CASE Construction Equipment launched the second leg of its Groundbreaker Roadshow celebrating the CASE Minotaur DL550 compact dozer loader — a first-of-its-kind machine and an all-new equipment category launched in 2022.

The all-new machine was named to all major year-end awards lists, including Construction Equipment magazine’s Top 100 New Products; Compact Equipment’s Innovative Iron awards; and Heavy Equipment Guide’s Top Introductions for 2022.

Attendees of The Groundbreaker Roadshow will experience the Minotaur firsthand while enjoying a day on the lot with chances for prizes and giveaways. The second leg of the Groundbreaker Roadshow kicked off on January 17 in St. Louis with Luby Equipment, and will travel all throughout the midwestern, western, southern and mid-Atlantic U.S. through March.

The CASE Minotaur DL550 compact dozer loader

Weighing in at more than 18,000 pounds and working with 114 horsepower, the new machine delivers true dozing and grading performance, as well as powerful site loading capabilities and compatibility with hundreds of attachments. A single platform has never delivered this level of versatility, power and precision — all culminating in an entirely new product category created by CASE: the compact dozer loader.

The hallmark advancement of the CASE Minotaur DL550 is the chassis-integrated C-frame with six-way dozer blade. The C-frame hydraulically couples into both the chassis of the machine, as well as the attachment coupler. This design provides the stability and smooth operating plane of a small dozer while ensuring that all operating power is channeled through the whole body of the machine. This establishes greater performance and long-term reliability than the simple combination of a dozer blade attachment to a traditional compact track loader.

It also comes standard with CASE Universal Machine Control, which makes the machine ready for any of the major three providers of machine control technology, which are sold separately. It’s also available with an optional, industry-exclusive fully integrated ripper for tearing up tough terrain to simplify dozing and earthmoving operations.
The C-frame is then detached to allow the operator to use it as a loader with a heavy-duty 1.25-cubic-yard bucket, or with hundreds of common loader attachments many equipment owners already have in their fleet.
