The 

Top 10 

Equipment 

Acquisition 

Trends for 

2016 

The Equipment Leasing and 

Finance Association releases their 

predictions for the coming year. 

By Jordan Snyder 

The Equipment Leasing and 

Finance Association (ELFA), 

which represents the $1 trillion 

equipment finance sector, 

released the Top 10 Equipment 

Acquisition Trends for the year in 

mid January. According to ELFA 

CEO, Ralph Petta, 

"To assist businesses in planning 

their acquisition strategies, we 

have distilled recent research 

data, including the Equipment 

Leasing & Finance Foundation's 

2016 Equipment Leasing & 

Finance U.S. Economic Outlook 

Report, industry participants' 

expertise and member input from 

ELFA meetings and conferences 

to provide our best insight for the 

Top 10 Equipment Acquisition 

Trends for 2016.” The association 

predicts that 2016 will be a prime 

year for small businesses to 

make investments, here’s what 

else they had to say: 


3


1 

US investment in equipment and software will 

hit a new high in 2016; however businesses 

will only see moderate growth. Following a 

sustained period of increased GDP along with 

manufacturing weaknesses, a global uncertainty, 

low oil prices, and concerns that the investment 

cycle may have peaked, businesses will be 

discourage from spending. Those factors are 

expected to moderate investment growth rates. 

2 

The end of the zero interest rate policy will 

encourage small businesses to invest before rates 

increase. After the Federal Reserve enacted the first 

short-term interest rate increase in nearly 10 years, 

it’s expected that they’ll gradually make additional 

rate increases throughout the year. Small businesses 

that would have been hesitant to spend will likely be 

more inclined to try to take advantage of current low 

rates before they continue to increase. 

3 

The growth of equipment acquired through 

financing will increase solidly, but slowly. 

A projected $1.627 trillion will be invested in plant, 

equipment and software. Of that, it is expected 

that approximately 64% will be financed through 

loans, leases and lines of credit. However, despite 

an increase in volume and the propensity to 

finance, businesses will still remain hesitant to 

expand, slowing the rate of growth. 

4 

Businesses will prepare for the new lease 

accounting rules after years of anticipation. 

The new standard will change how leases are 

accounted for on corporate balance sheets; 

however, it will not impact the ability of companies 

to acquire equipment to grow their businesses. 

Under the new rules, the primary reasons to lease 

equipment such as maintaining cash flow and 

preserving capital will remain intact. 

5 

China’s problems will become everyone’s problems. 

As China experiences a sharp slowdown in their 

economy, the ripple effect will be felt globally. 

Since only 7% of U.S. exports are sent to China, 

our economy will not take as big of a hit as others. 

However, U.S. manufacturers are likely to feel the 

impact of reduced demand from China’s trading 

partners like Russia and Japan, as their economies 

absorb the effects of China’s slowdown. 

4

6 

Equipment investment is gaining momentum, but not 

for every type of equipment. In the coming year, it is 

expected that some equipment verticals will account 

for weakness in business investment, while others 

simultaneously gain momentum. The underperformers 

are expected to be agriculture, mining and oilfield, 

railroad, industrial and materials handling equipment. 

On the positive side, medical equipment, as well as 

computers and software are getting stronger. An 

improving housing sector means construction 

equipment is also expected to remain solid. 

8 

The recent dip in oil prices will continue to impede 

energy equipment investments. The improved U.S. 

oil industry efficiency and increased oil supplies from 

China, Argentina and Iran caused global oil production 

levels to elevate and Americans to breathe a sigh of 

relief at the pump for the first time in years. Though 

the sustained low oil prices were positive for drivers 

across the U.S., they are expected to continue to 

dampen energy equipment investments. 

7 

The popularity of non-standard financing agreements 

is likely to increase as customers continue to demand 

greater flexibility and convenience. However, these 

deals are not expected to replace standard leases. 

Customer preference has shifted to managed services 

that bundle equipment, services, supplies and software, 

as well as pay-per-use leases and alternative financing. 

Equipment finance companies are expected to meet 

customer expectations by finding innovative new 

ways to fill the demand of making these non-standard 

financing methods a larger part of their financing. 

9 

The 2016 presidential election could mean 

potential policy shifts. As President Obama’s 

final term comes to an end, Americans are met 

with a diverse group of potential candidates. 

Though it is still unclear now what policy 

changes should be expected, whoever takes 

office may make changes that give businesses 

new factors to weigh when making their 

equipment acquisition plans.

Looming “wild cards” could influence business investment decisions. The future is uncertain for many markets. 

The housing market is poised for a breakout year and the current low inventory of homes will either cause real estate 

prices to surge, giving any potential buyers sticker shock, or it will cause construction investment to skyrocket. 

The U.S. labor market is getting stronger as we finally recover from the recession, which could accelerate wage 

growth, causing consumer confidence and spending to rise. However, it 

could also spur inflation and encourage the Federal Reserve to raise 

interest rates faster than expected. Finally, the darkest wild card is the 

continuing threat of terrorist attacks. The threat of attacks continues 

to loom large over many throughout the world in the wake of the Paris 

attacks. Recently, at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing 

on Capitol Hill, top U.S. intelligence officials announced that they 

predict that terrorists attacks will only increase and they will not 

only conduct additional attacks in Europe, but also attempt 

direct attacks on the U.S. homeland in 2016. From a business 

standpoint, that continued threat could present economic 

and policy implications that could divert capital spending 

resources in both the short and long term.

Toolcat 

5600/5610 

By Janet Kozak 

The Toolcat 5600 and 5610 Utility Work Machines from Bobcat are both a jack-of-all-trades: 

part skid steer, part compact tractor, part utility vehicle – even part pickup truck. 

The versatility of the Toolcat allows the operator to accomplish many tasks with one 

machine, saving both time and money. Those tasks require both power and precision and the 

Toolcat has both in spades. The Toolcat has the power to operate 40+ attachments and, 

unlike a skid steer, it has minimal ground disturbance. Add in the capacity to haul up to 2,000 

lbs. of payload in its hydraulically operated dump bed, the ability to tow up to 4,000 lbs., a 

formidable 1500 lb. lift capacity, and a 17 mph travel speed, and it’s easy to understand why 

the Toolcat will swiftly become the most-used machine in your entire fleet.

