Easing the Move between Jobsites
Moving between jobsites is also simplified with the new RT80 trencher. A modular track-frame design allows tires and tracks to be easily interchanged in the field. And when it’s equipped with tracks, the trencher fits on a standard drop-deck trailer for easy transport. The updated design improves the RT80 trencher’s versatility, but it still delivers the productivity and ease of use that the machine’s users expect.
Productivity
Built for heavy-duty work, the RT80 trencher is powered by a 74.5-horsepower Deutz, Tier 4 diesel engine. It delivers a best-in-class static load rating of 35,407 pounds and a wide-axle rating of 39,000 pounds.
The machine is built to maximize efficiency, as well. Its three-speed, shift-on-the-fly ground drive system increases productivity by allowing operators to select the correct range without needing to stop work. And it can work in any terrain or weather condition. An advanced cruise-control system senses engine load and automatically adjusts ground drive speed to changing soil conditions for superior traction and maneuverability.
Ease of Use
The RT80 trencher’s new high seat rotates 90 degrees with the operator for more comfortable, simplified operation. And operation, itself, is aided by a dial-control design, which places precision control of ground drive and attachment speeds in the operator’s hands.
