021.