With the Toolcat, you won’t waste time and effort jumping 

from one machine to the other. Bobcat offers dozens of 

compatible attachments for the Toolcat that can both 

maximize your production and your return on investment. 

The attachments are changed quickly and easily, enabling 

the operator to mow in the morning, remove downed trees 

in the afternoon, and even dig post holes in the evening. It’s 

easy to leverage the investment in different ways all year 

long. Depending on your seasonal needs, you can buy the 

Bobcat attachments you use the most, like a snow blower 

or sweeper, and rent others, like a chipper, for infrequent 

projects. 

Bobcat has the cleanest, 

fastest, and most 

durable attachment 

changing system in 

the industry. They use 

pressure-relief couplers 

for easy hookup with 

hydraulically powered 

Bobcat attachments. 

Simply push the coupler 

inward and any oil 

trapped in the line will be 

released back into the 

machine. Additionally, 

with both the standard 

Bob-Tach and optional 

Power Bob-Tach 

mounting systems, you 

can change attachments 

in 60 seconds or less. 

With the optional Power 

Bob-Tach system you 

can replace a bucket 

with a landscape rake, 

tree boom, or pallet forks in less than a minute without 

leaving your seat. With the flip of a switch from the 

cab, the Power Bob-Tach mounting system engages 

the wedge-shaped wear compensating pins into the 

attachment you’re using. The system also keeps the levers 

in the locked position, using continuous charge pressure 

to ensure the attachment is secure. It’s fast, easy and you 

don’t need any tools. Bobcat invented this system over 35 

years ago, and it comes standard on all Bobcat loaders. 

Simply put the machine into work mode to get the precise 

creeping movements you need, use the ergonomic joystick 

to line up with the attachment, lock the levers, and go. 

Since its inception, the Toolcat has proved its usefulness 

in both building and grounds maintenance. It also shines 

as a strong working machine for the agricultural and 

landscaping industries. The Toolcat is often compared 

to compact utility tractors (CUTs) and skid steers, but 

its features make sure it stands in a class all its own. 

Whereas a skid steer may be able to lift higher and have 

better clearance and traction, it has less front-end weight 

than the Toolcat. The maneuverability of the all-wheel 

steering also means the Toolcat can turn tight with 

minimal ground disturbance. When compared to a CUT, 

the Toolcat blows its competition out of the water with 

the ability to run numerous different hydraulic attachments 

in the front and category 1 implements in the back. You 

also have the option to add on a three point hitch and PTO 

to fully maximize its versatility. 

In the comfortable 

Toolcat climate 

controlled cab that 

can easily carry two 

people, there’s no 

need to search for 

buttons or switches. 

Intuitive and ergonomic 

controls on the joystick 

allow you to operate 

attachments without 

having to look away 

from your work. Use the 

joystick to control all 

attachment functions, 

such as rotating a 

snow blower chute or 

adjusting the angle of 

a soil conditioner. The 

automatic dual direction 

detent also allows for 

continuous hydraulic 

flow to the attachments 

making it easier to use 

sweepers and tillers. Even the windshield wiper button is 

located on the joystick, so you can clear your view without 

stopping or looking away from the action. 

You can also ease stress and strain on your back and 

neck because the Toolcat cab maximizes visibility for the 

operator, giving a full, easy view of all Bobcat attachments. 

This allows for more precise command and control over 

every job. The increased visibility and comfortable cab will 

reduce operator fatigue, thus increasing productivity. 

The combination of power, utility and comfort make this 

one-of-a-kind machine well worth the investment, whether 

you’re plowing snow or planting trees. In an industry where 

efficiency is key, the Toolcat will quickly become your go-to 

machine, saving you time and money while decreasing the 

amount of effort needed for most tasks.

For decades, science fiction writers have warned the public 

about a time when humans will become obsolete, replaced 

entirely by the machines they created. Through the years, 

automation has increased in many aspects of our lives. 

If you’ve ever been through the self-checkout line at the 

grocery store, you know there are quite a few kinks to 

work out before it’s time to worry about a robot uprising. 

Nonetheless, new advancements in technology have 

always been met with initial hesitation before becoming 

fully embraced. 

However, when it comes to the use of Unmanned Aircraft 

Systems (UAS) or as they’re more commonly known, 

drones, it seems that Americans are eager to see the 

benefits of this new technology. Late last year, in response 

to the growing popularity of drones, the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announced new regulations 

requiring all drones to be registered by February 19, 

2016. A week before the deadline, more than 325,000 

people had registered to pilot a drone. To put that number 

in perspective, there are only 320,000 piloted aircrafts 

currently registered with the FAA. 

While drones are great for spying on your neighbors 

or getting a cool aerial shot for a wedding video, 

technological advancements have made them an 

important tool for people in both the agriculture and 

construction industries. Juniper Research recently 

released a report that predicts the sale of commercial 

drones will skyrocket 84% this year, with 48% coming from 

the agriculture industry. In addition to that, the Association 

for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International expects 

that agriculture will make up 80% of the future market for 

commercial drones. The reason being, while drones stand 

to improve how numerous industries operate, it could 

revolutionize the farming industry.

Traditionally, farming has involved a great deal of leg 

work, checking each individual plant for weeds, bugs, dry 

soil and any other signs that the crop might not make 

it to harvest. Even with such close care, problems like 

nitrogen deficiency or diminished photosynthesis cannot 

be identified with the naked eye. Technological innovations 

have made the job easier. Modern machinery, soil testing, 

and ground-based sensors for crop monitoring have 

certainly helped. 

construction sites are typically large and complex, properly 

managing them can be difficult. The drone could soon 

become a contractor’s best friend. Drones can be used 

to survey locations for proposed structures, monitor job 

sites to ensure safe practices, and inspect bridges or 

other structures. Real-time awareness has always been a 

challenge on construction sites. It can be difficult to know 

if a piece of equipment is where it needs to be or if workers 

are on the right project. The use of drones could reduce 

costly mistakes and empower leaders on construction 

Today, the use of drones enables farmers to practice 

precision agriculture, which uses geospatial data and 

sensors to micro-target fields for better growth. Remote 

sensors on drones can scan crops for health problems, 

monitor hydration and growth rates, and locate 

diseased areas. With this information, farmers can 

apply pesticides and fertilizers to specific areas in need, 

rather than spray the entire field. This method could 

reduce the need for fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides 

and fungicides, which are all known to pollute local 

waterways. In addition to saving the farmer money by 

reducing the need for labor, drone use in agriculture has 

the added benefit of reducing the environmental impact 

that farming has on the Earth. 

