Operator's Cab
(?)
The 550Z is available in canopy or cab configurations, allowing you to tailor the machine to meet your specific work environment.
(?)
(?)
Large cab offers state-of-the-art controls, digital display and excellent visibility.
Open canopy for easy entry and exit.
Optional cab enclosure with heat or heat/air-conditioning system provides protection in extreme weather conditions.
Adjustable suspension seat and armrests provide personalized comfort.
Excellent visibility in all directions allows safe and efficient operation. Rear mirror provides a view of the back and side of the machine for additional safety.
Work lights and integrated boom light enhances the operator’s view after dark.
Controls
(?)
The controls on the 550Z compact excavator are ergonomically designed and easy to use.
(?)
(?)
Digital Operator Interface shows real time system information, service reminders, and 90 days of operating history.
Large travelling pedals are easy to press and allow confident, reliable work.
Pilot operated joystick controls are operated by simple wrist movements, reducing fatigue during a long workday.
One-way auxiliary functions can be controlled by a foot pedal or joystick buttons, allowing optimal control of high-flow attachments such as compactors or breakers.
The operator can easily select from ISO or standard operating control patterns with the flip of a mechanical lever.
Engine
(?)
The 550Z compact excavator is built around a powerful, reliable emission-certified Tier IV Yanmar diesel engine.

Model
4TNV86CT Tier IV
Type
Diesel
Displacement (L)
128cu.in. (2.09)
Net Power (kW) @ rpm
44.9 hp (33.5) @ 2400
Fuel Tank (L)
17.4 gal. (66)
Fuel Consumption (L/hr)
1.35 gal./hr. (5.1)
Yanmar Tier IV certified turbo charged, diesel engine with 44.9 hp provides excellent balance in power and fuel conservation.
ECO Mode can be activated from the cab with a switch. When activated, the engine speed is reduced by 10%, reducing fuel consumption for lowered operating costs.
Auto Deceleration lowers the engine speed to idle, reducing the noise and emissions levels when the hydraulic movement has not occurred for more than four seconds. This increases fuel economy and lowers operating costs.
Proven technology provides reliable operation and a fuel efficient system.
Easy-starting, even in cold weather without the need for block heaters or starting fluid.
Boom
(?)
Rugged, high-strength boom incorporates features to protect and extend the life of moving parts and components.
(?)
(?)
Precision welded boom is constructed with thick side plates that are reinforced by contoured transition plates.
Heavy-duty sliding cylinder guards protect exposed cylinder rods from damage.
Integrated boom light illuminates the work area and allows for safe and effective operation after dark.
Reliable single pin boom mount design for optimal durability and component life.
Hydraulics
(?)
The advanced hydraulic system on the 550Z provides long-lasting, efficient power precisely when you need it.
(?)
(?)
Pumps
2 variable, 2 gear
Total Flow Rate (L/min)
36.9 gpm (139.4)
Working Pressure (bar)
3,553 psi (245)
Swing System Pressure (bar)
3,133 psi (216)
Oil Cooler
Standard
Hydraulic Tank (L)
10.0 gal. (38)
Standard auxiliary proportional hydraulics give the operator infinitely variable control of the hydraulic flow.
Hydraulic system is designed to enhance engine performance, resulting in a more efficient system.
Two variable pumps and two gear pumps combine oil and redirect the flow to where it is needed, allowing for simultaneous operation without loss of power.
Smooth operation, even while using the boom and arm during turning.
Auxiliary hydraulic shut-off valve, tubing and hoses with flat faced coupler connections are standard equipment.
Two-way and one-way auxiliary flow valve with direct-to-tank bypass valve feature is standard equipment.
Undercarriage
(?)
The undercarriage of the 550Z compact excavator was designed with serviceability and longevity in mind.
(?)
(?)
Staggered tread and mandrel design combined with shorter track pitch reduces vibration.
Long tracks provide a smoother ride over rough terrain.
Tracks are short-pitched to reduce wear, fatigue and damage.
Angled crawler frame reduces soil buildup on the undercarriage, extending the life of rollers and tracks.
Serviceability
(?)
(?)
(?)
Two large, rear doors open easily to expose the battery, engine oil, air filter and cooling system.
The right-hand side cover is easily removed with just two bolts. Remove the top right hand side to easily clean behind the radiator.
A cover on top of the unit on the right side allows access to the fuel supply and a handy tool storage tray.
The access panel beneath the operator’s seat easily opens to reveal the starter motor, fuse panel, alternator and fan belt.
Attachments
Auger Bit - Rock Standard
(?)
The EDGE rock auger bits feature a reinforced fabricated boring head, double wrapped 5/16” flighting, conical carbide teeth and a standard “fi shtail” center point. EDGE rock auger bits are not intended for use in concrete or asphalt applications.
View Details
Auger Bites - Adapters
(?)
EDGE auger bit adapters are available for adapting your round auger drive to a hex bit and and vice versa. Auger extensions are also available.
View Details
Auger Bites - Tree & Shrub
(?)
The EDGE tree and shrub auger bits feature 5/16” double wrapped flighting with smaller diameter auger flighting at the bottom leaving space for root balls, fertilizer, or mulch. The tree and shrub auger bits are approximately 50” in overall length with heat treated teeth and a “fishtail” center point.
View Details
Auger Bits - Rock
(?)
Rock auger bits feature a reinforced fabricated boring head, double wrapped 5/16” flighting, conical carbide teeth and a conical “bullet-tooth”center point. These bits are 50” in overall length and not intended for use in concrete or asphalt applications.
View Details
Breakers
(?)
Break concrete quickly and easily into load-ready debris with an EDGE® breaker. EDGE offers models from the 150 ft/lb impact energy class through the 1,500 ft/lb impact energy class.

Compaction Plate
(?)
EDGE compaction plates can be used anywhere a boom can reach in trenches, around foundations, on slopes or seawalls. Compaction plates can safely compact trenches, often eliminating the extra cost involved with a walk-behind unit and the added expense of trench boxes or shoring. EDGE compaction plates are also ideal for driving steel sheeting used for retaining walls.
