Adzer:

The adzer head utilizes a slider box arrangement with hydraulic cylinders for horizontal and vertical movements.  This provides sturdy mounting and precise control from the cab.  The  horizontal control on the competitor’s machine is a manual screw type adjustment.  Our adzer head lifts high allowing better access for replacing bits.  The cutter head bearing housing is securely fastened to the housing using a 6 bolt flange.

Kribber Reels:

The kribber reels do a superb job of cribbing because they are long enough to mount 6 elements per flight instead of 4.  This helps to assure the ballast is sufficiently removed from  the cribs, as well as sweeping the ties clean in front of the adzer head.  Access to the rear reel bearing is improved, making service and repair easier.

Crawlers:

Cab:

The roomy 54" wide cab is accessed from the rear, from the side of the frame, eliminating the need for walkway access.  The controls are located in a logical manner and the seat features side shift adjustment.

 

 

Dust Vacuum:

The vacuum system is a high capacity unit that uses a positive pressure cyclone to separate dust and debris.  The mounting is fixed and sturdy - no pivoting mounts to break.  This means no more clogged cyclones, since there is no accumulation of material inside the cyclone.

 

 

Engine:

The engine is located to keep the radiator away from the adzer head.  The air cleaner is located to minimize dust intake.  The muffler is positioned to allow good visibility.

 

 

Hydraulics:

The hydraulic system is simple to trouble shoot.  The components are located for ease of access, and to minimize the risk of fires caused by debris accumulation and hydraulic leaks.

 

               

 

Turntable:

The turntable is permanently mounted, and allows for quick machine directional changes.

 

 

Mainframe:

The mainframe is long enough to allow open component mounting to facilitate service and cleaning.  This helps reduce the possibility of fire.

 

Fire Prevention:

The machine design reduces buildup of debris and allows for easy cleaning.  We install an onboard water tank and offer an automatic fire suppression system as an option.