A 2009 report from the National Research Council of 

the National Academies found that construction lags 

behind other industries, such as manufacturing, in terms 

of productivity. The report goes on to say that these 

productivity issues can be attributed to problems with 

planning, coordination, and communication. As most 

sites with real-time information. This helps them analyze 

the progress of a project, leading to greater efficiencies in 

time and costs. Drones can also be an incredible marketing 

tool, giving the contractor the ability to show potential 

clients impressive aerial footage of completed projects. 

Currently, drones are being used to monitor the site of 

the Sacramento Kings’ new stadium in California. Once a 

day, drones patrol the work site, collecting video footage 

that is then converted into a three-dimensional picture 

of the site. The picture is then fed into software, recently 

developed at the University of Illinois that will compare it 

to computerized architectural plans and the construction 

work plan that shows when each element should be 

finished. After comparing the images, the software 

can alert site managers to the progress of the project, 

highlighting parts that may be falling behind schedule. 

With all of the advantages that eyes in the skies could 

give various industries, it is no wonder that drones have 

become increasingly popular for commercial use. However,

America is one of the last countries to hop on the drone 

bandwagon. Countries across Europe, Asia and South 

America have been using drones for commercial purposes 

for some time. Canada has been allowing drone use in 

agriculture for years, and Japan alone has an estimated 

10,000 drones in use for agricultural purposes. 

With such a surge in popularity, countries have had 

different approaches to maintaining control of their 

airspace. Japan’s police department has an anti-drone 

police unit that uses 

drones to catch other 

drones operating illegally. 

The Netherlands enlisted 

the help of “Guard from 

Above” to give them 

a decidedly low-tech 

approach to a high-tech 

problem – training birds 

of prey, like bald eagles, 

to take down hostile or 

lost drones. 

While that may seem 

like the most American 

answer to a problem, the 

FAA is not turning to bald 

eagles to monitor the 

airspace just yet. Instead, 

they have simply decided 

to implement a list of 

rules to which drones 

must adhere. These include not flying higher than 400 

feet from the ground and requiring all drones being used 

for anything other than recreation to obtain a type and 

airworthiness certificate, or a grant of exemption issued 

under Section 333. 

In an attempt to help businesses circumvent the red tape, 

Illinois representatives Rodney Davis and Cheri Bustos 

recently introduced an amendment that, if passed, would 

let companies fly drones weighing less than 4.4 pounds for 

commercial purposes without FAA approval. 

“This commonsense amendment will remove bureaucratic 

red tape and allow for the responsible use of small drones,” 

said Davis in a statement. “This new classification will 

spur innovation and help small manufacturers like Horizon 

Hobby, which specializes in manufacturing drones for 

agriculture use, expand and create jobs.” 

The amendment was attached to the FAA’s budget bill, 

which also proposes removing the country’s air traffic 

control system from government oversight to a nonprofit 

board and creates a committee to oversee a drone 

air traffic control system. According to Davis, countries 

like Canada, Mexico and Australia have similar drone 

exemptions for businesses. 

If passed, the amendment could kick start the transition 

to a technology that the Association for Unmanned 

Vehicle Systems expects will create 70,000 new jobs in 

the U.S. over the next three years. While nothing is set in 

stone just yet, lawmakers are hoping to finalize the bill 

before funding expires on March 31. Regardless of the 

outcome, in just a few short years, seeing a drone whiz by 

could be just as commonplace as seeing a flock of birds, 

though, for the drone’s sake, let’s hope none of those are 

birds of prey.

"The 

only way to 

have clean and 

reliable water is to 

have infrastructure 

that is up to the 

task." 

By Mehmood Ali 

Access to clean water is a basic 

necessity for humans, but without 

a well maintained and reliable 

wastewater infrastructure, drinking 

water supplies are constantly at 

risk for contamination. According 

to a recent survey released by the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA), $271 billion is needed to 

maintain and improve the nation’s 

wastewater infrastructure. As 

shocking as that number may sound, it 

shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. 

After all, some parts of the wastewater 

infrastructure in New York were 

installed before the Statue of Liberty 

ever made it stateside. In addition 

to that, nearly 850 water breaks are 

reported in America each day. 

“The only way to have clean and 

reliable water is to have infrastructure 

that is up to the task,” said Joel 

Beauvais, EPA’s Acting Deputy 

Assistant Administrator for Water. “Our 

nation has made tremendous progress 

in modernizing our treatment plants 

and pipes in recent decades, but this 

survey tells us that a great deal of 

work remains.” 

The $271 billion figure is divided into 

various fronts. It is estimated that 

$52 billion is needed for secondary 

wastewater treatment, which is the 

process of removing dissolved and 

colloidal compounds measured 

as biochemical oxygen demand 

(BOD) until the sewage reaches a 

certain degree of effluent quality. 

Approximately $50 billion is needed 

to improve advanced wastewater 

treatment, which is the final stage 

of further improving the effluent 

quality of the wastewater before it 

is discharged into the environment. 

$51 billion is needed for conveyance 

system repair, a system that not only 

monitors the city’s wastewater and 

storm water lines, but also repairs 

them as the need arises. In addition 

to the money going toward repairing 

existing conveyance systems, $45 

billion is going toward installing new 

conveyance systems. To fix the issues 

of surface runoff, $48 billion is needed 

for the sewer overflow correction. In 

times of heavy storms where excess 

18

Articles 

water is a problem, $19 billion is 

needed for storm water management 

programs. Water is a scarce renewable 

resource, and to combat that, 

wastewater is often recycled. To keep 

that practice going, $6 billion will be 

needed for recycled water distribution. 

