at any time .
Last year Bron launched its newest series of Mulcher Models , the 490 and 590 replacing the previous generation 475 and 500 . Both new machines are powered by a fuel efficient Cummins QSX15 Tier-3i 15 litre engine .
The 490 is rated at a 480 hp peak at 1,800 rpm . The 590 is rated at a 589 hp peak at 1,800 rpm . The increased speed rating over the previous models provides additional range for the engine to operate and results in improved efficiency by using less fuel per horsepower .
Hydraulic power comes from proven closed-loop pumps for both track drives and mulching head , providing awesome performance and control for high productivity . Purpose-built frames unique between the two models incorporate new oscillating track frames . D4 is standard on the 490
The new BRON 590 Mulchers has improved stability and operator comfort , longer operating between fuel filling , and lower noise with increased heat rejection capabilities
and the D5 is optional . The 590 comes standard with D5 tracks . These tracks are powered by heavy-duty planetary drives that are matched to the size of the selected undercarriage . Two specially designed extreme service heat exchangers are designed for improved cooling in even the hottest climates . They are optimally positioned to draw cool / clean air in from the rear of the tractor , then directed alongside the engine , maximizing air-flow efficiency , reducing wasted horsepower and excessive noise .
The open area between the heat exchangers also provides ample room for service to the front of the engine .
