FAIRFIELD, Ohio – FINN Corporation has introduced a large tank HydroSeeder with a CARB Compliant, Tier 4 Final diesel engine. The new machine is powered by a Cummins QSB 4.5 liter diesel engine and meets the state of California’s emissions standards for diesel powered machinery. The FINN Titan 400 HydroSeeder unit was purchased by a California firm that provides a variety of erosion control services in the western United States.
Tier 4 Final/Euro Stage IV engine compliance as legislated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reduces exhaust emissions by more than 90 percent through integration of engine and fuel controls. FINN isn’t federally required to convert its large tank HydroSeeders to Tier 4 Final compliance until the end of 2017. However, when a customer needed it more quickly to meet job requirements, the FINN team of engineers and production crew came together to equip and manufacture the machine.
