Eskridge versus McMillen

Many of our customers have asked us how we compare with the McMillen "Extreme" digger. The Eskridge 78-48 K2 has over 9% more torque than a McMillen Extreme 14K2. The Eskridge 78-48 K2 has a automatic kickdown which means it stays in low gear until you want to shift back to high gear. This makes the operation smoother overall. Here are the simple calculations.

	Eskridge 78-48 K2 w/2X2 motor	McMillen Extreme 14K2
Motor Displacement (cid)	10.2	8.925
Operating Pressure (PSI)	2,400	2,400
Motor Torque (in-lbs)	3,896	3,409
Gear Drive ratio	47.74	50
*Torque Output (ft-lbs)**	15,500	14,205

*Standard Eskridge performance ratings include efficiency factors for both the motor and the planetary gear drive which result in a more conservative rating of 12,000 ft-lbs.