Now that the infrastructure problems 

have been laid out, who is going 

to foot the bill to fix them? That’s 

not entirely clear. In 2015, the EPA 

launched the Water Infrastructure and 

Resiliency Finance Center to work with 

communities to figure out innovative 

solutions to funding these necessary 

improvements. They also established 

Regional Environmental Finance 

Centers to work with communities 

across the nation to create sustainable 

“how to pay” solutions for their 

environmental goals, helping them 

make informed funding decisions that 

best meet their specific local needs. In 

addition to that, the Clean Water State 

Revolving Fund has been providing 

low-interest loans totaling $111 billion 

since 1987. Of that, $5.8 billion has 

been provided in 2015 alone. Grant 

funding is also available through 

the Alaska Native Villages and Rural 

Communities program, the Clean Water 

Indian Set-Aside, and the U.S.-Mexico 

Border Water Infrastructure program. 

The wastewater infrastructure 

developments would not only sustain 

healthy lives by ensuring clean and 

sanitized water, but also create jobs 

for many in the construction industry. 

Joel Beauvais believes that in the 

recent years, progress has been made 

in terms of modernizing the treatment 

plants, but the new survey by EPA 

shows that much work still remains. If 

not addressed in a timely manner, the 

cost of repairs and maintenance could 

increase substantially, so we need to 

act sooner than later for a better water 

infrastructure for all.

TRUCKERS 

GO DIGITAL 

FMCSA passes a mandate requiring most 

interstate truckers to switch to Electronic 

Logging Devices by 2017 


22

Articles 

In December 2015 the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor 

Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced the adoption of a Final Rule 

aiming to improve roadway safety. The mandate’s goal is to employ technology 

to strengthen both commercial truck and bus drivers’ compliance with fatigue 

prevention hours-of-service regulations. 

“Since 1938, complex, on-duty/off-duty logs for truck and bus drivers were made 

with pencil and paper, virtually impossible to verify,” said U.S. Transportation 

Secretary Anthony Foxx in a press release. “This automated technology not 

only brings logging records into the modern age, it also allows roadside safety 

inspectors to unmask violations of federal law that put lives at risk.” 

The mandate aims to replace outdated paper logs, which many drivers use to 

record their compliance with Hours of Service (HOS) requirements, by requiring 

the majority of interstate truckers to use an approved electronic logging device 

(ELD) to record their Record of Duty Status (RODS). The initial announcement 

of this rule was met with mixed reviews. Some 

supported the rule, saying it was a sensible and 

long overdue safety rule, while others said there 

was no issue with the pen and paper logbooks, 

adding that ELDs usually have the effect of 

pushing drivers even harder during their duty time. 

The 

Electronic 

Logging 

Device 

Mandate for 

the Trucking 

Industry 

The FMCSA says that limiting the 

location tracking of ELDs to reduced 

proximities will help safeguard drivers 

against harassment from carriers. 

After releasing a proposed version of the rule in March of 2014, the FMCSA opened the floor 

for comments. By the end of the comment period, they had received over 2,000 comments 

from individuals, most of which found fault with the rule. The FMCSA took the feedback 

and went back to the drawing board, releasing a 516-page finalized version of the rule on 

December 11 the following year. 

According to the FMCSA, the rule, which goes into effect December 18, 2017, is expected to 

save the industry $1 billion per year in reduced time and paperwork. In addition to that, the 

FMCSA was able to quantify the impact the rule will have on driver safety, stating it will save 

26 lives and prevent 562 injuries every year. 

The mandate will apply to all drivers who are required to keep RODS, but there are some 

exceptions. Drivers who keep RODS for only 8 days or fewer during a 30-day work period, 

drivers in drive-away and tow-away operations, and truckers operating vehicles older 

than model year 2000 are exempt. Carriers and drivers that are currently using Automatic 

Onboard Recording Devices (AOBRDs) or that install them prior to the 2017 compliance date 

will have a two-year implementation period to replace the AOBRDs with ELDs. Drivers who 

do not fall into any of those categories will be required to have an ELD installed and in use by 

December 18, 2017. After December 16, 2019, the two-year implementation term for AOBRDs 

users ends, requiring all drivers and carriers subject to the rule to use certified, registered 

ELDs that comply with requirements of the ELD regulations.

edits, the driver must approved them 

before they’re added to the RODS to 

protect them from unilateral changes. 

Compliant ELDs must be able to automatically record date, time, location 

information as well as engine hours, vehicle miles, and the ID information of the 

driver using the device. In addition to that, the device must be able to transfer 

data during roadside inspections on demand via email, wireless web-based 

services, USB 2.0 or Bluetooth. The rule also requires ELDs present a graph 

grid of a driver’s daily duty status changes on either the units themselves, or in 

printouts. 

The ELDs, however, are not required to track a vehicle or drive in real-time, nor 

are they required to include driver-carrier communication capabilities. The 

reason for this is likely due to the fact that a 2012 version of the mandate was 

scrapped because it didn’t include any protection for drivers to prevent being 

harassed during their off-duty hours. ELDs will only provide an approximate 

location, within a 1-mile radius, while the driver is on-duty. The FMCSA says 

that limiting the location tracking of ELDs to reduced proximities will help 

safeguard drivers against harassment from carriers. ELDs are also required to 

have a mute function so messages and alerts don’t interrupt drivers’ off-duty 

rest periods. 

Though the mandate aims to streamline the record-keeping process in the 

trucking industry, it still requires drivers and carriers to retain supporting 

documents to verify HOS compliance. Drivers must submit their RODS and 

supporting documents to the motor carrier no more than 13 days after 

receiving them and the motor carrier is not permitted to retain more than eight 

supporting documents for each 24-hour period the driver is on duty. Each 

supporting document must have the driver’s name, the date, their location and 

the time. 

