Additional Information
- Plowing & Heavy Towing Potential: The iconic high-drive sprocket layout isolates the final drives from ground shock loads, making this 49,000 lb, 205 hp machine the industry-standard choice for demanding tasks like deep vibratory plowing or heavy clearing.
- 6-Way Blade Versatility: The multi-axis VPAT blade allows the operator to lift, angle, and tilt hydraulically on the fly, delivering superior speed when backfilling utility trenches or cutting complex slopes.
- Logistical Advantage: Despite its high-production weight class, the XL frame configuration optimizes weight-to-footprint distribution, while the 6-way blade can be angled to simplify highway transport logistics between project sectors.
