FEATURES & BENEFITS

In control

Electronic controls allow the operator to preset the creep speed to optimize performance on longer distance installations, enhancing productivity while helping to reduce operator fatigue.

Jobsite visibility

The operator’s station is located at the center of the service plow directly above the machine’s articulation point, providing excellent visibility of the work area.

Maximum productivity

Features a dedicated plow [24 in (60.9 cm) maximum installation depth] with the option to utilize a forward-mounted trencher [42 in (106.7 cm) maximum trenching depth and 6 in (15.2 cm) maximum trenching width] and/or bore attachment.

Serviceability

Access to hydraulic and engine oil filters does not require removal of any shielding, making service and preventive maintenance more efficient.