The driver or carrier is allowed to edit ELD records, but the mandate establishes 

new protocol for edits that aims to protect the records from manipulative 

editing. The device’s original record will always be maintained and all users 

must use their unique login ID so their edits can be tracked and annotations 

can be kept transparent. If a driver or carrier does edit the ELD, they must 

include a note that explains the reason for the edit. Even if the carrier makes 

Whether they think that the mandate 

is a much-needed step up from 

the antiquated logging methods 

used today, or an unnecessary 

“Big Brother” style invasion from 

the government, members of the 

industry no longer have a choice in 

the matter. The rule officially took 

effect on February 16 of this year, 

giving carriers and drivers a two-year 

window from the December 11, 2015, 

publication date to the December 18, 

2017, compliance date to prepare 

for the changes. With any change in 

policy or upgrade in technology there 

is bound to be push back, but the ELD 

aims to bring more accountability 

into the trucking industry to keep 

the roads safe and the drivers 

happy. With time, the switch to 

ELDs will seem no more outlandish 

than switching from clocking in by 

stamping a time card to logging in 

electronically in an attempt to prevent 

payroll fraud. 

This automated 

technology 

not only brings 

logging records 

into the modern 

age, it also allows 

roadside safety 

inspectors to 

unmask violations 

of federal law that 

put lives at risk.

MX-11 

ENGINE 

Paccar releases their 

first lightweight, fuelefficient 

engine. 


With fanfare and excitement Peterbilt’s first lightweight, fuel 

efficient production PACCAR MX-11 engine was recently installed 

in the company’s newest vocational truck, the Model 567, in a 

set-forward front axle configuration. The engine, which has been 

available in European markets for a few years but has made its 

first official appearance stateside, is said to be fuel-efficient 

without sacrificing power. 

The PACCAR MX-11 engine is the newest addition to the 

Peterbilt catalog and the second option in Paccar’s MX lineup, 

joining the MX-13, which has already sold over 100,000 units. 

The PACCAR MX-11 engine is characterized by its combination 

of proven technologies and state-of-the-art innovations. It’s 

optimized for integration with Peterbilt’s aerodynamic Model 

579 and vocational Model 567 trucks. The PACCAR MX-11 

28

Articles 

will appreciate the responsiveness, 

performance, and quiet operation of 

the PACCAR MX-11 engine running in 

their Peterbilt trucks. The rear-mounted 

gear train and floating oil pan both help 

reduce engine vibrations and noise, 

providing drivers with a quieter operating 

environment and smoother ride. 

provides outstanding value in its design – exceeding both 

Peterbilt’s high standards and customer expectations. 

“The PACCAR MX-11 will bring new levels of performance, 

durability, reliability and overall return for customers,” said 

Robert Woodall, Peterbilt Assistant General Manager of 

Sales and Marketing. “It is lightweight and fuel efficient, 

making it an ideal power choice for customers in a wide 

range of applications, including regional haul, tanker, bulk 

haul, construction and refuse.” 

PACCAR engines are designed for optimized heavy-duty 

performance in Kenworth, Peterbilt, and DAF Trucks. The 

technologically advanced PACCAR MX-11 engine is designed 

and manufactured to deliver not only the highest levels of 

quality and performance, but also reliability, durability, and 

greater overall return on investment. 

The innovative design of the 10.8-liter PACCAR MX-11 

engine is equipped to meet the demands of the industry. 

The engine also hits the sweet spot for many customers 

who need a lighter engine that still provides ample 

horsepower and torque. The PACCAR MX-11 features 

an outstanding power-to-weight ratio, clocking in at 

400 pounds lighter than other 13-liter engines while 

providing customers both a boost in payload capacity 

and fuel efficiency. 

The sophisticated calibration of the common rail fuel 

system with high injection pressures of 2,500 bar, 

optimize combustion for low fuel consumption, low 

emissions, and reduced noise levels as well. Drivers 

The MX-11 engine also has an output of 

355 to 430 horsepower with torque ratings 

ranging from 1,250 to 1,550 lbs per ft. It 

also has six inline cylinders and a double 

overhead camshaft design, and is the only 

commercial diesel engine to use Compacted 

Graphite Iron (CGI) in both the engine 

block and cylinder head. CGI is roughly 20 

percent lighter and 75 percent stronger than 

traditional gray iron, making the MX-11 a 

lightweight and more durable alternative to 

comparable Cummins ISX12 or PACCAR MX- 

13 engines. 

With an industry-leading B10 life of one million miles, 

engineers have planned for the future and designed the 

engine to allow quick updates with new software the ability 

to be programmed to meet specific customer requirements 

so owners can keep their vehicles for years to come. 

The engine will be produced at PACCAR’s Columbus, MS 

engine manufacturing plant, a 450,000 square-foot facility 

opened in 2010, where the MX-13 engine is also produced. 

In a recent PACCAR press release, Darrin Siver, Peterbilt 

General Manager and PACCAR Vice President, shared his 

assurance of the superior manufacturing facility. 

“PACCAR’s investment in its North American engine 

facility has ensured it is the most modern, technologically 

advanced and highest quality engine manufacturing plant 

in the world,” he stated. “A highly skilled and well trained 

workforce, complemented by cutting-edge robotics and 

automation, ensure PACCAR engines are of the highest 

reliability, durability and quality.” 

With over 50 years of engine development and 

manufacturing expertise behind it, PACCAR has created 

a revolutionary engine that meets the needs for a wide 

variety of over the road and vocational applications. Now 

that PACCAR has launched their MX-11 engine in North 

America, the powerful, lightweight engine is available in 

DAF, Kenworth and Peterbuilt trucks. If the award-winning 

PACCAR MX-13 engine tells us anything, it’s that the MX-11 

is sure to be a smash hit in the states.

FMCSA 

PROPOSES 

NEW RULE FOR 

DETERMINING 

MOTOR CARRIER 

SAFETY FITNESS 

By Jordan Snyder 

On January 21st of this year, the Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Association (FMCSA) published their proposal for 

a new rule, called the Safety Fitness Determination (SFD), 

that would change the way it rates carriers and determines 

their overall safety fitness to operate. First announced on 

January 15, the rule has been in the works since early 2007, 

if approved it would enhance the agency’s ability to identify 

non-compliant motor carriers. 

