the center of a truck for faster loading and
increased payloads.
CASE has also added a standard panel
of dipper teeth on the bottom surface of
the dipper, along with optional extension/
replacement aggressive hardened-steel
teeth that can expand the area of the dipper
covered. The dipper teeth enable the ma-
chine operator to secure unusually shaped or
oversized pieces of debris or rock by pinning
those objects against the dipper with the
bottom of the bucket. The dipper teeth not
only provide superior control of materials be-
ing moved, but they also protect the dipper
from excessive wear.
N Series backhoes also feature remote
hydraulic test ports that allow easy, ground-
level access for service diagnosis, helping
to keep the machine up and running and
reduce costly downtime.

Larson Cable Trailers offers some of the
most reliable, versatile, and rugged cable
handling trailers on the market. Rick Larson
is a contractor who saw a need for a trailer
that would do more than just haul a reel. He
would sit by and watch as his plow train sat
idle while his crew figure 8’ed fiber by hand
and knew there had to be a solution to keep
the plow train rolling. That’s where the idea
for a cable handling trailer came from, and
over the last 10 years it has grown into a
line of trailers with attachments available to
help contractors increase production while
decreasing labor costs and downtime.
Larson’s Figure 8 attachment has been
around since day one and is invaluable when
it comes to figure 8’ing fiber optic cable.
What used to be a 5-6 worker operation
is now a 2-person operation. The Honda
engine does not seem to care what the
temperature is outside or how heavy the
cable is, it just keeps on running. Tested and
approved by most fiber optic manufactur-
ers, this attachment has very little chance of
damaging the cable.
In 2010, with the help of Condux Inter-
national, Larson added a small fiber blower
to its line of attachments. With no tracks or
electronics, this blower is maintenance free
and easy to use.
In 2015, Larson will introduce a
10,000-pound capacity trailer and a simple
reel trailer, with limited attachments, meant
for safe transporting of reels. The company is
constantly looking for new ways to help the
contractor improve production with simple
attachments to its trailer.
