Case SR270B
The Case SR270B is the biggest radial-lift machine in Case's wheeled lineup - a 90 hp, 8,117 lb large frame built for serious dirt work. With 282 lb-ft of torque, an available 8,677 lb breakout force, and an enhanced high-flow option pushing 4,000 psi, it's the radial counterpart to the vertical-lift SV340B for buyers who dig more than they load.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The 90 hp FPT's 282 lb-ft of torque is the most of any B-series Case, and operators say it pushes and digs with machines well above its weight class.
- ✓The enhanced high-flow option delivers 35 GPM at 4,000 psi, enabling cold planers and rock saws that standard 3,050 psi systems can't run properly.
- ✓Radial geometry with up to 8,677 lbs of breakout force makes it a true excavating machine - the pick of the big Cases for below-grade work.
- ✓The DPF-free DOC/SCR emissions package means no regen cycles ever, just DEF top-offs, which owners prefer to particulate-filter headaches.
- ✓The heavy-duty hydraulic coupler comes standard, so attachment swaps are done from the seat.
- ✓Case's wide cab, big door, and low entry point are consistently praised by operators spending full days in the machine.
- ✓The 8,117 lb operating weight gives it a planted, stable feel pushing heavy piles that lighter mid-frames can't match.
- ✓It undercuts a comparable 90 hp Bobcat S86 or Cat 270 build on price while matching them on standard flow.
Cons
- ✗Unlike the 74 hp B-series machines, the 90 hp engine needs SCR - so you're buying, storing, and dosing DEF, plus risking dosing-system faults.
- ✗Radial lift limits dump height and reach at full lift, so buyers loading tall trucks all day are better served by the SV280B or SV340B.
- ✗Case's dealer network is thinner than Bobcat's, Cat's, or Deere's, and parts delays are the most common ownership complaint.
- ✗Resale trails the big three, so the purchase-price advantage narrows over the ownership cycle.
- ✗B-series electrical and sensor gremlins - especially the operator-presence system - show up regularly in owner forums.
- ✗At over 8,100 lbs it demands a heavy trailer and at least a 3/4-ton truck, adding real transport cost for small outfits.
- ✗Enhanced high-flow, ride control, and cab upgrades are pricey options that push a loaded unit into large-frame Bobcat money.
- ✗The 2,700 lb rated capacity trails the cheaper vertical-lift SV280B by 100 lbs, so pure material handlers get better value elsewhere in the lineup.