"Ensuring that motor carriers are operating safely on our 

nation's roadways is one of our highest priorities," said U.S. 

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. "Using all available 

information to achieve more timely assessments will allow 

us to better identify unsafe companies and get them off 

the road." 

This rule will replace the current three-tier federal rating 

system, in place since 1982, which labels carriers as 

satisfactory, conditional or unsatisfactory with a single 

determination of “unfit.” Carriers labeled unfit will be 

required to either improve or cease their operations. The 

rule updates FMCSA’s safety fitness rating methodology 

by integrating on-road safety data from inspections, along 

with the results of carrier investigations and crash reports 

to determine a motor carrier’s overall safety fitness on a 

monthly basis. 

"This update to our methodology will help the agency focus 

on carriers with a higher crash risk," said FMCSA Acting 

Administrator Scott Darling. "Carriers that we identify as 

unfit to operate will be removed from our roadways until 

they improve." 

The proposed rule will determine whether or not a carrier 

is unfit to be operating commercial motor vehicles in or 

affecting interstate commerce based on the following 

three factors: The carrier’s performance in relation to a 

fixed failure threshold established in the rule for five of 

the agency’s Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement 

Categories (BASICs), investigation results, and a 

combination of on-road safety data and investigation 

information. 

This update to their methodology will further 

incorporate rigorous data sufficiency standards and 

will require a significant, documented pattern of noncompliance 

for a carrier to fail a BASIC. In order for 

a carrier to become eligible to be identified as “unfit” 

they must have had a minimum of 11 inspections with 

violations in a single BASIC within a two-year period. 

Under the current system, ratings are only given to 

carriers after completing a compliance review, which 

seldom happens more than once a year. The FMCSA is 

32

Articles 

"Ensuring that motor carriers are operating 

safely on our nation's roadways is one of our 

highest priorities" 

only able to investigate 15,000 motor carriers per year 

with the current system, but with the new SFD rule in 

place, they’ll be able to assess the safety fitness of 

approximately 75,000 companies per month. The FCMSA 

estimates that less than 300 motor carriers each year 

would be deemed “unfit” based solely on their number 

of on-road safety violations. Analysis from the agency 

has shown that carriers identified through this onroad 

safety data have crash rates nearly four times the 

national average. 

The FMCSA has allotted 60 days for the public to submit 

their comments and evidentiary materials to the docket 

and an additional 30 days following that, which will allow 

commenters to respond to initial comments. However, 

some groups in the industry have been voicing their 

opinion on this proposed rule since before the FMCSA even 

published it in the Federal Register. 

Two days before the FMCSA released their Advanced 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, a coalition of groups, 

including the National Association of Small Trucking 

Companies, Western States Trucking Association, 

the ASECTT group and five others, wrote to Congress 

claiming that the rule the FMCSA would soon announce 

went directly against provisions in the Fixing Americas 

Surface Transportation (FAST) Act passed last 

December. 

There are two provisions of the FAST act that the 

coalition claims the SFD is disregarding. The first states 

that regulatory impact analysis concerning proposed or 

final major rules must consider the impact on different 

segments of the motor carrier industry and on carriers of 

various sizes. Many are worried that the proposal to set 

different failure thresholds for carriers based on exposure, 

sets a different safety bar for small and large carriers. 

“A ‘quickie’ rulemaking on SFD criteria, in which any aspects 

of the agency’s flawed SMS methodology would be treated 

as a given and small-business impacts would be ignored, 

is patently not what Congress intended in the FAST Act,” 

stated in a letter from the coalition. 

The second provision required the National Research 

Council of the National Academies to conduct a study 

on eleven topics relating to CSA, SMS, and the BASICs. 

The study was to be completed within 18 months of the 

enactment of the FAST Act with the FMCSA submitting a 

corrective action plan to address any issues found before 

implementing a new rulemaking procedure. That report 

has yet to be finished or submitted to FMCSA for review. 

Therefore, basing any safety fitness determination on 

roadside compliance and crash statistics developed for 

use in the SMS/CSA methodology is outlawed – with good 

reason. According to the coalition, these statistics have 

already been proven to be untrustworthy. 

A 2014 report from the Government Accountability 

Office (GAO) found that of the 750 different types of 

violations in the FMCSA system, only two had sufficient 

data to establish a substantial and statistically reliable 

relationship with crash risk. Over the past decade, 

Congress and the GAO have repeatedly cited the SMS 

program for data sufficiency problems. These include 

compliance and enforcement anomalies between 

States, the lack of sufficient roadside data to measure 

90 percent of the regulated carries, the inability to 

determine crash preventability in assessing carrier safety 

performance, and the inherent instability of SFDs for 

small carriers based on monthly changes in their on-road 

safety performance data. 

As the weeks have gone by, the coalition has continued 

to voice their rule oppositions to Congress. However, 

despite the push back, the FMCSA has continued to move 

forward with their plan. Most recently, in accordance with 

federal regulatory policy, the agency notified the National 

Governors Association that the proposal “may impact 

some State laws, regulations or regulatory activity.” 

The FMCSA is still hearing public comments on the rule, 

and will continue to do so until March 21, with the following 

30 days reserved for commenters to respond to the initial 

comments. It seems that only time will tell how much of an 

impact those comments will have on the final rule, so far the 

coalition shows no signs of slowing down and will likely not 

stop petitioning Congress until real change is made.

AVIAN FLU 

HIT THE 

MIDWEST 

U.S. Government responds 

quickly after AVIAN FLU 

detected in INDIANA FLOCK 

By Mehmood Ali 

Poultry is one of the most popular forms of protein in 

the American diet, regularly making appearances on our 

tables, whether it’s a fluffy omelet for breakfast, a nice 

turkey sandwich for lunch or a perfectly roasted chicken 

for dinner. We even have entire holidays where eating 

poultry is an integral part of the celebration. Americans 

consume an average of 1.3 billion chicken wings on Super 

Bowl Sunday and 46 million turkeys for Thanksgiving 

Dinner. However, in 2015, it looked like America would 

have to end its love affair with U.S. raised poultry, as 

the poultry industry faced the largest animal-health 

emergency in U.S. history. 

