POWER

CX TRACK DESIGN

The shorter left track on the CX Track design allows for a more compact piece of equipment than competitive designs, offering more maneuverability in tighter spaces.
RELIABILITY
  • Robust, straightforward pivot design is maintenance-free and increases unit uptime. Greaseless sealed bearing design with construction-grade seals help increase machine longevity. Standard outboard bearing support stabilizes the headshaft and auger for reliable productivity trench after trench.
EASE OF USE