US poultry and egg farmers were caught off guard in 

the summer of 2015 as the Avian flu swept through the 

Midwest, leaving nearly 50 million birds dead in its wake. 

Avian Flu or Bird flu is a type of influenza that is hosted by 

birds, but can also be harmful to many species of animals 

including birds, pigs, horses, whales and even humans. 

The disease was first identified in Italy in the early 1900s, 

and by 1997 a strain of H5N1 was identified as the cause. 

Today, the H5N2 strain is what sent most of the Midwest 

into a state of panic. 

The highly pathogenic virus spreads to healthy birds 

after they come in contact with an infected bird or 

indirectly after coming in contact with contaminated farm 

equipment. The virus is found in the nostrils, eyes, mouth 

and droppings of an infected bird and can be transmitted 

36 

to humans through their feathers, intestines, blood and 

droppings. This makes anyone in charge of slaughtering 

birds prior to sale susceptible to the infection, which can 

be fatal. 

The virus can also survive for quite some time if conditions 

are favorable, making it easy to catch a ride on a poultry 

transportation truck and infect a whole new flock. By 

the end of June 2015, in response to the rapid outbreak 

of the virus, a state of emergency was declared in Iowa, 

Minnesota and Wisconsin. Between December of 2015 

and June the next year, there were 223 reports of infected 

flocks throughout the three states. 

Annually, the U.S. produces almost 9 billion meat chickens, 

360 million laying hens and 240 million turkeys. The rapid 

spread of the virus meant having to kill millions of birds 

that would have been sold, making poultry farmers bear 

the brunt of the economic blow. In addition to killing off 

livestock, the outbreak scared off some of the largest 

purchasers of exported poultry products. China and South 

Korea import $428.5 million worth of poultry each year, but 

after the outbreak they imposed a ban on all U.S. chicken. 

Shortly thereafter, forty other countries imposed their own 

restrictions on U.S. raised poultry. 

In response to the new scarcity of poultry products, the 

laws of supply and demand came in to play and egg 

prices reached a record high. Oddly enough, the avian

Articles 

flu disproportionally affects laying hens. While foreign 

countries were imposing bans on U.S. poultry, 

we were still producing roughly the same amount of meat 

chickens, tipping the scales toward the consumer. 

This caused the price of poultry meat to take a nosedive, 

while simultaneously causing the price of eggs to 

skyrocket. While the changes in pricing may have been 

good for consumers, the poultry producers took a near 

devastating blow, showing a loss of $957 million in profits 

in Iowa alone. In total, officials say the 2015 outbreak cost 

the poultry industry $3.3 billion. 

Thankfully, the virus doesn’t thrive in the heat, so as the 

summer wore on and temperatures kept rising, reports 

of the virus slowed and it seemed that the epidemic was 

finally behind us. However, USDA officials feared that the 

reoccurrence of the virus was “highly probable” in the fall 

when temperatures begin to cool back down. That fear 

became a reality in mid-January of 2016 when 10 cases of 

the virus were confirmed in commercial flocks in Indiana. 

This time, the avian flu reared its ugly head in the form of a 

strain never before seen in the country, H7N8. 

The government was quick to spring into action, hoping to 

contain the outbreak and avoid mistakes made last year. 

According to T.J. Myers, associate deputy administrator 

at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal & Plant 

Inspection Service, the biggest mistake made during the 

outbreak of 2015 was taking far too long to depopulate the 

affected flocks. 

"We are hopeful that as we respond very quickly to this 

virus that we can get it contained and hopefully not see an 

extensive outbreak like we did last year," Myers said in an 

interview on January 18, three days after the first case of 

avian flu was confirmed. 

This time, they were quick to quarantine the area with 

affected flocks, and begin depopulating. Flocks of birds 

were tested and it was found that only the turkeys tested 

positive for the virus while the chickens were negative. 

Regardless, both chickens and turkeys were euthanized 

to err on the side of caution. In all, 258,325 turkeys and 

156,178 chickens were destroyed. 

“In the poultry business, there’s a positive determination 

that this new strain not have any chance at proving what 

it might be able to do,” said Keith Williams, a spokesman 

for the National Turkey Federation, in an interview with 

Reuters News Service. 

According to Denise Derrer of the Indiana Board of Animal 

Health, they’re optimistic that the disease has been 

contained, but they’re still testing commercial flocks on 

a daily basis to ensure that Indiana’s flocks will make it 

through the last leg of winter. While the outbreak of 2015 

was devastating, it taught government officials tough 

lessons on how to respond to the Avian flu crisis.

In 1966, Joe Anderson established Haybuster 

Manufacturing Co., which would later become DuraTech 

Industries International, in Minot, North Dakota. Prior to 

starting Haybuster, Joe was a farmer and a rancher that 

preferred to grind hay for his livestock. While this method 

has many benefits, primarily the amount of money it saves 

on buying feed, it wasn’t exactly a viable option for small 

farmers without the room for such a large machine or 

the money to pay for one. Seeing that small farmers and 

ranchers were an ignored segment of the tub 

grinder market, Joe set out to create a tub 

grinder that would be both affordable and 

better suited for commercial agriculture. 

By the 1970s, business was booming and 

Joe had expanded Haybuster’s product line 

to include more hay processing and handling 

equipment, no-till drills, undercutters and 

rock pickers. When the 80s rolled around and 

the need to recycle and compost material 

emerged, Haybuster concentrated on creating 

a line of industrial tub grinders. With 30 years 

of experience creating quality tub grinders 

behind it, Haybuster expanded into the industrial market 

and released a line of high performance, industrial-grade 

tub grinders. This move would set the wheels in motion 

for Haybuster to expand and become DuraTech Industries 

International. Today, DuraTech markets over 20 products 

through its North American and international network of 

over 600 dealers worldwide. 

BIG BITE 

1150 &115 5 

Though they offer a wide range of machinery both 

commercial and industrial, DuraTech, staying true to their 

roots, continues to sell some of the best tub grinders on 

the market under the Haybuster name. Aptly named the 

“Big Bite” line of tub grinders, the commercial tub grinders 

offered by Haybuster set themselves apart with a large 

tub infeed opening, making getting large items down into 

the hammermill easier and more efficient than traditional 

horizontal grinders. When the hammermill or screens 

need maintenance, the 11 ft. wide x 50-inch deep tilt tub 

can open a full 90 degrees, giving you easy access for 

servicing. After hay is loaded into the tub grinder, the 30- 

inch x 26 ft. discharge conveyor can pile hay over 18 feet 

high and can also articulate left to right, which means that 

not only can you make the piles high, you can make them 

wide as well. 

The truck mounted Big Bite 1150 is the only truck 

mounted commercial grinder in the business. The unit is 

mounted over the truck axle, giving it enough traction to 

get through even the sloppiest farm and hay yards. The 

Big Bite 1150 is also easy to transport between jobs and 

40

Articles 

maneuver into tight spots. The Big Bite 1155 comes with 

all the same features as the Big Bite 1150, however, it is 

trailer mounted, allowing it to be dropped at the jobsite so 

the truck can be used for other chores. 

The Big Bite 1150 and 1155 both come equipped with a 

475hp or 540hp Model C15 Tier 3 Caterpillar engine that 

uses a state-of-the-art electronic fuel injection system to 

decrease fuel consumption. The electronic engine governor 

also keeps the engine RPMs constant, resulting in 

increased efficiencies and constant load. In addition to its 

fuel-efficiency, the engine is strong enough to get through 

those tough, wet bales of hay on rainy days. If strength and 

fuel-efficiency were not enough to sell you, you will also 

get the features that Caterpillar products are known for 

like reliability, cold weather starting, unsurpassed product 

support, and proven resale value. 

With such a valuable engine at the heart of the operation, 

you will want to do everything you can to keep it free of 

dirt and debris so it runs like new. The Big Bite 1150 and 

1155 has an enclosed engine compartment, as well as a 

self-cleaning rotary screen that protects the radiator intake 

from chaff and fines. The enclosed engine compartment 

greatly reduces the noise level during operation and the 

rotary screen keeps everything running smoothly with less 

down time spent cleaning out a plugged radiator. When 

you need to check on the engine, both the Big Bite 1150 

and 1155 come equipped with 3-door entry on both sides, 

as well as a front door on the radiator. 

The KPT Fluid coupler transmits rotating mechanical 

power with up to 98% efficiency and eliminates the need 

for a mechanical clutch. With this technology, 

the coupler can engage or disengage at full 

engine RPM without suffering damage and 

requires minimal maintenance. In addition 

to all of the power and efficiency that comes 

standard with every Haybuster product, 

controlling the functions of the machine 

could not be easier. Both the Big Bite 1150 

and 1155 include a conveniently located 

central command console that controls all 

functions of the machine. For those gloomy 

days when the weather is harsh, the last 

thing you want to do is get stuck in the dust 

coming off the machine. The Big Bite 1150 

and 1155 offer a wireless remote control system that 

lets you control the tub rotation, conveyor lift, conveyor 

articulation, and engine stop from a comfortable distance. 

Haybuster’s Big Bite 1150 and 1155 tub grinders make 

short work of all your grinding and processing jobs. They 

easily create valuable mulch, compost, and feedstock from 

leftover debris while also saving you time and money. The 

Haybuster Big Bite 1150 and 1155 tub grinders boast an 

ease of use unparalleled by any other tub grinder on the 

market today. Whatever the task, if you need a quality 

tub grinder that is highly efficient and uses cutting edge 

technology without breaking the bank, look no further than 

Haybuster.

Tips for getting the most out of 

the used equipment market. 

44

Articles 

Wait Until Spring to Shop 

After a historically low period of used equipment auctions, the market is slowly creeping back to its pre-recession 

rates. Starting in June of 2015, the number of machinery auctions began to rise and have continued to increase. 

According to data and trend analysis released by Machinery Pete, we could be returning to an auction price pattern 

similar to the golden days of 1989-2006. During that time period, machinery prices started strong at the beginning 

of the year and began to soften by the start of spring until mid-fall. So if you’re looking to find the best prices on used 

equipment, wait until at least mid-March to start searching. 

Be Smart About Leasing 

Throughout 2015, the idea of leasing equipment became more and more appealing for companies 

dealing with tight budgets. By leasing equipment instead of purchasing it, buyers can save money while 

still benefiting from the manufacturer’s warranty for necessary repairs as if they purchased it. If you 

want to avoid the loan process and try leasing equipment instead of purchasing, be sure to consider the 

amount of time that you’ll actually need the equipment. Once you sign a lease agreement, you will be 

committed for that time frame. Also, be sure to realistically figure out the number of hours you will use 

the equipment, as there are “excess usage charges” for going over your agreed limit. 

Look for Late-Model Used Equipment 

Throughout 2016, the opportunity to purchase late-model used equipment will increase. Many dealers are 

sitting on huge inventories of used equipment, hence the increase in the number of auctions mentioned 

earlier. However, you shouldn’t wait to make a purchase, as many buyers took advantage of the low 

prices of late-model equipment in the first half of 2015, causing the prices to spike by the second half. 

Slow Sales of New Equipment Will Impact the Used Market 

As previously mentioned, the surplus of 1-3 year old equipment 

makes for some great deals through 2016, but beware, this 

trend will not continue. For the past couple of years, the market 

for new equipment has been somewhat stagnant. Increasing 

prices for newer equipment has encouraged many buyers to 

gravitate toward leasing and rental options. While this was 

great for the leasing and rental markets, it could have a lasting 

impact on the used machinery market. With fewer sales of new 

equipment, there will be fewer options for two to three-year-old 

models in the used equipment market for the next few years. 

Take Care of the Equipment You Have 

The implementation of the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulations to reduce the emissions 

of diesel engines has brought forth a new era of technological innovation to meet the requirements. 

However, all of this new technology has left many buyers longing for the old days. Surprisingly, 

with so much new, sophisticated machinery available on the market, the demand for older, simpler 

machinery has never been higher. So even if you’re not looking to upgrade your equipment this year, 

remember that taking good care of it now could lead to a big pay off a few years down the road.
